When We Race
We race the first Saturday of the month April thru November (8 Club Race Days). Note: If there is a DF65 Regatta within 2 hours of our pond, then we may change our race day to allow the whole club to attend that event. Of course, this is at our discretion.
The first race starts after the Race Director's meeting There is a pizza place onsite that has incredible pizza, as well as other foods.
Note; Some special events may start at different times.
