Len, “the call” often comes late….like the week before the event. At least that’s how it worked the last time I was close.
I really wish they would fill the field as early as possible. This year, with Michigan still going through qualifiers in the third week of August, “the calls” will not be made until well into September. But that’s just a guess.
My guess is that at 33, you’ll get the call. I got called last time around when I was 36 or 38 on the boater side, but I declined to go.
