FWIW, If or when you help RC, suggest you take a good camera or a good cell phone and take pictures at the start. It's the best seat in the house. I took 450 pictures during one race and sent the best 120 pics to the group afterwards. Highlight of the summer for me, as I got to know the competition better and made a lot of friends from that.
