The grass roots $200 race paid off in spite of a low turn out of racers at Lake Placid this week end.
FUN was had by all. (And testing in perfect conditions for Jesup).
In addition the club made money, even with the light turn out. New to AOF members equaled 14! Where else has a race been a flop with 14 new racers added to the roster?
AND, a new club was formed - to-get this- stage races every month just down the road at Lake Wales. (The new club is in addition to Highlands Outboard Association).
Now central Florida can boast 2-that is TWO- track race sites with a race at each every month.
Travelling out of central Florida could be a thing of the past as the two venues will compliment each other, and more and more racers will be wanting to join in, and save their travelling money to put toward race equipment.
Thank you so much to all involved: Carl and Tony Staron, The Schlipf, Carter and McDermott families, and Linda Eldredge on the kneeldown end. And to Andy Anderson and Phil Zoeller (I don't know who else) from the SLT's who have made this happen.
AOF members, you are doing your job in promoting grass roots racing at it's best. Congratulations on your FLOP! It was a progressive success.
