Brighton MI Race

[meanred]

This is a brand new race site in a Michigan State Park that has no houses on it and it is a no wake lake we are lucky to get in. I would hope that we can have a great turn out here for our first time out.

can you give me a hint on the course size? short, long, tight or wide... avg. water conditions?

Also... correct me if I'm wrong, but in your directions it mentions turning on "Beaver Rd." ... Isn't that supposed to be "Bauer Rd."?

Wow this race is pretty close to me. I can't make it this year, but hopefully it goes well and I can go next year! (Funds are drained due to wedding )

im pretty sure, not 100% but i think most of the time it is fairly smooth, very little chop.

The race couse will be a Tri-Oval a bit larger than 3/4 mile. The lake sits down in a bowl type sitting the wind does not have much effect on. I live 4 1/2 miles from the race site and have been watching it all summer and I have not seen it one time where it would not be good racing water. There have been many times that I have looked out my back door at my lake and it was white capping and drove over to the park and great racing water there. The lake is 15-50ft deep.
