Well with the successful Thunder at Lake Springfield behind us, we both look back, and forward this week. July is one of the harrowing months of the season for the USTS and it its drivers and crews. Lots of activity, travel, racing, partying, engine and boat repair with 3 races in a 5 week time frame of absolute head down and paying attention to detail. With the rain bearing down on us at Springfield, we made a decision, lead by Todd Brinkman, President of the Title Series, to go to a run it all on Saturday to get everyone on the water, and that is exactly what happened. My thanks to our Title Series Crew for the hard and coordinated work to allow for the success of the race.
Now we turn our attention to Constantine, Mi with the Constantine American Legion and Thirlby Automotive as a long time sponsors and the USTS Nationals at Depue with our great Sponsor, The Depue Men's Club, as many other players will join up with us for the two week speed run. Don't forget to get online and pre-register for both races as it is easy, convenient, and will get you on the water quicker when it is time to test. I know that Sue and Denise appreciate those of you who are consistent users of the online registration.
As I thought about Springfield and what I saw there in the Top Hydro category, I got pretty excited as we had 7 of the capsules there and we know of at least 5 other drivers who are committed to Depue, so that should be one heck of a Sunday at the Nationals. In the 500R we had 11 hit the starting line and there are additional entries to come for Constantine and Depue, is a 5 heat format due here???? JJ Walls will be at the wheel of one of those 500R as B&B driver has a new toy, a GRM 2 cylinder 500 to play with, so he and Tim Small will be on the run with the 4 cylinder boys out there.
Remember for Depue, to check with Big Pal, Paul Bosnich on parking trailers before you do to ensure an orderly process for the pit area. We understand that Depue has had a good amount of rain and the lake is up and the dam has already been dropped into place to hold the water level now, with additional pumping for more water in the lake. We surely are appreciative of the hard work of The Men's Club, the City with Mayor Bryant, and a myriad of volunteer's to ensure that we can race each year.
We look forward to great racing in each venue and look forward to seeing you there.
