I'll fill you in tonight. It's disappointing to me.


I figured two races with that many boats in each one. That's what was in Harrison. And in St Clair there were three races with that many in each. And those are farther north by a little. Just a three hour drive from this site.

Good Luck Ryan! thanks for the update!

[phragle]

Good to get the facts!

with all of your posts in the last few days on several sites, your not there??????????

[Wahoo 214]

Those are all nice boats, I wish they were is just 2 classes so there wouldn't be so many 1 or 2 boat classes. I hope the turnout doesn't taint the city for future events it is a great site and Lake Michigan deserves an offshore race.

[phragle]

it's 7:30 wheres the results???

[SHARKEY-IMAGES]

I want to see pics as well...

Just what is the latest status on taking pics at the SBI events ?

Are Professional Photographers welcome to come shoot the events with intent to sell and promote the events, or is a fee and a demand for the copyrights still being requested ?

Just curious, incase I am in the mood to come to New York.....

[SHARKEY-IMAGES]

If status quo, then it explains why no one has seen pics on this thread...

Just my guess.

I wish I had a good answer. The photogs I spoke with were antsy to say the least.

Simmons won if there was no breakout. They ran a sweet race.
