Definitely a much nicer forum for discussions.
Good luck to all teams going to Calgary. It sounds like the race course is fair and the festival is well organized. Lets hope the weather holds out.

Yes, they have been the top Manitoba team for a few years now (they paddle out of Winnipeg).
I don't remember them being in Kelowna last year, though...maybe the year before?

yup they were there... i remember well cuz they edged us out for 3rd in platinum by 0.03sec!
I know there will be lots of attention on the big boys and girls in the NCC's this weekend, but lets not forget the annual festival as well taking place at the same time which is shaping up to have some good competition
Blu-by-U, NAVY, and Fresh Impact (FODB / Sudden Impact with some guests) will be there trying to bring the medals home to BC, and will be going head to head with the likes of Crew Yahoo, Guardian (2006 champs), some topmade team (can't tell which one is which anymore), Waste Management, etc. The only team I can't place from 06 is the "HSBC Pure Energy" (or something to that effect) - anyone know the deal with them? its rare to see such a competitive team completely disappear.

I believe HSBC Pure Energy is under the Dragnum name this year.

HSBC Pure Energy is now known as Dragnum - look for them to make some noise at the festival.

Dragnum is definitely looking strong this year, as does the other Calgary teams competing at this years festival. This weekend should have some pretty good match-ups as these teams go head-to-head for hardware. We'll have to see where these medals end up going. Too close to call.

Agreed about Dragnum. We did a race piece against them earlier in the practice season and saw that they were indeed pretty fast. Or was it that we were slow? Hmm...  |

For those of you who are not in Calgary, bring warm clothing. The sun is out but it's still a bit chilly! See you all tomorrow!  |

It is great to see so many teams from the East. I hope that the teams in the NCC and the Festival will think about traveling to represent the West when the NCC is held out East.
