Race numbers & names...

"IN THE BEGINNING" before they were known as the GN class, it was the "U" class.
Couldn't pick the number of my favorite "GN" #9 because it was still in use by the original holder. I doubt you will ever see that number on another boat than the one its currently on. That number is pretty much off limits.
So I picked the number of my second favorite boat.

Thanks gn7... Pretty cool! What exactly is a GN boat. I don't understand the classes...

Think K boat with a little less power but a little larger with a shallow v bottom.
All other circle boats run 5 lap or 5 mile races. GNs run 2 -10 lap races on Saturday and one 20 lap final on Sunday. the other inboard circle boats start running on the water usually with a green flag but sometimes a countdown clock where they can't cross the start line before the clock hits zero.
GNs start on the beach with a dead engine. Flag drops, and they start and go. Damn thing better start FAST!
