Ted Walkup, Joint Race Committee
Ahoy and Happy New Year to all Thursday night racers. This year Thursday night racing starts on April 2. If you are planning to race on Thursday nights this season, please take the time to register as soon as possible. You can fill out the registration form online (go ahead... do it now and get it over with).
One reason we ask you to register is to provide the Joint Race Committee (JRC) the necessary information to plan the Race Committee duty roster for the season. The JRC will be meeting in early March to make committee assignments so please register by March 1.
There are a couple of events that you may want to save the dates for:
Saturday, March 28: North U Racing Tactics Seminar with Andrew Kerr
Saturday, May 9: Powerboat Safety & Orientation (three sessions to choose from)
Saturday, May 9: Race Committee Training (3:00 pm)
A reminder to all Thursday night skippers, you are expected to have completed both the Race Committee and Power boat training classes and have an Oregon boaters card. If you have already attended the training session and feel you need a refresher, May 9th is the time to get it done.
This year Joint Race Committee chairs are Ted Walkup (EYC) and Bill Schafer (TYC). Please share any concerns, suggestions, or thoughts you have about racing with us now or anytime throughout the season.
