Summary Sheet
Entry Blank

[PETEG]

The road to the pits area will not be available from 6AM on Friday until 1PM on Friday. If you arrive during these hours, plan on waiting along Lake Drive until I can direct you toward the pit area

[PETEG]

First DePue is history, with several side by side great heats. It was a terrific program. Winona is next. Great racing in the Hiawatha Valley of Minnesota. Tow money will be paid determined by the number of trailers and the miles traveled. Sign up now on the USTS website so we know who is coming. Need login info?? Contact the webmaster from the USTS site. I need your support in this potentially strong market area.

[PETEG]

I just viewed the USTS website to list the registrants for Winona, and I need more participants. Go to USTS.ORG and sign up now. Winona is waiting for us. Tow money will be paid, based on the USTS formula. This is the best race site around, along with all the other activities sponsored by Steamboat Days. Look at the Steamboat Days link from the USTS website to see all the great entertainment in Winona.

[PETEG]

I am looking at USTS pre registration and I need more capsule 500s and TOP HYDROs and I need more 350H boats. Go to USTS.ORG and register now

[Mike Schmidt]

Radio on the Internet

Hey Pete or Mark

I saw on the U.S. Title series web site where a local radio station , KAGE Country 1380 AM is broadcasting the races this weekend. Any change they stream on the Internet so us unfortunate ones who could not make the race can listen on our computers?
