Point Park River Run Schedule in Carrollton Kentucky August 22, 23, & 24

[95RapidRiot]

Racing, Poker Run, and a Whole Lot of Fun for All! :thumbsup:

There will be all kinds of Outboard Boats, Jet Boats and V-Drives. All are Welcome. Race Classes for all.

There will also be inflatable toys there for the kids. Slides and a Jump House for example.


Racing:
We will have a horn start. There will be a pairing buoy setup in front of the start buoys. You need to be paired by the first buoy. The boat closest to the shore will be the pace boat at 1500-1800 RPM. After passing the pairing buoy once you are even the horns will sound. Be ready because it may not be exactly at the start buoy. The horn can be sounded anytime after passing the pairing buoy.

We still need quite a few volunteers. We especially need people to handle Registration, T-Shirts, and the Betting. The more people the more we rotate people so they don't have to put in a lot of their time. If volunteers could get a partner to rotate with. I think that would work well. We need to cover at least half a day for 3 days.

Schedule of Events
Safety Rules & Class Rules

Grudge Racing can be run anytime there is not an official race class being held. Go and have a blast!


Point Park River Run T-Shirts will be available at $20 each. Pics of the shirts are at the end of the 4th page!



Event Schedule:
Friday August 22nd Many people and boats will be arriving throughout the day. The race course of 800 feet will be set in the morning. Grudge Racing and Boat Setup will take place throughout the entire day. Overall a great day to enjoy the surroundings!

Saturday August 23rd 8:00 AM Drivers Meeting: Drivers for both the Unlimited and the Super Mod classes need to be present. First we will review the class rules and emphasize good hard honest racing. Then we will cover starting procedures and safety rules. We will also meet with the local water patrol and follow their guidelines. Entry fee is $25 each will be collected. All drivers must sign the waiver form in order to race in any class!
9:00 AM: Unlimited class will start racing. These boats really need good water because they are extremely fast and exciting to watch. Guys will push these boats to their limits and hit triple digits in the 800 feet. These are not your every day ski or bass boat. The same goes for the Super Mod boats. These boats will also reach triple digits. This will awesome to watch. Any time before the racing starts we will have a Pari-mutuel Betting Station for anyone who would like to bet and possibly win some money while enjoying the racing action. There will be a computer program setup to handle the bets and payouts. 15% of the total money taken in will be donated to the Shop with a Cop Charity. Betting will be limited to Win and Runner Up. None of the special bets, like the Trifecta, will be taken. (Trying to Keep Simple)
The Super Mod Class will start after the Unlimited Class is finished. The estimated time to finish both classes will be around 11:30 AM. All depends on number of boats. Then we have the Big Daddy Motors Racing. This will be the fire breathing Jet and V-Drive Boats. There should be some blower motors, turbo motors, and some combination with alcohol as the fuel. There will be big blocks, small blocks, and all makes. This will be bad to the bone!
4:00 PM: We will start the Poker Run. It is $20 a hand to play. We will collect the hands around 8:00 PM. Winners and Runners Up will be announced for the racing classes and presented with plaques. Then we will announce the Poker Run Winners.


Sunday August 24th 8:00 AM Drivers Meeting: Drivers for both the Pro Mod and the Lake Racer classes need to be present. First we will review the class rules and emphasize good hard honest racing. Then we will cover starting procedures and safety rules. We will also meet with the local water patrol and follow their guidelines. Entry fee of $25 each will be collected. All drivers must sign the waiver form in order to race in any class!
9:00 AM: The Pro Mod class will start. These are production looking boats but some fast motors! They will surprise you. This class should be done around 10:30 AM. Then the Lake Racer Class will start. These are production boats with almost stock motors and 4 seats. We hope to see a lot of first time racers in this class. This is a class pretty much any boat can get in and at least try it. It is a ton of fun! After each class is out of the water we will present the winner and runner up with plaques. After this nothing is planned. Most people will start to pack up and head for home. We just need to make sure our areas are clean and picked up.

General Point Park River Run Recommendations

Please remember we are guest of Carrollton. None of this would have happened without their blessing. Therefore respect all Carrollton citizens. Follow all suggestions given by the water patrol or police. Don’t drive anywhere if you have had too much to drink. Please get a driver. Make sure your area is clean when you leave. Let’s show Carrollton that race boaters are great people and appreciate the chance to race in their town.

