2020 in Region 5

[Howie Nichols]

We are looking at race dates for next spring and would like some feedback.

Once again we have the chance to hold 2 events, Lakeland and Jesup. After looking at the calendar it is showing Easter Sunday on April 12 so the question is:

What is the consensus of having 2 events back to back?

Lakeland (with a record course) on March 28 & 29 then

Jesup (Eastern Championship / WinterNationals) on April 3,4, & 5th

SO / MO / J will run at both locations, select PRO may run in Jesup but not Lakeland per the sponsor's request.

Howie, I don't have anything to run at Lakeland, only at Jesup, but back-to-back weekends makes good sense. Sort of like the old Grapefruit Circuit re-visited.

[Herb Lanphear]

Sounds like a winner! Thanks for all that sweat equity!

[Matt Dagostino]

Doing Lakeland the weekend before Jesup should snag a few more Outboard entries..........would your Lakeland event be a stand alone Outboard Race or held in conjunction with the big early spring Inboard Race?

[Howie Nichols]

It would be a stand alone Outboard event. The Inboard race will be the first weekend of March.

Sounds like a plan, a good one too!!

Howie,
Great idea!
We'll have to see where everyone is at with school, but Mikey and Cole are already talking about coming to both. We'll see if we can get a few more from IL to join us.
Thanks for working on this!

Would Lakeland be on the record course?

[Howie Nichols]

Yes Johnny that is the plan.

Team Scoop is in for both
