SAGINAW BAY CLASSIC - MAY 21st, 2017

[Mike Betke]

The race will be held on the other side of the lake this year so we do not have any problems with people getting stuck. There will be signs on how to get over there. See everyone tomorrow

Dean called Rob and asked him to post on behalf of the club. Sounds like they are out there working hard to get everything together for tomorrow.

Thanks guys.

We will be racing from the SOUTH side of the pond tomorrow, so please enter the SOUTH Gate, rather than the main entrance. The South Gate is on the same road (Gleaner), but about 0.25 mile south of the Main Entrance Gate.

thanks for the heads-up, all.

Thank you to the Saginaw club for another great "Classic"! You even got Mother Nature to cooperate most of the day!

Thanks John

I had a fun day at the "Classic". It was good to see everyone again.

I don't know how Deano and Charles held off the rain, it must of been Racing Ralph's "NO RAIN DANCE" with the brown socks on that did it.

Lot's of hard work by the Saginaw club to set up on the opposite side of the pond so it wasn't muddy. Once again, Great Job!

To All Saginaw Boat Club Members,

Another great "Classic" with really good racing and a nice hot dog or two for lunch.

A good start to a competitive season of racing here in District # 2. Great Sport 40

and 1/8th Scale racing already, and it was just the start of a seven race season.

See you all hopefully in Burton, Michigan in a few weeks?

Thanks,

Mark Sholund

Thanks for the dogs, good to see everyone again................

Race Summary:

On behalf of the Saginaw Bay RC Boat Club, thank you for attending the 2017 Classic. Mother nature challenged, but failed against Racing Ralph and his brown socks(tom Kelly). We believe the race site worked well, nobody got stuck and the new clock worked flawless. We hope to see all agian next year.

Thumbs up on using the south side of the pond

I know I mentioned it on Sunday, but the little bit tighter parking was more than made up for by the lack of mud, and I think racing from that side is an easier to navigate course.
