Great race day on Saturday! Good weather and great racing! Only accident was Colin Rucker in his new 20ssh (spectacular blow over in first turn! He's okay.). 38 heats in 5.5 hours with elims in OSY, CSH, and 20ssh! pretty dang good. Thanks to Jim, rick, Howard, and Mark! You guys always put on a great show!

Also thanks to Ron Mag, who put on a hell of a party Saturday night!

I will have to second this..It was perfect weather and very well run race.. I got to see a lot of folks I have not seen for about 3 years.. I had a great meal with the Shaws Friday night and the highlight was meeting Ed Karelson (sp) Saturday morning and talking about boat design.. I think he said he is 82 and still building boats but now it takes about 2 years.. He is slowing down a little.. Now if I just knew what is wrong with my motors..

Also wanted to congratulate Daren for winning open hydro after struggling earlier in the day.. Is that two years in a row?

thanks!!

ya, my day started off with a couple "motor gremlins" (first time ever with that motor, of which was nothing major (carb), but got it fixed for the final 750 heat win and the OPEN hydro win............2nd yr in a row............

best thing was my CSR mystery driver (our SOA Commodore, Dwight) won CSR for the day with "smart driving"............and I made a bet with him that I did not think would be possible............we will let that go unknown for now.....LOL

and a GREAT party at Ron's after the race........good food and drinks and playing basketball with everyone until 3am............whew.....

best race and weather conditions we have had all year so far.......and the "race committee" did a fantastic job of clicking off all the heats in less than 6hrs!!!!

Well after two bad races I am awful sure I found the problem with my motor.. My first engine build and I did something real stupid and very simple to fix.. I am feeling really stupid right now.. But like I said thank you SOA for a lot of fun.. I am glad the BBQ was good.. I made it to Ritzville before I crapped out

A couple pictures I took as folks were rolling in Saturday morning

soo ime thinking out of all the d-mods only kenny coco had no problems all day??? or did jw"s run ok also???..

[daveracerdsh]

I was overserved

I also want to echo what other racers have said....what a great day of racing. 38 heats done in less then 6 hours...amazing. A shout out to Jim Nillson, Howard and Jan Shaw, Rick Sanstrom, Mark Mallory and the rest of the crew for a wonderfull day. Could not have been any more fun. And that in the end is why we go to these things I think. Silver Lake Everett used to have a reputation for being super rough etc....a few years ago the board decided to put in a triangle race course. Lemme tell ya....it is a BLAST to run on. Kinda hard to explain, but it seems that having three straights and turns sorta slows things down a little...boat speed wise. You are always setting up for a turn, which makes you in my humble opinion makes you think a little more. If the Whitney Point nationals race committee said they were going to run a triangle shaped course I would be the first person to endorse it. Also..I want to thank Ron and Shelly for a memorable after race party. I had intended to have a few adult beverages and go home..as I was asked to help with the HARM J project on Sunday. Lemme tell ya.....I was overserved at the bar that Ron built in his house. I looked up and and complained that I had 2 drinks in my hands....which is illegal in Washington. But no...I only had one drink. I was seeing double. That being said...I found a nice comfy couch to crash on...lol. Thanx again Mag clan. Davey
