Lots of help from Bruce Madej, Niles Mayfield, and Brett Bowen. Please join us for each race.[Jul 26 2015, 4:38 PM] mclouse2015: The U-100 did not run in Heat 4 because they had delamination in the rear wing structure and feared that they would lose the uprights and the wing if they ran.[Jul 26 2015, 4:39 PM] DAF: Hey Mac, if Madej is there say hello for me. I’m surprised they let him out of MI[Jul 26 2015, 4:40 PM] mclouse2015: Will do. We think he is on a work release program that will also allow him to be in Seattle next week.[Jul 26 2015, 4:42 PM] DAF: Great! Please lit him know I’ll see him next week, and Sharon and I will see you on Thurs.[Jul 26 2015, 4:43 PM] BrianInDetroit: This is about the time before the race when you could feel the excitement in the crowd building at Detroit for the Gold Cup – hope it’s doing the same there![Jul 26 2015, 4:44 PM] mclouse2015: We know that we are. Big crowd today due to the Gold Cup and the nice temperatures.[Jul 26 2015, 4:45 PM] mclouse2015: 10 to the 5. We’ll be back after the Final.[Jul 26 2015, 5:08 PM] ogopogo: Thanks for all the hard work this weekend[Jul 26 2015, 5:08 PM] mclouse2015: Thank you .

It has now been moved to 7th place. The results are 1, 5, 27, 21, 9, 11, 96.[Jul 26 2015, 5:22 PM] Brian Elslip: Now they are interviewing Theoret as the winner?[Jul 26 2015, 5:23 PM] mclouse2015: That will change.[Jul 26 2015, 5:24 PM] BrianInDetroit: I was wondering why they reversed the DMZ call when they didnt do it for other boats earlier, presumably they wanted to review it instead of dsq right then[Jul 26 2015, 5:25 PM] mclouse2015: Yes. They reviewed the video from the camera on the 96.[Jul 26 2015, 5:28 PM] Guest2389: That’s why you don’t interview anyone until the results are official.[Jul 26 2015, 5:47 PM] BrianInDetroit: Thanks Mac – seeya soon?[Jul 26 2015, 5:47 PM] mclouse2015: In Detroit.[Jul 26 2015, 5:47 PM] William Schneider: Has the winner cleared techyet?[Jul 26 2015, 5:48 PM] mclouse2015: Yes.

It is a challenge to change many years of old practices and methods and to incorporate all the new technologies.[Jul 26 2015, 5:58 PM] mclouse2015: That’s all from here. Please join us next week from Seattle.
