First a history lesson, the Town of Kingston was founded in 1694. (I believe Bill Giles was there to sign the incorporation papers!).
The Brick Building in Christines's photo's was built in 1883, first as a Seminary and later used as the local High School.
The Church in the photo's is adjacent to the pits and the parking lot is used to stage the trailers prior to moving them into the pits. Hence, the reason we do not start engines until noontime.
As you view the picture of the Pond, by 4PM the Sun is directly over the trees at the far end making visability a little tough. Because of the Church and the Sun issues, this dictates that we run a 3 1/2 to 4 hour program and limit the classes to ten.
If you look close at the pond, you may notice a tree limb that extends out over the water halfway up the right side of the pond. We had a DSH Driver have that branch skim his helmet.
Michael R. - We had a meeting Monday evening the 22nd specifically to see where we could expand the pits. Bottom line, you bring the boats,we will pit them!
To the TRORA Crew, would love to have you. If you can bring a class that was not listed on the schedule board, bring 5 or more and a class with less numbers will be dropped to one heat, four laps. The Fishers Landing crrew runs Crystal Lake the week before, would make for a great Fall vacation in the Northeast. Heck, Taunton, Massachusetts is the week before Crystal Lake and Franklin. PA is the week after Kingston, blow off work and pull a Brewster and race all September. When you are old and retired you will be glad you did.
hey steve
that was me who hit the tree branch. I was coming up on the outside of you and I wasnt letting off. You guys run a great race up there. Hope to see you and Alan in Milville
Peter, It's too bad that Paul didn't get a photo of your helmet in the trees or of the Tohatsu hood doing the high jump on turn 1 in DSH, 1st lap. Alex P. and I used to like to water ski into the tree branches on the Kennebec and Cobbosee Stream. We were going a little slower though. Paul's new photos are up on www.southshoreoutboard.com for you "from-awayers"
Jeff, that pic is freakin sweet! I might have to use that as my background. Was great meeting you guys! And thanks for the two dough nut! Hope to see you at Standish or somewhere next summer.
