Thanks for the compliment Mike. The Kosh Speed Run Event was my baby from it's start in 1995 after my brother sold the Anchor Inn and the annual Koshkonong Bootleg Boat Run went away... That was the brutal race across the lake and back that was run from approximately 1987-1994. We took a lot of pride in developing the Kosh Speed Runs and we had fun doing it from 1995-2005. I really need to thank all those who helped make the event such a huge success back then... Bill Gohr, Sam Baker, Troy Oleson, Gary Frankowski, and many others... plus all the competitors that drove for many hours to take part. Thank you. Leigh and I really miss those days and all our boat racing friends. Mike, I have a t-shirt for you my friend.

Gimmer always put on a sweet show for the races, that's for sure. My Dad stopped up to Sunset last night and talked with the owner for a bit. He hasn't posted on here, but explained that if they can get an idea of participants in the next week or so, they will go forward with the races for sure. There's a lot of planning and investment in putting an event on, so if you guys can give some feedback on a roll call and so fourth, I'm sure it will help to make this years event better. :cheers:

Rick & Terri the current owners are great people. Fun lake bar and nice people. I don't have much contact with them, but after last years confusion, Bill Gohr and myself offered to work the 2013 event like the old days. I have not heard anything to date. It would be a really sad day for me if the event goes away.

Races are for sure going to happen! no boat count needed. My buddy talked over the event getting details just last week with the new owners of the bar. A lot of work is needed to prep, and run an event like these, I'm sure they would like any help possible.

Well I guess that's it then. JeffX, I'll sponsor some runs. Need some results or you're buying the New York Strips.
