grass lkae

sign me up for the marathon!

[jeff55v]

Maybe

A big Maybe attend for me.
I hope this is the right place to ask this: How does the Marathon work there? LeMans start? Everyone start together? Or will we be starting in separate waves for each class? From what I read, all marathon classes will race at the same time/ same course. Will it be a certain number of laps around the separate marathon course? How much distance would be covered racing the marathon?
I've never investigated this race before. So please forgive my ignorance.
Thanks, Jeff.

Jeff
The marathon is a lamans start one day and a clock start the other day. We have not decided which day will be which. All boats will start at the same time for all classes. So it is always fun watching the A's start with the D's. The marathon is aprox. 20 min there is not set # of laps. So as you can amagine the D's will run more laps then the A's. The Grass Lake Marathon is generaly a calmer water marathon with only one right hand turn. it runs last on Saturday and first on Sunday.
And remeber the only stupid question is the on not asked.

[BP125V]

Jeff?

are we going to see you at either Oshkosh or Pleasant Prairie? hope so.
