umpba 1/4 mile drag race Fairmont MN Aug 13
The fairmont race is coming up on the 13th so all you that missed Omaha had better bring your A game. This will be the last race of the season so if you have something to prove put up or shut up

Race starts at 12:00 at gomsrude park.
Registration will also bee held at the park Friday night from 6-8ish. Travis will be grillin so come hungry and bring some beverages. Most of us will be staying at the locally famous hotel known for it's view of the pool with no water in it. "it's nice because we have rooms on the backside so we can sit outside and bench race" bring a lawn chair.

We will have the race course in by 8:30-9 so testing will be available. If your unsure of what class you belong in we can test and find out sat morning but you need to be out there early because 10:30 sat morning I will be making the brackets to have them done in time for the race.

We welcome any new racers and will have someone to race from the 65 MPH class up to 115. If there is anyone faster than that Troy can change his setup and run over 120.

We are out to have fun bottom line if you are new or have been with the club for a while if you need anything someone will be willing to help out

How a race is ran:
* Boats are set up into the five classes shown above. Anything over 2mph over your class is an
automatic disqualification.
* All types of watercraft are encouraged to participate. Therefore special classes may be added
to the race if needed in an effort not to eliminate anyone (i.e. jet skis, family runabouts).
* Boats are paired up randomly for each class in double elimination heats.
* Race pairs are lined up at a starting line (course set up with anchored buoys).
* Race heats are official after starting flag is raised by starter.
* During a race heat, boats must not cross the finish line on the "wrong" side of the center line buoy.
Boat "A" must not enter boat "B's" lane, or visa versa or go outside any marked lanes doing so
will result in a loss for that heat.
* The "Black Flag" will be used to clearly identify any racer that does not comply with the rules and regulations
set forth by the UMPBA. You will get one warning, the next infraction and your done racing.
* Finish line video equipment can be used to help the finish line judge determine the winner of each race heat.
* All decisions made by the starting/finish line judge are final.
* The Awards ceremony will be after the race course has been picked up and brought in, we would like as
much participation as possible as the winner's deserve the recognition.

Oh shoot! I thought it was the following weekend. I am not gonna be able to make it as it's my sons 2nd birthday party (and big mud run in the back yard) and family would kill me if I didn't show up for my kids own birthday party. LOL

I was so looking forward to this too. ***bangs head on steering wheel*** LOL
