The Michigan Cup 2013 (June 28,29,30)

The Kids P-lim Mono class was a lot of fun, 5 rounds over 2 days, and it was WIDE open, After the first 3 rounds my Daughter Nina was in the drivers seat with a 1st and 2 seconds but was the only one that had completed all 3 rounds, she needed a couple of decent finishes and it was all hers. in the 4th round she was trying to make a pass in turn 1, I told her it was her choice race hard or lay back, she decided to go for broke and she hit a buoy and flipped. She had the greatest attitude she just looked at me and said "Oh well thats racing daddy" My daughters finishe Ava 2nd and Nina 3rd, but The Guy to beat was TD!!! Tyler Davis came back from down a couple hundred points the first day and whooped some butt!!! I was so proud of my Daughters the way they drove and how they handled themselves in general and I was proud of all the kids, the class was very compettitive and it was fun to watch!!!!




I know I'm forgetting a bunch of other races but these are ones that stick out in my mind. Huge thanks to the MMEU guys what a great job putting this together, Thanks to the Elks for unwaivering hospitality a great attitude and an amazing fireworks show. I want to thank My wife Regina and her cousin Max for making the trek and enduring the long days of racing. My wife told Max (she would probably never tell me to my face) she has a new respect for what I do at these races and all the work it takes to get all mine and my daughters boats ready.

1.Remember this Mike? Ava, stop... AVA STOP!.... AVA STOP!!!!! at the start of the race... way to psych out the competition AVA, lol... that was funny!

2. It was great to meet and get to know max, very cool Cali-dude he is...

Here's another....

Q Sport. I think this was Mike #1's record, before getting beat by Mike #2. ....and of course the peanut gallery, and Jimmy's favorite line 'That's disgusting'.
