Reports
From The Woodlawn Racing Team
The Woodlawn Racing
Team was back in action on January 21st - 23rd at
the Frostbite Regatta
in Pasadena, TX! Updates on the adventures of our
sailing hero's are posted below.
For additional
information visit our friends at
The
Clearpoint Model Yacht Club
who sponsored this fabulous regatta. – Good Sailing, Eric
Gregory.
Sunday, January
23rd, 9:30pm - Another 16 exciting races were ran this Sunday
bringing the Grand Regatta Total to 35! Team Woodlawn competed
against some of the best Vic Racers in Texas and beyond with
the following results: Ray Seta - 2nd, Bud Garcia - 6th, Mark Hogan
- 7th, Eric Gregory - 9th, Armando Rivera - 12th, and Tom Kern
(the darn Yankee)-
15th. Great thanks to the folks at
The
Clearpoint Model Yacht Club
for putting on this first rate Victoria event.
[Observation of the Day: Without JK around to help, poor
'old' Ray threw out his back this morning while brushing his teeth
(Yes This is a
True Statement).
Mark and Eric were quickly put to work fetching Ray's coffee,
putting his boat in the water and all the usual JK duties.
Everyone felt so bad for Ray that we decided to let him come in 2nd.
So now the world knows the truth! Good Sailing Everyone and
see you at the next Victoria event.]
Here are the complete race by race results for the 2005 Frostbite
Regatta:

Saturday,
January 22nd, 5 pm -
Extremely exciting and
tight races marked Saturday's portion of the Frostbite Regatta.
The weather exhibited just about every kind of condition except
cold. We started off the day with fog and zero winds and
quickly watched the winds ratchet up to 10 to 15 from the Southeast.
As the day went on the winds clocked around to the Northeast and
port starts became the norm. Clouds rolled in and out.
Winds picked up, dropped off, and then picked up again. Only
17 of the 21 registered competitors were present so odd/even racing
was replaced with 17 boat starts. There were 19 hard fought
races in all before we closed up shop for the day! Race
results will be posted tonight after the Saturday night Bar-B-Que at
Clearpoint Church.
[Observation of the Day: Ray was so distraught over not
having his little buddy JK with him that he launched his boat
without turning it on. The result was a race down wind by 15
boats to catch '24 Carrot' and turn her back to shore. What we
discovered was that '24 Carrot' is much faster on her own than when
piloted by Ray!]
And here are the
results from Day 1:

Friday, January
21st -
Absolutely beautiful day here at Burke/ Crenshaw Park in Pasadena,
TX with 10 knot breezes, 75 degree temperature and clear skies
overhead. 11 boats were checked including 6
members of the Woodlawn Racing Team. This evening Bob Piper of
Lewisville, TX and Gilbert MacLachlan of Chalmette, LA joined
Woodlawn Team members: Ray Seta, Tom Kern
(the darn Yankee),
Mark Hogan, Bruce "Budman" Garcia, and Eric Gregory for an evening
out on the town. Tall sailing stories and good food were had
by all!
Tomorrow's skipper's meeting starts at 9:30AM and the first race
will start at 10AM.
[Observation of the Day: Ray
(Cheech)
is not the same without JK
(Chong).
Ray is like a lost child in a Walmart without his little buddy!
Who will bring him his coffee in the morning? Who will hold
his beer during a race? Stay tuned to find out if Ray survives
on his own.]
Wednesday, January
19th - Just
in Time for the Frostbite Regatta the National Victoria Rankings are
out! JK and Ray dropped a few spots to 6th and 9th. Bud
jumped into the top 25 in 20th. Mark Hogan also jumped into
the top 25 in 24th. This is important if they use the top 25
as an automatic invite to Nationals this year again. Mondo
jumped up 50 spots to be 46th. But the biggest jump was Eric.
He jumped 233 spots up to the 69th spot. Now let's talk
about our poor Yankee Tom. Still in the top 100 but dropped 6 spots
to 91st. For the full listing click here:

Sunday, January 16th – Another Fantastic day on Woodlawn Lake
as 7 Victoria’s, 3 OD39’s and 1 Fairwind raced around the buoys in
crisp 55 degree winds! For Team Woodlawn's Victoria R/C
Racers this was the last practice before the Frostbite Regatta
scheduled for January 21st - 23rd in Pasadena, TX.
