Trout Creek Regatta

Thanks SLORA for a great weekend. Had a blast. This was a great place to race. Weather was terrific (really too hot - I heard up to 103 deg on Fri for testing). Thanks to everyone for a fun race!

It was great to have you and thanks for all the help.. It was great to see you, Jon Peterson and his family, John Maroney and his family and Al and Bonnie Peffley.. Everyone got to run as much as they wanted Friday and two heats for everyone.. Hopefully we will get more help with the pleasure boats next year..

We had some great close racing with some really close finishes.. The large crowd really got into it.. I wish our team had had better luck but now I have two boats to repair but it was nice to be in the hunt both days.

Thank you again Jon Peterson for the loan of the power head.. It was fun to keep up and start to pass the big dogs but this year has not been kind..Thank you also to Toby Waling for helping save my fast sinking boat.. Not to many crash boat drivers will dive in to help with the boat in the middle of the lake..

I must say the Naught Pine had a great BBQ for all of us and the whole weekend was great with some really scorching temperatures and great friends!!

Jon, your boat looked good and fast while it lasted.. I guess when You are on the road you can't carry every spare part.. No one has any pictures of me before I broke down.. Bummer At least we had the "Bucket List" and the Gizmo ( C Mod) going the way it should.. Still have a ways to go to catch John Maroney.

It was a fun and perfect weekend for racing with our very large family

Looks like the Bucket List wasn't liking a foreign driver. Kevin, if that was only the 2nd time in the boat it looked very good

That picture of the older driver was a new folk in boat and he had a blast.. Did anyone know he is 80 years young.. He wants to sponsor our boats for next year.. He had the time of his life but the wife was not impressed and hid behind a tree and could not watch... Also we had our two EMT that donated there time go out in Rondas boat and they are still talking about it.
