As soon as the green flag dropped, we smelled fuel, even with an open boat and at race speeds with our helmets on. Split a fuel fitting that was spraying out a pretty steady stream. Figured it was best to shut down everything to race another day.Smitty, Augie, OPA, Mark Walters, the GLOPRA staff all put on a first-class event. Mentor Harbor's facilities have recently been updated, and the MHYC people took great care of us. Mark, your Dad would be proud of what you've done with this one.
Thanks everyone, and see ya in St. Clair!

Re: Mentor Reports
I saw the bottom of the Bat Boat a few times. Looked like a wild ride. Once thought you guys were at a 90* side angle 
You guys have big ones!
SKramer's dad: I didn't see your post until today. Thanks for the offer. We cruised by the Zoo Saturday evening around 7pm. Didn't see anyone around or didn't go past the bridge.
Checked out the boats in the pits from the water and spoke to the PaPa Dukes. Nice to meet ya guys.
Great event! Congrats to all.
Funny how an hour after the race, the sun came out and the lake went flat.
Erie is.... well erie

I'll have pics later once I get them developed. I didn't want to take a digital cam up in the chopper in case I had to leave it behind rather quickly. I took 54 shots.
