Hopefully Next year we will add the raffle and more prizes back into the mix.

Thanks For Your Efforts,

A pleasant surprise indeed. That was quite a haul for those guys. I think it was Mike's D-hydro that runs really quiet. That thing has a sound all it's own and was really singing. Congrats to Mike Betke for winning the Scale series. It's been a few years since his last series win. And I can't forget Rob Betke. Rob has won the last 4 Scale finals plus going to Hobart and winning as well. Good luck next week in Evansville. Thanks Joe Weibelhaus for keeping the scores all year. Thanks to Kevin Sheren for getting the A-hydro series going. I'm sure it will grow next year. As the season ends here in D-2, I'm already looking forward to next season. Thanks to all, It's been a fun year of racing.

See you all next year. It was a lot of fun this year. It was really nice to see such a good turn out for the race as we had a lot of issues with attendance at races thru the season. Let's keep it going for next season and see what we can do to promote some new people into the hobby during the off season.

We still have one more event for D2 this year. The record trials in Flint are coming up. Support Terry and the gang for their event. If you have never been to a record trial, it is something to see when the water is flat and somebody breaks the 100mph mark.

Always a good time at Spencer Park. Great turn-out this year, no more electric retrieve motors, best race conditions all year and a bunch of good guys to run the show. Doesn't get much better than that! Thanks again guys. Definitely be back again next year.

Ron

ps, And just for the record... I finished ahead of the Betke boy in .40 hydro. Oh ya!

Thanks Mike for fitting my 2 boats in. Nice to get some boats wet again. Best part was mingling with some good friends on a beautiful day. Maybe I'll get to more races next year.

thankfully the D2 Challenge was last weekend and not this weekend like it's historically been run, else we'd have been ducking an EF-1 tornado
