Internet troubles

Hey all:
Sorry that we didn't get the third and fourth flights of heats, as well as the connies and finals updated from the race site. Seems we didn't get a real good internet connection on the available wireless, and the best we could do was post what we did.

But now that we're back at the palatial offices of www.e-rcu.org, we've got a good connection so we can do some updating.

Mike Campbell won the modern final of the MaxAmps Oregon Emerald Cup today, and Jeff Campbell won the vintage. Both successfully defended their championships of last year.

With the connies also counting as race wins, Rick Lentz recorded his second career win, and first for the U-95, piloting the white boat to a first place finish in the Bob Miller Memorial. Craig Mullen won for the first time in his ERCU career, too, winning the Chuck Hickling Memorial with Ben Keller's Hawaii Kai III - it was also Ben's first career race win as an owner.

It was a great day, with 29 boats in the pits, and we all had a wonderful time. There was ample shade, a nice breeze and the fountain behind the pits provided just enough cooling to make the 90-plus degree temperatures not so bad.

We missed all of you who were unable to attend and look very much forward to seeing you all again very soon.
