Is anyone planning on doing a Saturday fun run again this year? We have done it the last several years and it is nice to
see all the boats out running together. The last couple of years everyone met up on the west side of Burns Harbor and started
a run back towards MC around 11:30. This gets everyone back in time to hang out by the course and watch some of the
race boats practicing.

Waiting on cap and rotor. Also, my truck is absent (dent being pulled and paint retouched), so I'm really up a creek right now.

08-05-2012 07:02 PMThe Race was cancelled. Had one water rescue of a swimmer, another one missing or it was a false alarm, don't know which yet.
Anyway, too rough, no race today......
I really feel badly for the organizers and those who trailer their boats so far to be there. I guess there were 17 total race participants. I'll fill everyone in more as I get more info.Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

08-06-2012 08:04 AMTalking to some friends who were out yesterday in Lake Michigan out of Holland, said they had a blast. 5's to 6's biggest, kinda steep so an occasional hard hit.
I wonder why they didn't move the course out a bit farther and run? Has anyone talked with the organizers yet to see how the discussion went?Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

I'm not sure what happened, but I was kind of shocked that they cancelled the race. Does that even happen in the ocean? We did a great job of going to the races without actually GOING to the races! Got into MC at like 6:30pm, enjoyed a couple cocktails on the lake, slipped in and had fun on the docks all night. Walked part of the pits Saturday morning, then went out to the beach all day...didn't even see the practice! Thankfully, we left when we did...I was on the trailer LITERALLY 2 minutes before that front came through. I couldn't even drive through it...had to pull over and put the flashers on. It was NUTS.
