Wakefield 2015 Updates

That's the plan but we want to see what that does to the schedule. Need to be careful because every engine runs in multiple classes and it's a nightmare trying to keep reasonable time for engine and boat changes these days.

the DSH/DSR/750H/750R/850h/850R in 45mins testing session is going to be very challenging.................especially for guys like me that are racing ALL of those classes.............will there be a chance of another test session during the week prior to any of those classes racing?

At both Moses Lake nationals, 07 and last year....we had open testing. You signed up, and when name was called you went out. If memory serves me correct we only allowed 6 or 7 rigs on the water at once. It went very well. Seperate testing time for each class gets in my opinion to be a pain....if something happens and you can't make it out for your test session you are essentially screwed. I would be more then happy to assist with open testing program if you decide to go that route.....Dave Oh ya, we of course had seperate testing times set aside for the J classes....one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Daren, Don't break anything and everything will be good. You have an open hydro and runabout later also.

Dave...I thought you guys didn't care how we did things in Region 7?

[mercguy]

break stuff..........of course, its MOD!! Will find a way to make it all work..............thanks Don.....guess I better bring extra powerheads...

[Racerkyle20]

No Don that's just Pat and I.....hahahahaha

[Hydro doc]

Need real estate, bring 8 boats and more motors than you will find at a marina.

[Smiley]

Can somebody post the tentative racing schedule? The one on facebook is unreadable on my computer. Smiley

[Big Don]

Post # 14 has the schedule on it.

[Big Don]

Daren, Dave and anyone else that cares... we are going to change the testing schedule slightly. It will be a combination of what is posted on post 14 (times will be shortened slightly, and 3 hours of open testing allowing 12/14 boats at a time. We will either have you sign up for that testing or we may just have you line up in the water and it will be on your honor. No one is going to let you cut in front of them so we think it will manage itself. The testing director will just tell you went to go. I just got back from being out of town so we will put something together to make everyone happy. Well everyone other than Reed.

Looks like we're the last of five trailers to leave the NW; by our count, 36 boats are coming out of Region 10. We may travel well, but let's take a step off our two left feet and bring home some hardware this year. See you in Wakefield!

Thanx Don. I know what a pain in the behind being a race director is........everybody wants something and you can't make them all happy......
