Just back from Norwood, NY, only an hours drive for me
Beautiful weekend but we got blown out fri-sat & sun.
SW winds, not that stiff, but as there is a one mile fetch , it gets lumpy. The Keegans and a few others got some testing in during the evening when it got calm.
Gerald/Joe Pemberton, thru their shop and 'Parts Plus', put up $1000 for a CSR marathon
Only six entered, Runne won, coming from behind, Ronny Waterson was 3rd,
A LeMans beach type start, straight out to turn 2, then ten[?] laps with one mandatory fuel stop.
Two man pit crew, with Kevlars for safety.
Important to come in and get out ahead of other boats, for clear water
Most shared their winnings with pit crew, so Spencer Utman was pleased with his $20 share of a 4th place finish.
So lots of fun, but frustrating for those not in the water. Some very disappointed J drivers, one little one in the Halsey camp I noticed not happy, and hard to explain to them why we were not running.
Good turnout, particularly from Reg 1, lots of Cs, in fact there would have been elims in CSH
Poor luck for the FLRC
So now on to Waterford

"....they could run us big boats, the D's[7] and FE's(3)..."
and one appeared quick in testing. So other than those that drove a long way, not a totally lost weekend
