Thank you to the Saginaw crew for putting on a great race. glad we weren't digging ourselves out of the mud this year

 

[Tom Kelly]

Great job Saginaw club! Charles, Dean and the gang put on a fun and well run race as usual, got us out by 3:30 or so. Congratulations to Rob Betke on his Scale high points championship, and Andrew Capaldi, our District 2 Scale " Rookie of the Year".

Got to spend time with the boat buddies and also got some laps in on the new scale. Teddy didn't kill anybody with his twin, and got a steak dinner with friends on the way home.... a good day.

IMPBA members are the Best

Reasons:

Kevin & Shannon Sheren brought hotdogs and all the condiments for the race and then donated back to the club. Donated 4 gallons of Redmax for the raffle box

Mike Ball won the 50/50 raffle of $72, kept $20 for dinner and donated the rest back to the club. thank you mike

Mark Sholund donated prop certificates for free props for the winners of 1st place winners of A & B Hydro class.

Joe Wiebelhaus helped offered his knowledge several times with the scale scoring and corner judging. Its tougher than it looks with the rules 1/8 scale has.

Garl Clement shortened his scale boat about 3 inches into the north bank of the pond. Never stopped smiling and helped me twice with pitman duties - Great job

John Benadvides from Chicago, thank you for coming. Nice Job squeezing out the first place in gas rigger over a tough twin of Teddy Dudley.

Dave Murany for taking my challenge of taking a lap around the island with your B-Hydro, thanks for bring the 80 rigger to complete my class requirement

Andrew Capaldi for rookie of the year, Great job in scale.

To the Saginaw club for putting on a very well run event once again.

Mike Ball for winning the 50/50 raffle and giving most of it back to the host club.

Andrew for the rookie of the year, nice job.

Rob for winning Scale championship this year. Nice new truck by the way.

Kevin and Shannon Sheren for preparing lunch for all of us. And for doing

such A GREAT JOB once again with our 12-Hydro series. We did discuss a

Possible 21-Hydro series for next year in our district # 2. I would like to here more

feedback on this one if possible within our district? I am thinking about heading up

the series and I would like to here what our dozen or so 21-Hydro pilots are thinking?

Wondering if a small donation to help with gifts would be good or not? Lots to think

about.

Thanks Again Everyone In Our District For Your Support All Year,

Mark Sholund

I must say, John Benavidas , has raced more than anyone this year. Glad to see him get a win.

The day before Saginaw, I had breakfast with John at at Joey's Diner in St. Anne before the Pumpkin Regatta in D4 at 5am. Raced all day and then drove 6 or so hrs to Saginaw. That is a boat racer!!

From Oshkosh, Mendota, Somers, Chicago, Hobart to Saginaw to parts unknown, John was there! Great racing with him.

Duke,

I agree John Benavidas is THE MAN. He sure helped me out this past weekend

with some critical JAE-21 booms and one left sponson. He would not even take

anything for the help. I need his address please so I can return the favor to him.

Thanks,

Mark Sholund
