MWT UPDATE 3-16-2008
The 2008 race schedule is shaping up
nicely with a few great new events. The City of Walled Lake
approved use of the beach area for a new event last night.
More information to follow. We will be making a trip to Oscoda
over the next two weeks to finalize everything there and site and
hotel rates will be posted soon. Finally we will be making a
trip to St. Ignace to look at a new site in St. Ignace at the new
Kewadin Casino. Weather is warming up and lakes are unfreezing
and watercraft racing season will be here in no time.

Lake Festival that attracts 50,000 spectators. Site is great
big, fun, huge festival with lots to do. Fireworks

be worth the wait. You can see the fireworks and walk to the site

cars and 100 Amphicars. YOU WILL NOT be able to park in the

All roads are closed off to the pit area so you would not be able to

After the fireworks racers can move to the pit area or
wait until the morning and camp and park motorhomes there. We
