Thank you APBA!!

[Hutch06]

On behalf of the Michigan Hydroplane Racing Association, I would like to thank Mark Wheeler, Dan Wiener, and APBA for their help and support of Club Driving Schools.

"The first 2013 sanction MHRA submits, which includes a Friday driving school, will be free.

Thanks for the fine work MHRA has done with driving schools."

SOA has received the same support.

Thank you again APBA for recognizing a great solution to solving our membership issue and providing support and encouragement for us to continue.

We are a tough bunch to please

For as much bashing as APBA has taken.....a positive post like this gets "crickets".

We are a tough bunch to please.

I am sure if I post a digital rulebook vs. printed copy we would get 4 pages worth of negative posts.

APBA is helping those that help themselves. Thank you APBA. It is appreciated.

BTW, the Historical Society, affiliated with APBA, has also done an incredible amount of Philanthropic work to support outboard racing. Things we may want to think about before writing our next bashing post.

Yes they have Dean.

For all those parents out there remember who steped up to provide props to our "J" program. How many "Thank You" letters or posts followed that donation?

Awesome decision from APBA! It's no coincidence that the two regions with the longest standing drivers schools are the biggest regions in APBA.

Absolutely correct sir! Also the biggest in number of racers (not entries). Keep up the good work MHRA and SOA!

Good job!!

If you look at the percentage of people who post negative comments versus the actual number of members or people involed in the sport of boat racing it is very very small. The problem is they get way more attention than they deserve.

There are alot of great things going on in boat racing-I would say even thought the membership looks small the amount of races and the quality of the races are the best they have ever been.

Stay the coarse and keep up the good work-there will never be the membership numbers that used to be-to many other things for people to do but continue to run the quality events that you do and you will always have boat racing.

Races

Having raced for the majority of my life....I find it so cool that so many people devote so much time to the sport....and how well most races are run....what other sport has as many different diverse classes running in a day of racing? And we usually get everybody on the water at least twice...I could go on and on...Dave
