It's that time of year again!
The Muskoka Powerboat Races Presented by the Gravenhurst Tim Hortons will be at Gull Lake Park in Gravenhurst June 21-22. We welcome all stock and mod hydroplanes/runabouts, T-boats, ThunderCat (SLT), and drags.

The racing will be from 10am-5pm both Saturday and Sunday with announcing from Brian Sherriff and Bryan Agar. Saturday's awards will be handed out at the dinner/after party at Hunter’s shop (1088 Sedore rd., Gravenhurst).

We will be hosting the second annual John Webster memorial BCH race on Saturday so break out your poppers and throw the lumber under them! Last year we had a full field and some great racing so let’s go for eliminations this year!

Tim Hortons will be on site again with free coffee for the racers and will be taking donations to support the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation.

There will also be on water race demos by the Ontario Watercross Racing Association! This is a new group in Ontario and they are prepping quite the show for us! Check them out at http://www.ontariowatercrossracing.com/

There will be free camping at the Hunter's shop at 1088 Sedore rd. Gravenhurst Friday, Saturday, and even Sunday night if needed. There is a bathroom with a shower on site. First come first serve for the hydro hookups. Nancy Hunter is planning a Talladega Nights inspired dinner on the Saturday for the racers and we will even have a band so don’t miss it! A hat will be going around for donations to pay the fees for the band.

There is also free camping at Greg Keeling’s place. Contact him for details.

We don’t have group pricing for any hotels this year as there are multiple weddings in town, but There is a Howard Johnson in town, as well as The Pinedale Inn, Oakwood Motel, and the Marriott Residence Inn.

Will,
On behalf of fellow TORC racers I want to thank you and Hunter Family for excellent and generous work to prepare and promote another fabulous Gravenhurst Muskoka Powerboat Race, and offering Hunter Equipment facilities as hosts for the weekend. I also want to thank Keeling's for opening their home again as gracious hosts, and all of our sponsors for supporting this event. Sounds like it will be another spectacular weekend for racing and fun.

Will, well done as always, I can't wait for this weekend, hopefully Mother Nature will be kind to us.

Cheers,
Erik

For anyone interested... I have a room at the HoJo for Sat night... two Queen beds. $135 taxes in I think it was. Turns out I will not need it and will cancel it tonight unless anyone needs it, I can ask them to switch it.
