I seem to recall that Mike Jones, of WRPI memory, participates in that race every year.

it was a discussion of that which led to me finding out about the LeMons race. :)

When I wrecked my Laser, I bought a spare one for parts. I've been wondering what I was going to do with the leftover bits when I finally finish rebuilding the first one.
