Howie,
Very cool to see! Will it be a record course?

[Howie Nichols]

Yes, I believe it is a 1 mile.

[Tom Cronk]

YES THAT CHANGED 15-20 YEARS AGO

[DiGia54D]

Unless you go to the West Coast you wont see anything over a mile anyplace

[Matt Dagostino]

Doesn't Dayton run the 1 1/4 course anymore?

2. There will be a kickoff party Friday night beginning @ 5:30 pm that all are invited to. I believe it will be a BBQ as well, but am unsure of cost if any.

3. Pits are tight, we need to stay as compact as possible when parking trailers.

Time is winding down for pre registrations, they need to be in for you to get tow money, this will also help the scorer's in preparation.

[Larry Reynolds]

Will the public be allowed in the pits this year?

[Larry Reynolds]

I am restoring a 44xs Mercury Racing engine. Is anyone that is attending the race have a parts motor that I can purchase?

[Howie Nichols]

Check with Dave Scott or Bill Keegan in Canada they may be able to point you in the right direction

[dpdeck]

Senior member of Deck Racing will also be in 300ssh. 100S will be 83 in June.

[Graham]

Will anyone have the new 125 cc engine at Lakeland for viewing?

[baries]

In reply to Larry Reynolds, No the public will not be allowed in the pits. Only admission by signing the waiver and receiving an arm band and the only arm bands issued are for participants only due to the expected congestion that comes with a record run for inboard and stock classes.

[Graham]

And the outboard winners are - Who won what when you folks have some time.

[Howie Nichols]

No racing for the stocks/j classes winds to high

[Graham]

Sorry to hear this news, Howie.
