September 20 Stony Creek Sept. 24, 2006 Streak On The Creek!Okay, I decided today... Rocky Fork won't be my last race of the year... Stony Creek will be. On account this is it's first year and we need to have a successful turnout. So, c'mon! Let's go to Michigan and race!
Tues. 12:30pm. Sorry for the delayed post! We got lost coming home.
Now, if only mother nature had cooperated... this race site location has so much to offer.
We began our journey early Saturday morning. It was windy and pooring rain! Not until north of Louisville did the rain subside and become a drizzle. Sunday morning we woke up to sun! Then it quickly disappeared the closer we got to the park. For the most part Sunday was cloudy, drizzly, windy, and cold. We had a wind advisory which delayed the action till 1-2 pm. The 2.5 stock class didn't run till 3:30 or so. We were able to run our final around 5-5:30. Of the 7 "S-Class" boats, I got 4th. Congrats goes to 1st- Mike Monahan, 2nd- Doug Martin, 3rd- Mark Manos!
Huge thanks to the Park Admin., the Elk's Club, Marine Prop Riders, APBA Officials, and the Rescue/Fire Teams!
No, we didn't get lost on the way home. It was a leisurely Sunday drive home that overlapped into Monday. We stopped at a hotel... sat in a jacuzzi (thinking of everyone driving home of-course), then toured downtown Dayton and Cincinnati on Monday.
Posted... 144 pictures! Note: Every boat is shown!!! September 18 Rocky Fork 2006 Hillsboro, OH Thunder In The HillsI had a blast! This was my last race of the season and it was a memorable weekend. By far one of my favorite race courses - fast and smooth. A huge thanks goes to all the very nice folks that gave advice and help me throughout the weekend... Eli and Dean come to mind first.
I had the opportunity to drive a 5 litre this weekend. Wow! The E-888 Team, what a great group of guys! Mike, Pete, Neil, and Jacob. They made my weekend! I had so much fun driving that boat! So much faster than my 2.5 ltr stock!
And Dean, I'll definately take you up on that offer next year!
Enjoy the pics! See You Next Year! September 01 Celina, OhioAhhh, Celina... My head is still throbbing with pain!!! And, it's not because of the Pit Party! This was my first year at Celina so I didn't know what to expect. Decisions, decisions... setup in the back forty or setup near the cranes. It wasn't too difficult to decide on account there was only two of us. Turns out, so many people were nice to help. HUGE THANKS to EVERYBODY!!! Especially Rachel; this young woman helped out by keeping control of the boat while it was in the water and not to forget these guys... Team MPM Racing & Wright Bros Racing; they made sure I was buckled in tight before every race heat. Thank you Mark Manos and Dennis Wright for allowing me to test your spare props. All-in-all, the weekend was a blast and every minute of seat time only makes me better and more experienced. Hope to see everybody soon! And, I'll see you next year Celina!!! |
