      it would be nice if a list could be made of those people without email
      and only pay to send snail mail sanctions to those people. If Dans national average numbers held true to boat racers. The cost would be about 1/3 of what it is now.

        I sent my trailer registration about a month ago... hoping everything was recieved correctly. Is there anyway of knowing your spot before hand?

        Also, looking at the layout of the pits (in particular the clock), is the course going to be moved more north up the lake than usual? The current clock location is pretty close to the "normal" first turn.

              As it is a nationals the starting chute has a minimum length. To accomodate that the course has been moved down the lake

                Anybody know how far the Comfart Inn is from the race-site/pits? The girl at the reservation desk asked me what lake the race was on. I replied 'Grass Lake'. She responded: "well there are a lot of lakes around here... it's probably on Wolf lake". I let it go at that and didn't bother to ask her hair color.

                308 N. Lake Street, 49240.... yeah... we'll find it... Maggy Magellan probably knows where it is. Thanks.

                And, just out of shear curiosity, do I need a safe-boater card??????? fuggedabowdit!

                  Nats update

                  We will not be disclosing pit spots or the schedule prior to arrival, both are still not final

                  The Comfort Inn to the Pits is 15 minutes door to door. I drove it and clocked it several times. I can not believe the desk clerk did not recognize it.

                    Stupid question time. For whatever reason, I can not get the pdf file to download....I am curious as to how big the course is, size of turns etc. The sanction says 1 mile...is that going to be accurate? Thanx

                      PDF loaded fine for me. But does not show course or course size, just pit layout

                        Sorry about this. My son cannot get time off of Grass Lake. Give our pit stall to someone in need. I will be at Grass Lake and available to drive rescue boat or tow boat from Tues to Fri as much as you need.

                          Course

                          Pro 350,

                          1 mile is approx. I expect it to be at least 1 mile could go as high as 1.2. We are shooting for a large first turn and a more "racey" second turn, similar to Copperopolis.

                          Nothing is final though, the lake may dictate final course length and position.

                          Thanks,
                          Dean
