Constatine Mi. Races

[Tomtall]

Well what a great day a Constantine and a well run race by MHRA. 130 + entries. Sunshine and in the high 70's. Water was good most the day with only a few people complaning about it being "lump out there". Quit a few new faces in the sport made it to this race for their rookie runs. Some gun jumpers but for the most part, starts were pretty decent. Tim Sedor running very well in "C" hydro winning both his heats. Shaun O'Lerry winning the first heat in "D" stock only to give his second heat to Jim Sweeney to a jump start. "Mean Red Racing" was smoking fast in FE winning both his heats. Peter Lauer winning one heat of AXSR and Steven McCourty winning the other both running those wicked fast McCourty hulls. Sweeney Jr. was very fast in AXSH. Joel Kiddy was the JR person to beat with Lauer close on his stern. More racing on Sunday with scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon forcast. Great American Leagion Burgers as always. Maybe some other places can be posted later. Sunburned and going to bed. Races start at 11:00 on Sunday so we will get to sleep in before the drivers meeting. Till next time - TallTom sighning off.

Constantine Races

Hello Tom- Thanks for the quick run down. How did Adam do or didn't he run with the Mod As? Tell Mean Red I said hello and most probably won't be headed to MI this year. We still have to hoist one for Uncle Bud's memory (Bud Parker). If you see Tim Kurcz, tell him I said Hi also.
If you get any pictures, please post or if someone else is snapping away, tell them to post.
Have a great day at the races.

Thanks to MHRA for a job well done and all our new drivers for doing a great job!

Good times.

Tim Sidor won the inaugural 20SSH Race 4 KAOS in memory of Kevin Ladd. It looked to be a battle between Sidor and Kevin's father in law Joe Pater as both ran away with a win in their elims before Pater cooked his motor in the final.

Yes !

Thanks for the reminder Stephen. I had some pic's of Tim and the Kaos t-shirts that were sold.

Constantine Race

Thanks to everyone who attended the Constantine Race. It was nice to be lazy at a race for once and everyone stayed safe, even though Mike Marshall had a nice swin. I also appreciate all the help and support Joe & I received in getting our motorhome fixed. I am proud to be part of such a loving and caring boat racing community!

Thanks again for everything. And as Tom Low stated - see you all in Augusta next weekend. Please support. Mark Miskerik put a lots of effort into this to make it great! It should be loads of fun!

600 plus miles one way but........................

Thanks to the MHRA crew for all the hard work. It is always nice to see the midwest folks. We outran the rain all the way back and got back in time to see the sun rise!

Maybe some of you guys will make the trip this fall to Jesup or Taber City to race with us in October!


Nice to see Joe, Kelly and Cory. God Bless you guys.