[rpm racing]

Looks great.

The only comment I have is on Saturday morning you should run jets and v-drives in the middle slot. Therefore unlimited boats can run first, and then run V drives/jets and give the unlimited boats time to get set up for super mod at the end of the day.

[95RapidRiot]

Good idea.

Although I really worry about water conditions. Last year it was bad for Unlimited. We can always give the guys time to come in to their trailer for changes.

How about a compromise?

THANKS!

[Laker]

Roger,
Any plans for artwork on the Tshirts?
Sounds good so far.

[95RapidRiot]

No idea on art work. Ready for suggestions.

I will have them done in Carrollton.

THANKS!

[Capt.Insane-o]

Can we camp at the park still? I sort of remember :p some rv hookups or something.

[95RapidRiot]

I am not sure about the connections available. The one that stayed was the big bus camper that had it's own generator. I think that was Galen Burden?

I still have to encourage renting rooms. That is the one way Carrollton judges the success of the event by counting the number of rooms rented. I will know on rates soon.

[95RapidRiot]

THANKS RBT!


Sounds good Roy.


THANKS!

[95RapidRiot]

Shirt design idea. Have Point Park River Run on the front like the S&F shirts. Then on the back look into gettin a finishline graphic with a Hydro, Jet/V-Drive, and STV/T-3. I also want to be shown the rooster tails behind the boats. I will look into it. If they can fit 4 boats in the graphic I would add a Allison.

What do you guys want a 50/50 shirt or 100% cotton. I am thinking white or the light grey for color of the shirt.

Opinions please.

THANKS!

[95RapidRiot]

No word on the Grant.

I have not heard on any rate breaks yet. Please copy and post with a schedule if you have posted a schedule already.

I talked with Greg Davis the head Water Patrol Officer(Also on the Tourism Committee) and he said there was only 32 boats last year. I told him we wanted to at least double that number. He also told me of a concern he had heard about from the local police. Normally no Alcohol is allowed in the park except for us and other events. Last year there was Alcohol plainly in site to passing locals and they were not too happy. Then they made complaints. He was not talking about a beer or two. He said it was big hard liquor bottles. We definitely have to make sure all Alcohol is not right out in the open for all to see. If we don't take care of this we could also be banned from having any alcohol in the park. :eek: :eek: :eek: We just have to be smart about it.

THANKS!

[YELLOWSS]

last year the at the comfort inn. the cheapest rate was through AAA.

[hosejockey4506]

i thought this racing was for fun. why would donated money go towards prize money for the race.

[95RapidRiot]

15% of the total bets made (prize money) goes to the Charity. I am only talking if we happen to have a surplus in donated money. I figured people would want to know where their money is going. People in the past have donated just to the prize money. This way some of it also goes to the "Shop with a Cop" charity.

Although right now if we get turned down for grant money. We won't be having any event at all. No money has been turned in for anything.

I know it is early but I am not waiting until July to see if we can do it or not. I want this all planned and paid for before June. Tomorrow wouldn't be to soon for me. Some people have to plan schedules far in advance.

[fasteddie]

I though right now you only wanted tent money? I don't want tent space. I would be glad to send donation, but when I hear no grant no event, that sort of makes me want to wait and see what happens. Money does just as good sitting in my account as yours until I know the event is going to happen.

[95RapidRiot]

That is a very good point on the donations!

I sent Tourism a e-mail yesterday to find out when we will find out on the grant status.

If we get no grant money. Then we will have to come up with $2000 minimum for insurance and to pay the night security(Police Officer) to watch our boats in the Park. That would also mean No Tents, No T-Shirts, & No Pizza. There would still be betting and racing. I would need some entry fee money up front to order the Plaques for 1st & 2nd finishers. This is worse case scenario.

Then at that point we would have to decide if we can get enough money donated to cover that minimum $2000????

THANKS!

[Chummy]

To the top

[RBT]

Yup I am in with my new Rocket.

RT

[95RapidRiot]

Tourism is meeting on the Grant this Friday. I will post as soon as I know.

[hosejockey4506]

its friday any update

[fasteddie]

Any word on what tourism is doing yet?

