Carb

Thanks Mike, I have a rebuild kit already, but last night 100S ended up in the hospital with AFIB and then test showed 70% blockage so he will be undergoing angioplasty the week between grass lake and lake more, so I most likely might not have time to rebuild it as I am traveling between Michigan and Ohio and the equipment is in Ohio staged for Akron next weekend.

BTW, see why I love this sport all? It's like one big extended family!

Pitting:

We will be launching from the beach - a nice clean area that is only for Stock/J Outboards, giving a lot of exposure to spectators! Make sure to adhere to all risk management rules, as we are pitting inside of the Restricted Area.

AXH rig

Please PM me if you are coming and want to run AXH, as my J driver is at a baseball tournament and the boat will be on display at the MHRA booth unless we find a driver to put in it. I ate too many cheeseburgers for lunch and doubt I could get it to plane out or I would be in it.

Accommodations

Does anyone know of hotels in the area?

Mike

[Hal 212M]

There is a Comfort Inn: (800) 992-2694, 7076 Highland Rd., Waterford, MI 48327. I haven't stayed there and I think the rooms are about $120 a night. It is about 2 miles from the pits. There is also a Hampton Inn -Commerce: (248) 624-8100, 169 Loop Rd., Novi, MI. They are about 10 miles from the pits. It is very nice there and if you tell them you are with Michigan International Sales you should be able to get a rate of $95.

302ssh

We have had two more 302SSH motors ordered, and I think are a few weeks away from a third.

I am confident we will have elims. in this class next year.

Thanks for all your work on it Dave.

AX and 302SSH are the only classes we advocate to the new name racers from racer school.
