Other issues...

Moving the up north races, like in Michigan, from July to January might be a little hard on the propellors.....

And moving events to Florida in January, from July, would put them in a timeframe where all hotels and restuarants are already around 90% capacity.

I sure don't see anyway to make the switch possible.

Sarasota is the only Race I've been to that is brutally hot...I haven't attended St. Pete for the last two Years..and We were in a Boat the Year before that...(the only place to View it besides a Chopper) and it was

decent.

I was talking with Lucy at St Pete and she is hoping the Sarasota race can be moved to a different time than July 4.

She was thinking something like October.

It actually may work, that is before the winter old northerner season starts, and there are currently no race events scheduled in October.

We will retouch on it at Clearwater.....
