Congratulations Team Lugano! We got a 2,2,3 second place with 7 points. Plankton has 4, Dan Howard and Corleone are tied with 10 and Cheetah has 14.

Very nice.

Random fact of the day: did you know there is a Weather Mark Tavern in Chicago?

Also, if you Google Lugano Racing, our website is #1 in the search results! The site is even higher than the Lugano CAR Racing team from Italy. Crucial.

Somewhat old photos of the first race in the Hot Rum series. Taken by my friend Joanny Salvas.

Technically these are of Wiki Wiki, but crewed by Lugano. Good times.

I look like I’m in charge. Or, as I like to call it, “trying to stay out of the way”. Same thing.

Alright team…

Unfortunately, the main Lugano Website cannot be easily updated by everyone since it was built with HTML and CSS. Its structure also restricts the amount of photos and content we can put up there.

So a blog seemed like a good addition, that way we can constantly have new material and information about Lugano. If you’re familiar with WordPress or if you’ve ever had a blog (it’s really easy!) you can add your own posts, comments, photos, videos, etc., here.

And you can set up your Blackberries, Crackberries, ItunePhones and whatnot to let you know every time someone posts or comments. It’s kinda like googlegroups, except it doesn’t suck.

Great shots of Lugano from the Race Committee boat by Ms. Feddal, or shall I say Commodore Feddal?
