The latest on Saturday
FLYC Telltale
Hey everybody, It doesn’t look like this storm is backing down. This is the latest advisory from NOAA below. As of now, we (Reaction) will not plan to race Saturday. I’m going to head to the lake this afternoon to take the cover off of the boat so it doesn’t get shredded in the wind. I’ll also be heading back to the lake Saturday morning just to check on things. Some have mentioned getting in a practice day on Sunday which I would certainly be interested in but understand that it won’t be a FLYC race. If the conditions are not safe Saturday and/or no one shows up to race then the race will be cancelled. There is no postponement or re-schedule. Let me know if you’d be interested in a practice day on Sunday and we’ll run it like a beer can race day maybe do some crew swapping for training etc.

Saturday. And, we will definitely be out practicing on Sunday. Our
plan is to meet at the ramp at 12:30, to give the weather a chance to
clear, and so we don't have to bother with packing lunches. Crew
swapping sounds good to us -- we're breaking in a new crew, so we'll
have a fourth available for rotation.