[95RapidRiot]

Nothing yet. I figured their meeting was Friday night and i should hear something Monday. Then I will post.

THANKS!

[95RapidRiot]

Great news on the Grant being apprioved.:) :) Thanks to all who helped in Carrollton! Now is time to really get things rolling. We have enough to cover the insurance and some other park related fees. This will also take care of the pizza. I will check into some big signs to be put up around town for the event. The grant should cover this also. I will check locally on that.

Donations acceptable also.


The POINT PARK RIVER RUN is officially going to happen. Now lets make it as good as we can! :D

[YELLOWSS]

awesome news roger. i will work on our group.

roy

[pyro]

Thanks for all your efforts, Roger.

[Capt.Insane-o]

I'll see what I can do about a motor to raffle.

[95RapidRiot]

All sounds good.

I talked with the local T-Shirt Company and they are going to send me sample graphic ideas. I will post when I get them.

Anyone have an idea how many I should order. I think around 150 - 200 have been ordered in the past. Including last year. Size recommendations also. I figured mostly L, XL, & XXL then have a few M and XXXL?????

THANKS!

[95RapidRiot]

We still need another boat chaser to help let the boats who are up know.

Someone volunteered for some signs. Sorry I did not keep track. We need some big numbers like 2'x2' so we can get the attention of the racers. 4-5 sets numbered from 1-25 should cover it. We will give numbers to the boat Chasers and Start boat.

We also need 5 people who would hand out the cards for the Poker Run at the different spots.

Please pay your tent fees. I am going to have tents paid for by June 1st. No matter whether that is 1 tent to 4 tents. I am letting all the people helping significantly have a free tent space. I feel that is at least something for their time and effort.:)


I would like to be able to post ahead of time most of the people racing and their boats and what class. Then people can start lining up their bets. Then when boats arrive and setup on Friday all the locals can get into the betting also. More bets means more winnings and more money to Charity.

The guys who said Performance Propeller, KLotz, and maybe a Motor auction please keep me posted. Would like to give them some publicity on other sites as well as this one.

THANKS!

[fasteddie]

Roger,

Let me know what you need and how many, I will take care of them and any banners or signs you are wanting to do.

Ed

[river rocket]

I would like to do a little fishing if I make the trek down, anyone know how the fishing is in this area?

[MODVP22]

[Chummy]

gearing up now so I am ready come August :D :D

[lqdegl1]

before they commit to coming. first they would like to know about how many boats are coming. and how much use they would be. so it will probably be june before theres an answer.there budget was cut this year to go to events.especially unsanction events.but if theres enough interest there willing to send me down with a couple of 55 gallon drums and a case of oil.

[95RapidRiot]

THANKS!

Gas prices are hurting everyone. :(

I will try to let you know my guess on boats before then. If I forget please send me a PM. I appreciate the help. :)

[RBT]

Six river rockets are confirmed from Canada, one Quartershot, and maybe an Allison or 2... and we all run Alisyn oil, as one of us is the Canadian distributor.

[95RapidRiot]

Great! :D


6-9 boats from Michigan right now.

[95RapidRiot]

There will also be some Big Inflatable Toys there for those that want to bring the family. This will also give the local kids some more things to do. Hopefully this will also help getting a bigger crowd for the races. They have 9 different things to do. They are not going to setup everything. They have a obstacle course, slides(water), bounce houses and some others. Let me know if there are some favorites. This company is also local.

Still working on the shirts.

We have 17 spaces confirmed for the tents.

Working on a couple big over the road banners also for the event.

THANKS!

[95RapidRiot]

Shirts will be white and 100% cotton. I am guessing a 150 shirts with the following sizes.

Sizes: Just another Guess????
15 Small, 15 Medium, 40 Large, 60 XL, 15 XXL, and 5 XXXL


Again these are being done by a local Carrollton company. Also please give input on numbers for the sizes. I have heard maybe more XXL.

THANKS!

[95RapidRiot]

Getting new design for shirts. I will post them when I get them.

Also trying to get a couple big over the road banners.

Right now still only getting 2 - 40'x80' tents. Have about 17 spots being used for boats.

City Council approved 4 Porta Toilets and a Dumpster for us free. Very nice on their part!

