Mark and Jim spun out and flipped at the Cambridge Md race last weekend in Tom Cat.

Both were injured but should recover

Thanks in advance!

Glen..closest marina is at Fairview Beach Va. I have never lanched their but their a different opinions about how good the ramp is. We use Goose Bay Marina. Its a 14 mile run one way to Fairview Beach down the Potomac. As far as the run its not from a standing start. You can get aleast 3/4 of a mile run at the gun maybe farther, also you can run as many times as you like. Hope this helps.

James you joke, but I know you have been very active behind the scenes helping their recovery. Mark and Jim are lucky to have a friend like you around. Now lock that wheel chair down and let the drool fly, hope to see you guys at the Radar Run.
