It is cool to have a boat or boats near you when you're racing. We had the Wolfpack on our butts most of the way down. On the way back, the Corvette boat was on us until we had the mandatory fuel stop. They had made the stop on the way down.
At one point in the race, the red Mastercraft cut in front of us while I was footing. I made it through their wake, but they didn't fair too well with the BFN wake.

Sweet pics man...

Just once i want to run this race and actually get to race another team.. we are usually all alone .. just like a Sunday morning footing session..

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.

Hey that's the red Master CRAP!! that had a whopping top speed of about 38 mph.. ugh!

Still a great time though...

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

That would be a good idea!       I had a Great Time.

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.

I know a few guys from my lake I could call to see if they are interested.
Tim I'll call ya tonight when I get home from dinner.

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?

Tim
How many guys are on your team?
We might be running with only 4 guys on Burning Soles.

Stop and get some.. you could change your name from the Burnin' Soles to the Burnin' Bowls...

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

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

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.
