*Trying to get the Pierce County Parks and the residents who live on Lake Spanaway to allow a two-day race in September (Sept. 6-7). If it does become a two-day race, there won’t be a race there on May 18. But if they can’t make it a two-day race, we’ll race there May 18 and Sept 7.

So for those of you who have been reading, and back-reading, the race at Lawrence is the one where we flipped the boat this year, blew a motor the year before, and put a hole in the bottom the year before that. Sooooo I wonder what can happen next time? Maybe because we just gradually got worse, and finished with a whopper, next year we might break the speed record for our class? Only if we have the new boat going, which at this point doesn't look like that is going to happen unless we have a big jump in help. I wonder if we could work out something with the high school for credits? Hmmm anyone know the answer to that? I guess that would mean that we would have to work on it during the day, and have a bunch a high school-ers at our shop....that could be interesting. Probably not the best of idea's. Well, anyways, one of these days I will get some pics of the newbie up on here. I see by looking at the stats on this page that we seem to have a large amount of daily traffic, which is way cool! But it also makes me realize that I need to keep it updated more than I had planned on for the winter. So we are now looking at a name for the new boat. It will have the same number, unless for some strange reason we decide to keep and race both. (glutton for punishment, I know) But it has come up in more that one conversation. Scary, Scary! If that happens, then we really do need more help on the boat(s). Not just in the shop, but during the summer for races. Ok, back to the name. Start posting me idea's for a name, or sending them in to our email K? goneracin@rockisland.com   Ok, gonna run now. Have to clean my house since I am home for once! Ta Ta!
