Bartender, I'll have whatever he's drinking....and make it a double....

Yes but it makes Matt's point. The people that came, with maybe the exception of some knowledgeable fans, had a great time. Besides the racing there were also other things happening such as the stunt plane with a wing Walker. Racing is supposed to be back next year, hope so.

Pulled out at the last minute ??? More like they needed to pay their VIG if they want to keep coming to bigger events.LOL

For years fans lined the shores for unlimited boats .( miss Madison miss bud etc.)
they ran 4 to 8 boats per event several years .
If the town of Dunkirk was happy ,that's a good thing .
