BREAKING BIG BOAT NEWS: Elam not coming to Tri-Cities

BREAKING NEWS from the big boats ...
(thanks to ERCU's Ace Reporter Kirk Pagel for the update)

The editorial board of Unlimited News Journal learned today that the Ellstrom Racing Team has decided that it will not participate in the Lamb-Weston Columbia Cup at Tri-Cities July 25-27.

Plans are still for the Ellstroms to bring both the Miss Elam - driven by Dave Villwock - and the Boeing U-787 to Seafair. The U-1 Miss Elam, it is said, will compete for the Chevrolet Cup and Hanauer will test and qualify the U-787, but will not drive it in competition.

UNJ's editorial board also learned that there is still some question as to whether the Ellstroms will attend this year's San Diego race.

If you learned this, quote the people who said this. Name the names of the people that stated this. Did this come from Erick or somebody who runs his organization.

Back it up with some facts, instead of a vague "learned" statement.

Ummm...It says who reported it: "the Editorial Board of Unlimited News Journal".

Anonymous, I'm just curious...if you're asking for names of sources, how come you didn't cite your own name?

You and Your editorial board can EAT CROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ERCU take some advice. Put your foot in your mouth before you speak.

You and Your editorial board should be ashamed of yourselves!!!!

ERCU: The Blog is eating a little crow this morning, indeed. We admit it. But, our report came from credible sources based on insider information.

We apologize to the fans and the Ellstroms for any difficulties our report may have caused.

We are very happy to have learned that the team is coming to Tri-Cities to participate in the Columbia Cup.
