Saturday 7/25 - Last Race Day of the Spring Series
This last race day of the Spring Series turned out to be very much like the whole series, good weather and close competition. Going into this last race day there was a total of five points difference between 1st and 4th, without discards. The winds started out looking iffy as it was light to non-existent. We were all thinking out loud that this would be a six heat day. Not a good way to finish such a close season. But, as the morning progressed the winds filled in. The frustration was that it changed direction constantly, which caused RD Bob Kalman great frustration. Especially when he was challenged on his course selection right after it was posted and the direction had changed. Even so, all the courses selected turned out be challenging. But not for Dave who finished the day with 8 1st place finishes. Very strong finish to a winning season. Well done Dave.
Note: after the racing next Saturday 8/8, which is the first race day of the Fall Series, we will be having our Spring Series awards picnic. It is being held at Mike & Nita’s, Gather 3:00, Grill 4:00 and Eat 5:00. Please see the email that Mike sent out earlier this week. Please RSVP to znita@hotmail.com! Even if you do not plan to or cannot attend.
