    Mr. C runabout, Daryl Sorenson is running there.... At 65 years young, he is simply amazing to watch and I can't imagine 3 hours on my knees at 65.....

    Good Luck to all!!!!!!

    Thumbs up Darrell

    Skoontz - Darrell is amazing. My wife and I had the opportunity to meet him and his wife at Wakefield last year at the nationals. No fancy motor homes for Darrell. They pitched thier tent and stayed the week to watch the action.Then went to the Top'O race the following week and pit crewed for several racers durring the week, repaired the hole in my sons Sorenson he got at Wakefield and also worked on his own boat.Then went out and raced the marithon. The guy is like the Energizer bunny. Oh did I mention he is nice also.

    Tom:

    Daryl took KT and I over to his shop when we ran Chowchilla. KT wants one of his hydros....I'm leaning toward a Dawe. She loves the way Karissa Carlsons rode around the course....

    Both builders are incredible....Sidetracked the thread here, but, yeah Daryl is Mr. C runabout...No question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Need a battery, give me a holler. We can hook up some where. I might try coming up to Indian River this weekend, not sure yet. I was gonna watch this year. The boat I had lined up is not going to work. Also could not come up with a stocker engine to run. Some time I will make this race though, borrow beg or whatever, some time I will!!

    Might be able to send one up with Lowes if you are going to Top O.

    Dave, Thats the exact attitude I had for 15 years before I finally got it done. It was a dream come true! I sure hope you can make it next year for the 60th annual running. Can you imagine they've been running Top 'O since 1948!
    Here's a pic I took when I arrived Friday afternoon. I looked at the lake and said: "HOLY CR**!" Fortunatly, the wind died down nicely for Saturday and Sunday.

    Also: I often times joke around with my wife about moving elsewhere. When we arrived at Indian River I started it up with her again. Everything there is beautiful! The lakes, rivers, the whole town! Think I'm exaggerating? Here's a pic of Indian River. I took this picture the day before Top 'O. The next pic is one of the Missisippi river one week later in my hometown area of the Quad Cities. It was taken with my phone camera, rather than my Sony digital, but, I think you get the point.

    I am hooked 100% on The Top 'O Michigan Marathon! See you there next year!

    Welcome to Michigan's up North. The scenery is breath taking from about Big Rapids all the way north. It only gets better the further North you go from the state line. I snowmobile up there in Indian River, so I am very familiar with the area. I know it is beautiful. And it is only a few hours drive !

    So I guess I better start putting feelers out for next year. Anyone got a D they would let run there ?
