Thank You

Always a pleasure to travel to Region 3. Great racing, great people and always a great time. Good luck on the J driver issue, my letter is in the mail. Once you get that resolved your next task should be to get an overpass built over Connecticut so we could travel in a timely manner to your races. 10.5 hours to go 400 miles Sunday nite after Millville!!

You should try the burbs around Washington DC. Lemme see, 10.5 hours to do 400 miles, that's close to 40mph average! Three times in the year before I fled Car Jam City (DC) I spent more'n an hour to do 10 miles!

I assume you're talking about the bleeeeeeeeep-up on I-84 in Waterbury?
(for those who don't know, 84 is undergoing a huge transformation in Waterbury, costing the state hundreds of MILLIONS. Except the contractor messed up just about everything and most, if not all, of it has to be redone. Traffic nightmare - light years worse than it was before the work.)

I've gotten stuck for hours in that mess heading to my parents' house - and yet they still wonder why I only go there once a year

Matt,

You should be commended for all of your efforts this season. GREAT JOB!

This guy drove to Millville, got us up and running, and returned home to work without even racing on Saturday. Now that’s a team player.


To All of Our Scorers,

Simply Amazing!

These folks work 8 hours a day on their weekends so we can have fun.

You didn't look like you were having much fun running around in the back??

It was nice that you brought Heather, maybe it was the thought of fatherhood that slowed you down

Thanks again for the hard work on the Pond Cup Series. We all can use the $$$$$ to fix up our wrecked boats from Sunday at Millville.

Not sure what C hydro race you were watching. I remember being on the scales Saturday. It's good to see AJ still has 3 on you


Anyway, thanks to all the 20 drivers for supporting the series and for keeping us around late Sunday. Results to follow.

Details

What is the story in 20SSH? Left early to avoid the traffic (HAH!)

[Matt Dagostino]

20ssh action...................

The 20ssh feature was run dead last on sunday and a full field of boats was rapidly cut down to i believe 4 boats once all the carnage and burned up motors were sorted out...............nobody was hurt beyond a few cuts and bruises.

Just another day at Millville!! Can't wait till spring!

[Hydroglobe17J]

Seemed like CSH Racing at Lock Haven again......

What is the story in 20SSH? Left early to avoid the traffic (HAH!)

More restarts, whole field jumped first heat, Chip Fuller got crashed again with Jimmy M., Matt D.in water with MD boat I think,not a pretty way to end a GREAT WEEKEND at MILLVILLE!

As I said Sunday to you Matt G., AWESOME job directing the race weekend & Special Thanks To All that helped with putting this past weekend together!,Great Job!

[srunne]

Thank you all for coming to our races and supporting DVORA. My hat is off to all those who help and spend many hours sitting on the judgestand, setting up the race course, etc. and organizing the race so we can all come and have a good time. It is always very exciting when the first race of season comes and it is always a relief when the last one arrives. Hope you all have a wonderful winter and get your honey do list done before next season. I know Rich has already started his.
