We actually had a dome installed over the lake since you were there last, so no worries.

Seriously, will be good to have you again and looking forward to seeing one of those super fast FE hydros of yours!

Terry and Mike,

Looking good on the water under the Dome.

I hope the weather is good for us in 7 days.

I may have something real close to try and run

at one of those records.

Thanks For Sharing,

Mark Sholund

Mark and Mike have added another 3' to our driver's stand putting the base some 8' up.

That plus balloons for buoys make for great oval trials too!

Less than a week to go...

Terry,

Count me in for some runs with the 1/8th scale. Mark has me set-up with more wheels and I have done some home work in the engine compartment.

See you Saturday!!!

Great looking site. I am thinking of building a portable drivers stand as well. Some kids set ours on fire and it burned to the ground.

Good luck guys.

Winds have been gusting in the area all weekend. Probably not going very well. I might take a drive over a little later.
