Kitsap Lake Reborn at Camp McKean

Seattle Outboard Association
PIT PREVIEWS
Celebrating 87 years of Bringing Boat Racing
to the Pacific Northwest
July 2016
Kitsap Lake Reborn at Camp McKean
It’s Baaaaaack!...Kitsp Lake’s
finally returned to the SOA
schedule after a few years off for
a Navy redesign and rebuild of
facilities. Camp McKean’s been
regenerated with new buildings
and bathrooms and a landscape &
lawn rework that meant a revision
for now in how we park and set
up, but it all worked out very
nicely.
Multiple winners were Ryan
Gowin - AX Runabout, AX Hydro
and K-Pro Hydro. Kyle Bahl
- C Stock Hydro and C-Stock
Runabout, and Jamie Nilsen
- C-Service Runabout and 350cc
Hydro adding his name to the Will
Paramore 350 Trophy,
Weather wasn’t as cooperative
though. Saturday was rainy,
but race worthy and we ran the
planned schedule with only
a couple hold-ups to recover
swimmers and boats. Sunday’s
weather was clear and sunny but
all the wind-gods were on hand to
spoil the fun, and the racing was
eventually called off.

New Business:
Equipment:
Daren Goehring reported new Jon
Boats and all new 4 Stroke motors
are Good to go.
Numbers/Letters on Boats:
Members are urged to read
your APBA rules regarding boat
numbers/letters. We don’t want
to DQ racers for not following the
rules. Any questions, please check
with the inspector or referee.
Blow off Coupons:
Daren Goehring Called on racers
to remember they need to ensure
scorers & class reps know if they’re
scratching before or after drivers
meeting. We are looking at using
blow-off coupons, rather than
refunding money.
Volunteers & post-race clean-Up:
We need everyone’s help with
volunteering & clean-up. We
are all racers, but for us to have
a successful event, we also
need racers to help out in other
capacities such as volunteering for
other duties. Deoending on the
same core of people over & over
again should not be the standard.
Kyle Bahl recommended labeling
things (positions/spots) in the
club trailer, so individuals (other
minutes Continued on Page 3
minutes Continued from Page 2
than Howard) would know exactly
where to store club equipment.
Pre-Registration:
Please pre-register on-line. Very
simple, plus it allows us to set-up
a race schedule in advance (based
on pre-registration numbers) &
build scorer’s sheets.
Announcer Sheets for each
Driver & Handbook: (Daren)
Please fill out announcer sheets,
so PA announcer can share your
personal/racing information with
the public.
JMK Trailer hit at Kitsap:
(Daren) See Kitsap Lake, above.
Club Conduct: (rules/regulations
to be enforced even more) (Daren)
We need to tighten a few things
up, especially regarding language
& behavior…need to follow APBA
guidelines regarding conduct.
Read & understand your APBA
rules + by-laws & work through
your class reps.
Underage drinking: Bottom
line, no tolerance. Smoking of
Marijuana: NOT allowed and
Illegal in APBA. Again, no
tolerance. Jan Shaw, will be
randomly testing racers at events.
