Harrison Township
 

What body of water are we racing on in Harrison township? Saginaw Bay??

lake st clair,, saginaw bay is lake huron 100 miles north

is the race still a go....we need to make plans if so....been rumors from folks in MI that it might not be a go...

Can anyone verifie that the race is still going to get held for sure...

Thanks

heard the same thing, inquiring minds want to know

Eddie...congrats on your win in SIB....

You should contact Dean from Wahoo. I think he would have the most current information. Last I heard everything was all set, but check with him.

Thanks.....I figured he would give us a update on here...

Lets hear it Dean,let us know whats going on and who's going.I want to know who I am gonna have to beat.Got a little surprise for all the class 5 guys! Gino,does Ilmore make a 1075 yet?

No....they don't need to...once we get the gremlins out....you guys will probably want us to run in reverse....or make us pull 4 plugs to play fair....
Bring it...and along with were are those Siras guys with the KIP-TO-NITE...

For the first time...Jim was acutally having fun running the little VEE.....till we lost the RPM's again...
Little by little I'm getting that cat guy to come to the other side were we play in the tall grass...plus all that time he spends on the porch in the cats....I think he likes strecthing his legs out and running around...
Were on the verge of converting a Cat guy to a VEE guy...not to offen dose that happen...as they get older..they like those cats with the A/C blowing in there face all seat belt in....with there 2 escape hatches...
I think Jim is like a big dog riding in a car with his head out in the air and his tounge hangout wanting more...instead of riding in the back of the volvo wagon laying in the back with the A/C on....

Just messin with ya's.probably gonna stick with old reliable.The key to winning is finishing right?

I would not know...we can't even finish a race...

Rick and I put the race on the last two years and with it's success the locals wanted to put it on going forward. I am not sure of it's status at this point and this would be a question best asked of Smitty.

I am keeping my fingers crossed, hope to see you all here.

Talked to Smitty last night...he will know if its a go by today or tomorrow....

Guys if they put this together we all should make the best effert we can to do the race....I know it back to back from there to St Clair in a week....but every big show helps us for the following year...

Class 5 guys...if its a go...I will try to help out as much as I can if we can get 7 ot 8 boats there...since they will pay out 1st - 3rd...I will give the remaining boats in the class $200 cash to make the race...its not much...but maybe help out on food or gas...

Once we hear if its a go...we can figure out whos coming and see what we can do to get everyone there...

As of this morning, I am trying to secure class sponsors. Please don't take it off your schedules just yet.

We have the facility, permits and safety in place. Working on more $$$.

Thanks for all the work Dean.....

Dean once I get the go I am there to work on it!!!!

Man tighties....You know I cant miss out on a chance to beat on Ilmor AGAIN Right Dean?! :angry-smiley-038: :drink:


I'll be bringing out the phantom if the race is a go. Short drive for me so share my $200 however you like - longest traveled, etc. Great of you to offer.





BTW where's all the trash talking that has been oh so comical in prior years????

Good work Dean. I havent heard peep in regards to this race, wish you and rick were still running the show. Is the magazine being done again this year?

There will be no beating on a ILMOR in there back yard....Bring that phantom of the opra to the race...will put it right back were it belongs....into pleasure boat-ville.....LOL....look forward to see you guys...

Damn you mean I have to pull the coolers and empties out first???


Make sure you've got that purty little motor on kill :gfight:

She will be on kill phantom mode...maybe will put some silent exhusts on so we don't drain what little motor noise that thing of yours makes

Thanks, that is appreciated she is only 489.

Ok folks...Harrison is a go. Dean and company back on board. Thanks Guys. Smitty

Thanks Smitty......

Time to get the boat a ready....

Great news!

Will Evil Ed open up his shop for storage between weeks as in the past, It sure helps

Ed is very generous. I'm sure he will get Julie to post here soon.

Cool.....maybe we can finish a race....

Just spoke with Julie, she will put up a post soon. Everything is OK with Evil Ed to store your boats for the week between races. Julie will be posting about buying fuel and the cost...prepaid.

Harrison Twsp Is a Great Site! We Had a Blast up there! Glad to Hear it's a go! Sorry we are not Racing this year, but if you are, You Have Got to Go There! Good Luck!

Jr.

Guys. I am trying to find purse sponsors for each class at Harrison. If you know anyone that would like to sponsor your class in exchange for naming the class and lots of TV plugs please let me know.

Dean: Is there a place where we can get more info on Harrison. Working on travel plans and will be 1st time we are making it to Harrison. Thanks Doris

Thank you for stepping up again Dean. I have heard what you put into putting this race in in the past and it is truely above and beyond.

Thanks Rob. This time is going to be tough. Not a lot of time left, but we will get it done.

Best of luck to everyone this year !!!

Turn 4 is a B$TCH!

Left Turns? Ugh

Where does the flag planned to be dropped turn 4 or 5? 5 seems a bit late as I understand most viewing is from Beacon cove. Can 20 boats fit thru there???? :coolcowboy:

If you would get a boat to run you would know that turn 5 is just a small bend and the flag drops between 4 and 1. :lolhit:
