USTS Lake Wales Race

Bump to the top

[John Howe]

I`m coming up from Miami to watch the race cuzz I enjoyed it so much last year! I have some friends that live in nearby St. Petersburg and they might be coming too. I understand that it`s free to watch, but how much for spectator pit passes? They have a 9 year old son and they are wondering if he would be allowed in the pits with them.

[Kristi Ellison]

John

Last year we restricted the hot pits from spectators due to the launching area being so tight. We set up a viewing area for the teams and their families and will likely do that again this year. You friends son is welcome around the trailers and any viewing areas...they will have to sign a release for him to get pit pass. Any problems come find me...Glad your coming back it should be bigger this year!!

[John Howe]

Now that`s whatcha call a swift reply! Mucho gracias. Kristi!


A coupla random pics from last year.

Thanks Mark,...hope to meet you there! Your boat is the one with...the motor..and propeller...right? Umm...do you know if Bill H. will accept I.O.U.`s?

[John Howe]

Hmmm.... I just checked the weather forecast for the weekend...could get difficult. The race committee might have to sacrifice a virgin to appease the Gods.

Joey and I will be heading down early Saturday morning. We will be bringing the K Pro rig and hope to get there in time to register. Any luck locating tent sites?
