[daveracerdsh]

What is the course like? Would love to come back and play with you boys.....

[pops67g]

The course is about 3/8 of a mile. The D boats do a 3 lap heat in around 60 seconds. We run 6 boat maximums per heat as there is hardly room for more. Think the start is important here?

[daveracerdsh]

you guys would kick my butt there......

[53-W]

I am in contact with the oshkosh convention and visitor bureau. They will get us some reduced priced rooms somewhere is oshkosh and are very interested in helping us grow this race back into a sponcered festival type event for next year. I won't hear back until later on in the week on which hotel and how much.

We must use this hotel when I post it, even if it means canceling your room somewhere else!!!!! Pass this on to freinds, family and pit crew coming to this race that need a room!!

When your in oshkosh for the race weekend tell the people you are with the Boat Races when you spend your money in the city!!!!! This will only help the future of this race!

Thanks to Kip for sending me the paperwork he uses for his races for sponcership and press releases. We altered it for oshkosh race and it helped out alot for this year race, but will hopefully make a huge difference for next years race!!!!!

The course is about 3/8 of a mile. The D boats do a 3 lap heat in around 60 seconds. ***

I don't think it's that big.

[18W]

It measured 4/10th around the shoreline on my snowmobile.

[Fast Freddie]

Kip Trump
Ralph Emmill

---Got any more?---

Yep. ME!

[thepiranhabros]

It measured 4/10th around the shoreline on my snowmobile.

What kind of sorcery is this? I can't wait to see this place!

[Big Don]

Donny measured buoy to buoy with the GPS last year and it was I think 3.3 tenths of a mile and that was after Joey Z tweaked it and made it perfect moving the last pin in to give us more room on the start. Donny will probably remember what it was exactly.

I think last years course was the biggest course we have ever had there.

[BP125V]

Joey made it too big, I had to change props.:rolleyes:

Mackey - no looking at the course until I get there with a camera, I want to record the look on your face.

[D_Allen_III]

0.34 of a mile in lane 1 all the way around the course.

I was going to propose we had a 1 mile/3 Lap record to our record course selection but it probably won't fly after we tried the 1/2 mile and that didn't work.

Oh and Dad, 3.3 tenths would be better said as 33 hundreths. First day back to school, I'm back in the mood.

[thepiranhabros]

Oh and Dad, 3.3 tenths would be better said as 33 hundreths. First day back to school, I'm back in the mood.

I was going to let him slide on this one. Glad you called him out!:D

[thepiranhabros]

Mackey - no looking at the course until I get there with a camera, I want to record the look on your face.

You keep telling me this. Maybe you'd better have an AED or at least some oxygen along with that camera!

[Big Don]

Cut me some slack…your right that does not make any sense how I posted it. BTW… I was trying to sneak on HR while at work, it’s not like a work for some University.

[thepiranhabros]

Hey, man! I was cutting you some slack. (I am the original 24-Year Slacker, after all.) Donny called you out. Not me!

And I have to be on the Interwebs at work. It's part of my job. (I know... somebody has to do it.)

BTW...
*you're

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!:D

[Richard Hearn]

Considering Oshkosh over Lock Haven. Will there be enough JSH, JSR, AXH and AXR with Kankakee the same weekend (also running JH and AXH)? Pavlick -- which race are you attending?

[pav225]

Richard,
Planning on just racing JH at Kankakee. Oshkosh is a blast and Kankakee is pretty awesome...I think the spectators like watching the JHs just as much as the Champ boats!

The boys are trying to talk us into Oshkosh, so I will let you know if we decide to go.

Pretty sure for Oshkosh you will have the following kids.
JH: Michelle Snyder, Karsten Pavlick, Trevor Schmitzer, Erin Pittman, Dakotah Kroll, and I think Collin Smith.
JR: may be a bit light.
AXH: Holden Mackey, Michael Shep, Erin Pittman, Michelle Snyder, and maybe Jace Scheffler.

Shep has tentative boat count for Kankakee.

- Mike

[Richard Hearn]

Mike -- Bring the boys to Oshkosh Sat/Sun and I'll go over to Kankakee w/ you Monday to race JH and AXH (if they run them). Definitely leaning that way as I'd love to get back to Kankakee to see the tunnel boats run. Leaning harder this way...........

[53-W]

Yes we will have J classes!!!
53w

[schmitzer]

Trevor the short course animal will be there. Little Alex is going be the flag monster good luck with that one. Dad CH And CR. Can't wait for Friday. chop chop weeds go away. :boat:

[53-W]

[Sheila Schaub]

[jevans47w]

1:59 and 2:01 minute heat times for JH winner. And this was a strechhhhhed out Oshkosh course. Awesome. Time to hit Fast Fred's for some eats n treats..........Pitter-Patter!

[brian]

[D_Allen_III]

Off of memory. Billy H. won CSH and 20SSH, Anderson won ASR, Eddy BSR, Jared "the beast" Pavlick won JH and JR, Hanson ASH, Eddy BSH?, Walburn DSH? and Burdick CSR, from what I can remember of today's racing. Erin Pittman won her first race in AXSH today. Mark Kroll won his first race in 20SSH yesterday.

[Brian10s]

Anyone remember how many entries there were?
Thanks

My favorite...

[PittmanRacing]

Super fun weekend. Well worth the trip and a wonderful dinner at the Hauenstein's.

[champhotrod]

My favorite...
I built that boat originally in 1980. Its been rebuilt a couple times since.
Was good to see it out front again on Saturday.

Cooper

[pav225]

Super cool boat!

[CSH12M]

That is priceless!!

[Team B&H]

Bill got in a couple laps of testing while there was a brief delay before BSH waiting for Ed H to fix his carb. He said that was essential because the boat was so different than what he's used to- both in handling and the low cockpit sides. But he adapted pretty well and liked it enough to run it again on Sunday.

[Matt Dagostino]

My favorite...

And i thought i was big for 'our' BSH. Bill looks like he is D-Hydro size now!!

Maybe Sam needs to jig a couple up for me and Bill!!!:wallbang:
