Well it was a good time, we took an overall 2nd in PS!. :good Would have been nice if we had more time to test, they only gave us one session, and with the drastic change in climate it was hard to guess on the tune up but we we're close!. :good Only had one incident, an SS rolled over on the start but no one got hurt. The weirdest thing was to get used to being craned in and out instead of using a launch ramp!. :rolleyes I'll post a few pics later, didn't have time to take much though!.. :(

Actually they had 2 cranes, but they still had to do some maneuvering. Good thing there wasen't too many boats other wise there would have been a problem!..They haven't raced there in over 20 years and with all new people they have a lot to learn but the event went without a hitch. I guess they are going to put in launch ramps in this winter!. It is a good facility though, just too damn far to drive for just a weekend!. :laugh

That is one big ass lake but shallow, most of it is but 5ft deep!..I don't like that, if you flip the back end of the boat ends up on the ground and beats up the hardware..The guy that flipped had a capsule and they had to roll the boat over to get him out because the exit was on the ground, not cool!.. :( We got blown out on Saturday that's why the chop, Sunday was perfect!. :good

Yeah once a year is enough as far as I'm concerend. :laugh

Actually the water was pretty good for us but it was a little hairy for the hydro guys, there was a cross wind and that is good for a blow over so they called it. We tried to talk them into letting us run but they wouldn't go for it!..Now Sunday morning it was like a mirror out there and that sucks but around 10:00 a slight breeze came up and made the water perfect. We ran Saturday's heats back to back in the morning and Sunday's deal in the afternoon, it went off flawless and it was all done by 3:00pm!.... :good Then the dreaded part, time to pack up and leave, that sucks!. :(  :laugh