I will be paying for everything the first of June.


THANKS!

[YELLOWSS]

how about gray shirts instead of white..

[95RapidRiot]

Getting another quote and design for shirts. Same company that does the S&F shirts.:thumbsup: I will post design. Still need input on sizes. I did make a small change.

10 Small, 20 Medium, 40 Large, 55 XL, 20 XXL, and 5 XXXL

Two 40'X80' Tents


THANKS!

[RUDERIOT]

Roger you're doing a great job & it's much apreciated by everyone that has had so much fun at past Rumbles. My junk is coming along well & we'll be there if it's not broke. I'll help with tech & whatever else you need. Thanks for the hard work!!

[YELLOWSS]

bump ttt
can't wait

[95RapidRiot]

New Shirt pics. Shirts are Gildan 100% Cotton and all White.

I would like to Thank Maureen for the help!!!!: :cheers:

Kicking around the idea of a pre-sale on the shirts????

Very nice looking shirt.

[RUDERIOT]

Killer looking shirt Roger & Maureen! A pre sale would be a good idea.

[YELLOWSS]

looks awesome man!!!! great work!!!!

[95RapidRiot]

Maureen gave me the tip on who to get to do the shirts. This is the same company that does the S&F shirts. It is Zubrick T-Shirts and they are great! Very talented! I had a basic idea and they did the rest. They are also very nice to work with. Top notch all the way. :thumbsup:

I am glad you guys like them.

My only concern in doing a pre-sale is I would probably have to charge for shipping.

Any advice appreciated.

THANKS!

[pyro]

I can hear the river, calling me back again... ;)

http://i26.tinypic.com/1hqrt3.jpg

[95RapidRiot]

That is a gorgeous pic!!!!!!:thumbsup:

Thanks Pyro!

[delawarerick]

If the shirt sales help with the event alot would purchase even if they cant make it. Promoting performance boat events insures there will be more to come. I am in transition and inbetween two locations but I sure would purchase a shirt if available. Rick .02

[95RapidRiot]

Do you think $20 plus $2 to cover shipping is fair? They will be $20 at the event.

I would gladly Pre-Sale if that seems fair? Right now the Grant is covering Insurance, 2 Tents, Half the Total cost of the T-Shirts, and Plaques.

All extra proceeds go to the "Shop with a Cop" local charity.

[fasteddie]

Let us know when we can place orders.

Ed

[Big Johnson V8]

20.00 sounds like a good deal, better than Nascar:thumbsup:

[95RapidRiot]

I will be posting actual shirt pics tomorrow. I will start a new post.

1 Shirt $22 shipped.
2 Shirts $42 shipped.
3 or More Shirts Free shipping at $20 each.
All shipping USPS Parcel Post.




Everything else is pretty much all done for the Point Park River Run.

THANKS!

[Gray455]

Roger, this sounds like a lot of fun! I hope that Jamie, Ethan and Myself can make it down there with you guys.

[95RapidRiot]

That would be great!

I hope you can make it with your sweet looking Taylor Jet! :cheers:

[YELLOWSS]

i haven't decided which powerhead i'm going to run... lake racer is max of 150 lbs comp..
don't know which one will be faster.... my 260 has 150 lbs. my other 260 has been cut to drag specs, but i don't know how it will run at 150 lbs comp.... might be a pig on pump gas out of the hole... i have to do some testing i guess..

roy

[BigRedAlli]

I have not book a room, just tent spaces.

Hey man that fat chick had the HOTTEST friend the Rumble had ever seen...how was I to know that my killer charm was being received by the wrong person.

Either way that chick was a HUGE.



Allright so who's in???

I heard there is a VERY heavy hitter heading up from the south that should pretty much have anyone covered???

Yammer you out there???? You and your Ally buddy bring that new boat down for an ass kicking??
I talked to your friend WarlockFag and he said he heard you are going so he is in. He got a new party boat and it might be the start barge!!!!

I heard baby face from long island "No-nut" and his dad are bailing so at least the 20 year old local chicks are free for the picking.

Killer Charm?:rolleyes: I haven't heard of a heavy hitter yet...hmmmmm...
I also heard Wing Nut won't be making it, new job. Yammer is going to make it this year?

