The Lotusphere 2008 Blarmy Boat Races (aka Swancross?)
Posted by Jess in Lotusphere2008

Matt and I just registered as a team for the 3rd Annual Blarmy Boat Races at Lotusphere!

This post over at Warren's sums up the event. Basically, they noticed that in between the Swan and Dolphin was a huge lake. This lake had some nice swan boats for guests. Two years ago, they had an informal race, and last year, they had about 30 people race, which was great fun.

Apparently, this year, the swan boats are not pedal boats anymore, they are Electric. With Water Guns. And Warren is doing a SLALOM.

So unless my eyes deceive me, we are doing an AUTOCROSS (swancross, really) at Lotusphere.
What I want to know is, if I put strut bars on my swanboat, do I run in a different class? Can I put a supercharger in mine? "Open Swan Modified"? "Open Swan Prepared?" "Swan-stock" for unmodified swans?

I'll have to get my team's Pixie Posse Racing stickers there to represent. :-)

However, we will be there on Tuesday at 12:45 against Team OpenNTF, Curt Stone, and Greyhawk and Devin.

I'll need to cheat like Wiley Coyote to win. I did get my old racing partner, Andrew Kelly.
Let the games begin.

Jess,

We have renamed our team to "OpenJam" :-)

OpenJam, lol...
Curt, that is AWESOME that you teamed up with Andrew again. I just can't wait to see everyone.

Truth is, everyone can't wait to see Zoe. She'll get all the attention I'm sure. Very cool.

Yeah, I can't wait to show her off. :-)

Jess, are you bringing a stripe to put on your boat? We all know they make things go faster. :)
