Good to hear,

Almost wish we could come back in a couple weeks and finish it up for anybody who wanted too, Heat 51....your on the clock!! Of course if we did that, then it would rain on the final night of the Fall Festival :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

We had a real good day testing Friday and once the rain let up the racing was good on Saturday. Had fun racing my 40 mono, got tangled up with Sammy in the first heat no points there, Pete Collingson won that one. Second heat I got the lead on everyone and won, after two heats I bet Pete had more points overall.

Everyone watching the first heat of Thunder boat wooed when two boats did a blow off together at the end of the backstrech, amazing they came back down running and finished the heat. It was me and Don Mckay, his cowls flew off and my boat hit hard enough to throw the driver out. I recovered quicker than Don and took over first place. I came back around and almost ran over the poor driver.

I live less than 3 miles from the lake. My weather station shows that we had 4.85 inches of rain since Saturday morning. Back in the early 80's when we decided to host our first fall race and we picked the third weekend in Sept, one of our members who was a farmer told us then not to pick that weekend because it usually rains. So far his predictions have been right about 70% of the time.

[BlueBlaster]

dang with a 70 % of always going to rain perhaps we should make the race a weekend earlier. cause its always nice before and after the weekend we try and race.

 

[Tim Strange]

I live one mile away from the lake and the rain never quit....maybe slowed to a drizzle for a bit here and there. Maybe we should try the 2nd week of Sept LOL.

Funny thing...I could have gone to Indy to watch the Steelers and Colts, but I was committed to racing this weekend. I traded 12 hours of my shift to do so. After getting rained out and jonesing for some racing I thought "Oh well I am off for Madison" ....Wellll...I have to work for the guy I traded with on that day!!!

Even more odd...when I got to the fire station there was another Lieutenant filling in for the Captain who called in sick. He wanted to ride in the back rather than be in charge...As soon as I got my gear on the truck lightening struck the radio tower next to the station and the power went out. Talk about bad omens! Shortly after there was a nasty car accident...and then a pretty bad house fire (possible meth lab)....Should have gone to Indy LOL
