    Are you guys sure that its not on Champs site to support the event like they did this past 2005 year?
    The champboat guys made that into a really fun event for spectators and drivers who like spectating when not driving.
    Champ also has Minneapolis listed, that would be really cool to have the Minneapolis Aquatennial again!

    Brian....Saw that champboat had Mpls scheduled for 06. Lets hope that they have it on one of the MANY LAKES in the area and not the river! There are lots of lakes but what will be available..who knows. Be a cool place to race on Calhoun lake.

    When you guys have a race at Moose Lake, is it in the lake right in town? I remember when turning off 35E that there is a lake right there. Is that the one?

    When ya gonna come out and get to a APR superleague race? The one in Peoria Ill wouldnt be too far.

    Keep em dry... Pitboss

    Default Odba

    puts on one helluva show. It would be a huge draw in boats if it suddenly became part of the Mercury Triple Crown Series, which would seem logical since Kankakee is so close to Mercuy headquarters. It would sure shorten the pull for the Mercury trailer.

    Nothings more cool than the river races for spectators. I know for the owners of equipment its not much fun, and hoping nothings floating down, but for you of those who have been to the Minneapolis aquatennial you'll never forget it. I remember seing thousands on the other side of the river, and strung across the bridges watching. Because of the angle of the banks, its like a outboard racing arena in metropolitan Minneapolis. It sure is really neat, Kankakee has a fraction of that with the banks.
    Moose Lake is right in town, that is just a little local race for guys to have a good time at the end of the year.
