Where are you guys staying? We're staying in one of the cabins. We plan on getting into Grand Rapids around 7:30. We will probably drop the boat at the campground, then head to Rick's. |

Hey guys just a heads up.. our County Fair kicks off Friday, so if anyone is coming up St. Rt. 108 it's gonna be a zoo.. the town will be busy. If your coming down st. rt. 110 into Napoleon from Grand Rapids, the Perry St. Bridge (the main bridge thru Napoleon) will be packed to the gills.. so it would be best if you crossed at the 6 bridge, or the 109 bridge and brought st. rt. 24 into the north side of town. Exit at the St. Rt 108 exit come south on 108/Scott St.
The Fair grounds is a mile south of downtown on St. Rt. 108 Also, Friday night is the Diesel Stock truck pulls.. Not sure if Tim is still into the Duramax stuff.. but the local boys will be pulling their trucks. Just a side note. |

Thanks for the heads up. We'll be dropping in from the north to GRap, drop off the boat, and cross at the 109 bridge (I think). Where do you live? How stocked is your beer fridge?
One of my guys works on the GM diesel program (cold testing) and drives a big freakin Duramax. Problem is, he's not allowed to tow. Too bad, he could have towed our second boat. |

Just a visual.. Steve.. I know he does we talked about it at Lockwood.. We're a bunch of farm boys down here so beers flow at the fairground infield for all the events.. I'll be working on a tractor, cleaning up the track after each pull otherwise, we would pregame at my place.. Let me know if you guys need or want any other direction |

Thanks for the maps. But I can't believe you're showing everyone where your hippy lettuce is stashed.

If you don't fall, you're not trying hard enough.

Steve,
One of our guys cut his leg and the doc told him to stay out of the water for a week so we are down to 3 guys right now including 86BFN. I'm trying to get another guy right now.... if you guys want to combine two boats into one or something....that might be the best thing. I guess we can figure it out tommorow evening. Tim |

Tim
As of right now, we have 9 guys going; 4 in my BFN and 5 in the Malibu open bow. If for some reason that number goes down, combining our teams could be an option. 6 guys in a BFN would be tight, 5 is optimum. If you need a footer, I'm sure there will be extras at the race. Are you using Steve's 86? |

Rolling out of here in three hours. Stopping in Maumee for some beer that we can't get in Michigan (21st Ammendment's Hell or High Watermelon, and Back in Black). We'll see you guys at Rick's around 8:30. I would say look for the guy with the Nautique gear, but considering half the teams are running Nautiques..oops..Correct Crafts, that might be tough. I'll be the guy in the Made In Detroit shirt.

BTW, we're going to stick a GoPro camera on the bow of the boat to video the start. I hope to upload it next week.

Man, I'm too old for this. As the night goes on, my body is stiffening up. Hopefully my wife will help me out.
That was a freakin' great time. Next year, CCFan will be well represented by us with a raffle prize and sponsorship. This race is turning into the best race in the country. Thanks to Bmac and his sexy wife Cara

Looked like one heck of a time. Save Kevin Klosterman's photos on Facebook. Looked like a great turnout and pretty decent weather/water.

Nice pics Steve. That was a great time.
We took 8th out of 13 teams with a time of 1 hour and 17 minutes. Our other team couldn't finish because one of their footers hit some debris and sliced his foot. Ended up with 7 stitches. The winning team ran the 38 miles in 52 minutes. Their first footer did the entire 19 mile first leg, at 47mph. It's the first time I've been in a race that Top Gun did not win. They were second at 55 minutes. |

With only 3 footer (and all rookies) I think we did well. I'll be in better shape next year now that I know what its all about.
I have more pictures I will post when I get time....
Also Mike just had knee surgery two week ago.
