Welcome to the LCSA racing section! We do our thing on Thursday nights, and we are a bit different, completely untraditional, 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 will be March 25th and continue 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.
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 The Spring series races will start at 6:00 PM, first horn at 5:55 PM!
