Any 120's going??????????????????

I just heard from Ross that there will not be a 120 class at LB. Because my new boat and Dean's boat are not ready, there will not be enough (Mark and Dan only) boats to make a class. He's hopeful that next year will see a full class on the west coast (I sure hope so!). I'm racing my Mirage at LB just for fun, but I can't wait to get into my 120 boat next season.
