Test, Inspect, Trailer day set for March 15 in Toledo

As the opening of the 2025 ERCU Championship Series continues to get closer and closer on spring’s horizon, we’re excited to share plans for our Test & Inspect day at South County Park at Wallace Pond in Toledo.

The day is set for Saturday, March 15. ERCU Race Coordinator David Heilbrunn said we’ll begin setup at 8 a.m., with the intent to open the course by 9 a.m., and we’re planning to run some exhibition heats once the trailer work and lunch are finished.

Trailer Work & Hot Dogs
We’ll also take time out of our day to complete the long-awaited work to clean out our trailer and determine the things that are needed to keep and what’s not needed. We need to make space for our new stairs from Fuller Chassis! Dennis Caines will also provide hot dogs for everyone in attendance during our trailer work break.

Inspections
Boats will also need inspections, starting with new boats, boats that have not ever been inspected or those that underwent major repairs or livery changes during the offseason.

On the Water Action
A race course will be set for the purpose of practice and testing. If there are new members who need complete the driving test, we’ll take opportunities to close the course for those tests to be done as well. The course should be set by 9 a.m., and we’ll run open water through the morning. Exhibition heats will be run in the afternoon once the trailer work and lunch is done.

We have the course until 5 p.m.
