Gold Cup - Sahara Cup Date Changes

We had a show of hands at the Seafair race in Monroe as to how many people could make the July 11th Gold Cup. There were many, many, that could not attend on that date. Because of this, the following change has been made:

  • We have moved the Sahara Cup to July 11th
  • The Gold Cup has moved to September 12th
This should allow a better turn out for our premier race at our premier site. Both races will still be held at Jones Lake. There will NOT be Friday set up and testing before the Sahara Cup.

Race Schedule Changes

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, there have been some schedule changes for the 2009 season.

Both dates at Riverside have been cancelled by a situation out of the owner's control. UNW would like to thank Riverside Sand & Gravel owner Louis Matheson Jr. "Louie" for giving us the use of his water for the last several years, and we hope that at some point we might be able to return!

  • The Crystal Cup has been moved to Ellensberg on Aug. 15th
  • The Gold Cup that was scheduled for Aug. 15th has been moved up to July 11th
  • The UNW Board is unsure at this time whether the Molson Thunderfest can be rescheduled at another location

Jim and Adam Putich have added a nice feature to their Seafair race this Saturday. View all these updates on the Schedule page

Any Shutterbugs?

The club could sure use some race day pictures of this season's action. Pictures don't only have to be of on the water action. Pictures of the pits, drivers on the stand, trophies, race site etc. would all be of interest. If you'd like to take your camera to the races this year and submit your pics to be used on the site, let the webmaster [Lee] know. Your efforts will be greatly appreciated, and you'll be famous too!
