Racing Information
Welcome to the LCSA racing section! We do our thing on Thursday nights, and we are a bit different, completely nontraditional, hey our starting sequence is weird and we like it that way, horns, no flags, and maybe a random siren? But if you want to have fun and try to beat the guy in front of you with the faster boat, you are in the right place!
The first race of 2021 was March 25th and continued every Thursday Night thereafter. Any last minute cancellations or other information will be bulk texted. If you wish to be added to the bulk text list, please text Jim Hall at 281-450-9701 to sign up. We will be using horns and and maybe a siren to start our races.
The Horn Sequence:
1 blast of 2 to 3 seconds at 5 minutes before start.
1 short blast at 3 min
1 short blast at 1 min
1 long blast at START
The course will be one lap around the Southern mark, taking the mark to the boat's port side, then back through the start line to finish one lap. The start line will be near the lighthouse.
All racers are required to have working lights, if you don't have working lights please don't race!

Those that plan on racing should also plan on being available to volunteer on the committee boat at least once a month, either as driver or helper. A minimum of 2 people is required to set marks and run the races. Plus hey this is fun to float around and sound the horns (and or siren)!
Our experienced drivers are John Davis, Victor Scammel Anna Mode, Lisa Doyle, Bob Lenhart, Jim Hall, Brad Ballard, Bill Worsham, Gerrit Rickwalt, Joan Rickwalt, Josh Terry, Dick Morton, Tammi, Hewlett, and Andy Truscott, and as others help with races they will become drivers.
