 Good idea. Any suggestions on who should pilot the jet ski. :0

+Just to clarify:  things that happen after the gun goes off are conduct issues.  Not very much the race committee can do on this stuff.  I like that CSSC tried to outlaw drafting out of class (it still happened and Kathleen jumped all over Oscar for it - check Clint's facebook).  It's good if we call B.S. on it and my skirts are not totally clean in this regard.
+But cheating a start line is trash.  When someone walks away with a winners check because he paddled 60 ft less than a faster guy - it is theft.  If people want to idolize a fuckin asshat like that I'm going to spoil the party.  It doesn't matter to me what his VO2max or benchpress is.
+I keep wanting to drop this, but not sure I'm being heard.

+RD as one approaches ones mid 60's and early 70's one has to fight the GMOM syndrome. I know I do.(grumpy old men)

+I was going to bring up the drafting out of class but was told by by a very experienced racer to drop it as there is not much benefit to a double that is drafting a single. I didn't quite get that as I thought well aren't you still getting a ride ? Jonas and I had an opprtunity to draft a single but I said to stay clear of this guy as we may get DQ'd if someone thinks we are drafting. Our coach Igor is very strict about race starts and the rules and would be pissed if he knew any of us cheated in a race.
+I like Carter's suggestion. Reiver's good for you for bringing this up. I am sure Bob will rectify the situation for next year. Jan said he also held back at the atart thinking for sure there would be a restart. Clint is a fine example of a top class atlete.
