Ross told us at Longbeach, that if we could get 5 confirmed boats for the thunderboat regatta, September 19-21, he would place J class on the sanction to race in front of the 150,000 fans who have attended for the last 41 years.
I know, school will have begun, which makes it tough, and, region 12 only has 2 legal J boats to date, KT jumps in to make a class, but has no real interest running J. So, if anyone is interested and can come, get a hold of Ross Wallach, or answer back and I will call Ross for an update. This could be a fun event with allot of badly needed exposure in this area for the junior class.
If not, and some one just wants to get some good water time, we usually practice for a few hours a day in front of the start finish line (by the clock) off Fiesta Island. Typically, be there Saturday morning, 6:00AM to set up, the water is typically yours until 9:30 or 10, when the first thunder boat spools up, you're done for the day....Have not heard from the powers at be just yet, but that's the way it usually goes down.
