At the last TOMORC meeting, after much discussion, and a vote, it was agreed to place 'Classics' on the sanction for Top of Michigan Outbard Marathon Nationals, August 13th & 14th, 2011.
Most of the discussion was about timing/safety issues, fitting them into the alloted time, not interfering or endangering the J's, and participation numbers. We have not had the numbers that we had hoped for.
I would like to point out that a majority of club members attending the meeting want classics to participate, and believe that if we stick with it for another year or two, that the numbers, hopefully, will be good enough to validate the extra effort put forth by the club.
This is were you ALL come into the equation. If you have ever thought an abbreviated Top'O course, run using a 'classic' engine and maybe boat, would be on your bucket list, I would strongly suggest that you start putting your plans in order for August 13th & 14th. We need you to help make 'Classics' a reality for the future.
I've been asked to remind potential classic racers that as it is not a national championship, (for classics), that a single day, (in this case 'event'), membership can be purchased for the weekend. Also, all safety requirements, such as helment, kevlar, kill switch requirements must be met.
Thanks to all, please start spreading the word about 'classics' at Top'o for 2011, we definitely need the numbers to improve to keep the events addition to Top'O. I, personally will not be satisfied til' I hear multiple converted 20-H's wraaaaping it up by Thursday's test session at KampKurz.
Maybe we can hear from pontential classic racers to get some idea about who might want to articipate in this one-of-kind event. Think Classics. Thank You! KampKurz
