The Smilin George Memorial is officially ON!!!

[propnuts]

I wanted to wait until after Nationals to announce this, but a couple things made me come out with the news a little early.

First is Friday the 27th. There WILL be New Folks in Boats that day from noon till 6PM. If you are interested in helping or if you know someone who would like to participate as a driver please be there NO LATER than 11AM for a drivers meeting/school. THERE WILL BE NO TESTING FOR RACERS.

Second is my need to get T shirts printed up. I have a picture of George that his daughter gave me that is just awesome, I gaurentee you'll love it. BUT I also promised the A/C marathon guys they would be imortalized on this year's shirt (I'm thinking on the back). Here's the problem, my scorers were having so much fun watching a race they didn't have to score that they don't have last years results. Combined with a not so great memory on my part means I need help figuring out who's pictures should go on there. Fortunately we had a LOT of really young guys with really sharp memories running. What I need from you guys is the top 3 teams in A/C Hydro and A/C runabout.

It's going to be another great event, special thanks to Bill and Vicki for getting our permit through. If I don't see you at Orroville hopefully I'll see you at Eatonville.

Team Bluesky will be there can't wait to see our friends from the West!

Seriously guys

I know there's a lot going on right now, but I have a deadline for my shirts. Help a brother out here guys.

[Racerkyle20]

dude i got nothing....I think JMK won one of the A parts, but not sure who his partner was...

[mercguy]

Me and Kyle Lewis took 3rd in AC runabout, Guido and Drew 2rd, Mikey and Salmon 1st I believe.

A/C marathon

I know there's a lot going on right now, but I have a deadline for my shirts. Help a brother out here guys.

Tony, regarding the A/C marathon I can help you with the first two places as my boys played a part in it. First place went to the team of Mike Bartlett and Jamie Nilsen. Second place went to the team of Kyle Hannon and Jonathan Nilsen. Not sure about third, maybe someone else will speak up.

Hope this helps.

This was the hydro marathon.

[propnuts]

Thanks guys, I am REALLY close now.

All I need is 3rd place A/C hydro and I have a shirt! c'mon guys, somebody knows!

[propnuts]

One more bump

OK, since nobody knows who placed 3rd in A/C hydro I think the only fair thing to do is just put the winners on the shirt. Sorry to the other finishers, we'll try to keep better track this year.

Sounds like a plan to me. It was sure fun to watch but I have "mad cow" and don't remember anything!

[blueskyracer]

Tony, is the SOA site going to have on line registration up soon. All I see for an option is Cullaby lake.

[blueskyracer]

We will also be there Thursday so we can help with the new drivers program on Friday with boat, motor, driver suit, helmet if needed.

Online registration

I just got off the phone with Pat Gleason, he is having problems getting the online registration working for this race while on the road. Check back around Tuesday or Wednesday and let me know if there's still issues.

On the good news side, Oregon Race Rescue will be there for New Folks testing on Friday. Also on the good news side I just recieved confirmation that Oberto will once again be sponsoring our prize shirts, so please remember to Eat Like An Alpha and help support the good folks at Oh Boy Oberto.
