    Ok here is some live updates from the race. 84 entries for Saturday. It's 3:30 and we are starting the 4th flight. Great water with a little gusty wind. No wrecks or flips yet. Will try to post some results. Reply if you need to know who won what. Some impressive rigs. Peter Lauer won axr and won 3 out of 4 heats in A with his Merc. Pater sweep the 20 hydro in the 1V pavlick ride. C hydro was a toss between Pater and Miskerik. C runabout was all Pater. Grant Hearn won J hydro one day and jumped 2 heats for another day. We had 4 classes get a 2nd day of racing today. The marathon is yet to come. It is technichly the 5th set. Only 10 marathoners with 4 A's and 6 C's. Where are all the marathoners? Need to support the races. That's all for now. See ya Mikey

      Update

      Mike - You forgot the most important marathoner of that race.

      Mr. Jack Deck (sp?) ran his classic Switzter Craft runabout with a KG7 in the marathon. All 20 minutes worth! Oh big deal you say? Jack is 75 years young and the last time he raced this boat in a race was in 1958! His biggest complaint after the race was all this new fangled saftey gear gets really warm when your racing. We never got that hot in the old days racing in our t-shirts and shorts. He had a smile from ear to ear that proved your never to old for boat racing !!!

      Also a congratulation to Jerry Oberlin who traveled with his family from Jesup Ga. to race this race site. Jerry drove smart and finished first in "A" runabout. Great job Jerry!

        name is Jack Deck, and behalf of him, thanks to the MHRA for making a dream come true. He is trying to get the boat, motor, and driver in shape to run the Top O! To say the ear to ear smile was there would be an understatement! He was still complaining about the gear this morning, but thankfully the race was the first! Also, upon approval of his doc, I think we throw him in at Constatine as I believe he took first in the stock classics this weekend!
        When it comes to boat racing and the wife, it's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is permission, and of course I spent a number of nights sleeping on the couch!

            For now...

            Thanks so much to everyone who attended and helped at the Wendy's/MHRA Top Gun Series Opener. We certainly wouldn't have been able to do it without you. We sure wish we'd see more of you (especially Michigan racers) at an absolutely gorgeous race site. A lake that can easily withstand a 15-20 mph breeze, a sandy beach, top notch catered dinner by Lickety Split, beautiful campground, and one hell of a bar in the Barking Frog in Augusta... I can't see why you wouldn't want to race here!!

            Highlights of the weekend must be to see 3 new racers get there first heats in (ages ranging from 14-75). Congrats to Jack and Mike Deck, and the Fox protege'.

            Even after leaving the site at 6pm with everything packed and ready for Constantine, I'll try to post results tomorrow.

            Thanks again to everyone who came to such a nice site.

                        Ditto to all the above. For those who missed this event you missed a some of the best water ever. A special thanks to all the ladies who took care of registration, dinner tickets, T shirt sales and all your work.......it does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

                        Thanks,

                          If anyone has some nice high-def. photos, would you mind sending me a link or emailing me some. I am looking for the Propeller magazine in July.
