Mark,
spoke with Alan a few weeks ago, he issued #503 to us.
I do have one question, with the possibility of 20 boats taking the start, dont we need some kind of lane assignments, I vote for the guy with the smallest engine gets the pole position every race, oops that would be me

Super Heat, Show us some pics of your boat. I have the same 29 Kryptonite I believe. What power are you going to run? Have you raced before? If you need any help PM me.

Trent makes a good point. Any ideas on the start? 20 boats squeezing into a 10 foot hole will only lead to fiber glass repair.
And also are we all ok with its racing if we hit? There has never been any rules who is to blame and you owe me because it was your fault type of thing. It is very passable that there may be some bumping happening. I am in no way saying go rub its OK but with so many boats it could happen. I would like to make sure we are all on the same page. Its not uncommon to be shooting for the first couple of pins and your boat is bouncing a good 5' to the right and 5' to the left and $hit can happen quick. I have been hit before and yes it sucks and yes it cost me money but in my opinion that was part of the game. Are you guys OK with this?

Heater, glad we could help you catch the fever - I warned you it was very addicting. You gonna make Havasu? We left the stickers on one side in case you decide to race double duty one these events - the new motors worked out nicely, and added two new boats to our fleet this year.
