I am heading down with some camera stuff and will be onhand to capture some "Golden" moments....
Unless I am racing in them!
looks like Canadian curse will be broken again....
Sorry Hans....

I don't know where the Canadian curse originated from but...I believe Canadian teams won 3 of the 5 years the race was held at TI.  2005 was DW and 2009 was LARD but there was a Canadian 3-peat in between.

I think it came from the fact that no Canadian team won until 2006 and the festival has been around since the mid 90's(?), therefore the "Canadian curse" of not winning.

Anyone know if race grid's up yet?

Anyone know if race grid's up yet?

nope not yet.... teams are dropping out and what not ... so they have to re-do grids...

at least that's what i heard

[EWL]

Teams are dropping out? That's too bad... San Fran was awesome when we were there last year and probably the best festival our team has ever been to...

[NFW]

Bummer..I'm sure if teams drop out, its for a substantial reason seeing as how the festival usually sells out 3-4 months in advance.

Predictions anyone?  I am not going but wish I could, looks like there will be some fierce competition.  Let's see who is going:

LARD - can they repeat?
Magnum - can they overcome last year's loss?
Masters of D'Zone - Do they have enough to catch the others?
Jetstart - Will the jet engines be going full tilt this weekend, only B division last year?
Dragon Warriors - Always tough on their home turf, plus they dislike hearing O Canada
BAD - Will they be good this year or just B.A.D.?
Space Dragons - Will they be in hyper space or just spaced out?
Sudden Impact - Always a bridesmaid or the flower girl, will they finally make it to the alter?

????Also rans????
Killer Guppies - lurking around but they are just guppies and not sharks
Dieselfish - Same as the Guppies but slimmy because of the diesel, is San Fran harbour that polluted with diesel?
Lightwave - had a good run at Alcan, have they improved?
Pond Scum - How will they react to not being in a pond when they paddle, big waves and all.
Wasabi - in my high school days they rivalled FCRCC, now hardly hear of them. Will they come out with a roar or a whimper?

Wish the grid would come out so I could see what I will be missing.

With a name like LARD, you can't come up with something more witty?   As always, we will be paddling our hardest. Placing will depend on how hard everyone else paddles.

I think Killer Guppies will have a very good showing, they looked good at Long Beach.

[Mike]

DH Magnum is clearly the favorite team to win based on how they performed this season so far...

[U23Mixed]

Well I was giving some "respect" to the 2009 champions thus nothing too funny, but if you insist:

LARD - Did they get fat and sassy eating all that fried food and baked goods since last year, made from lard of course
Masters of D'Zone - will they master their domain (race) or just be master debators this weekend?
Magnum - will they be drinking a magnum of champagne or crying a magnum of tears?
Lightwave - will they see the light or get sucked into a black hole where no light will ever be seen again?
Wasabi - will they be hot like wasabi or cold like sushi?

[Illuminate]

There'll be some FCRCC paddlers sprinkled around as well

[LARDCore]

Race grid out.  So much for respect... 

[huli_chuck]

In all honesty, the seeding is pretty fair. LARD didn't do as well in Alcan this year compared to the last couple of years. Same goes for Long Beach. We didn't do anything to earn any respect. Hopefully we can go out and bust some brackets this weekend.

[NFW]

^ I like how 'bust some brackets' sounds lol
Good luck to LARD and all the teams racing this weekend! 
Forecast is SUNNY with 0% POP, bust out the sunscreen!

[EWL]

They had a huge thing of free sunscreen last year! Make sure to load up! Hehehe...