[Jeff "Yammer"]

Ya we might make it ...... We actually just talked about it last night.
Just a little ProMag so ......
Might just come this year. Killed me not to go last year but ...

What are the classes and **** this year. Haven't been on this site in ages.

Yammer

PS.... I hope there is a NoN HP motor class. Then this new Ally' will run. We'll see as we get closer. Going to get the new boat in the water next weekend we hope. All depends on the owners bank book. Nice to just work on a boat and not worry about paying for it for a change. Though its killing me not having one ...

[95RapidRiot]

We have 5 rooms at the Best Western so far for our group. Possibly a couple more! There are more coming without boats also that have already got rooms.

Can't wait! :thumbsup:

[NVRFASTENUFF]

Roger, was one of these mine? I cant remember if you got one for me or not! Is that where I ended up stayin last year?

Thanks

Real job, that's funny. Ronnie told me last night all you have to do is tell the boss "I can't remember which pump is premium" and you'll have the week off:eek::eek:


Glad to hear things are going good for you kid. Now all you need to do is figure out the aerodynamics of duct tape:D:D:D

[wing nut]

the more i work the more chance there is of my buying a nice a-boat to come racing with!:thumbsup:

aerodynamics of duct tape? your powerhead is the size of a industrial maytag:eek:.. make the cowl more aerodynamic. then we'll tweak it with the duct tape :cheers:


scott

[Jeff "Yammer"]

Well ..... looking more and more like I/We may make it down.

Sub 475lb XR2002 w/15 ................ either a Basically stock 225PM or might even have a bit of a motor under it. Just got a call about that possibility a few minutes ago. That boat would run hard with a S3 2.7 donor motor for the weekend.

We'll see. But looking good so far ......

What is a boat count so far ? Any tent space left ?

Yammer

[RUDERIOT]

I don't know about the count but would like to know also. There is tent space available, contact Rapid Riot (Roger) for details.

[YELLOWSS]

anyone hear from chummy?????? he can chase the young chics!!!!!!! he has dropped off the earth... sounds like we need some lake racers!!!!!!!
how long is the poker run round trip???????? i missed it last year.

[95RapidRiot]

It was 20 something miles I believe? A lot of fun. :cheers:

[RBT]

Chummy is grounded from surfing the internet while at work!.

[YELLOWSS]

Where did you make your reservations at Roy???

[YELLOWSS]

the days inn marty!!!!!!!!

roy

[john4utvols]

Marty is that the same hotel we stayed at in 06. Where yall staying at.

[john4utvols]

He also told me of a concern he had heard about from the local police. Normally no Alcohol is allowed in the park except for us and other events. Last year there was Alcohol plainly in site to passing locals and they were not too happy. Then they made complaints. He was not talking about a beer or two. He said it was big hard liquor bottles. We definitely have to make sure all Alcohol is not right out in the open for all to see. If we don't take care of this we could also be banned from having any alcohol in the park. :eek: :eek: :eek: We just have to be smart about it.

I know in 06, there was a keg and beer floating around everywhere. The cheerleaders looked more drunk than anyone, the police seemed like they didn't care (Hell I thought the police was having as much fun as all of us). :leaving: I guess a holy roller must have saw how much fun we was having and got mad and told on us.:cheers:

Just got the OK, We are going :thumbsup:.

[95RapidRiot]

I need some help setting up the the Poker Run stops. Chummy won't be able to make it. :(
I can cover the stops just need someone to pick them out.

THANKS!
Roger

[john4utvols]

Hey Roy there is no Days inn on the list, is it near the park. We stayed at the comfort inn last time, and had no trouble out of the hotel, and believe me we got loud. Where is everyone staying.

[RBT]

Ya where is everyone staying?

Got word too that a FAST Allison is coming to spank us all!

[BRB]

be good to see it again

[RBT]

Brian you running?

[BRB]

[RBT]

LOL, ya I am the same. New motor got 2.5 hours on it, supposed to rain all weekend here, and I have a few issues to work through. It will be there... come hell or highwater but I have my work cut out!.

[BRB]

there's plenty of beer to be drink though. lol..... I have found out through the years i dont break as many parts watchin blake and the boys run. lol. lol

[RBT]

Blakes boat is in my garage... beside mine... in more peices than mine..... With all the rain this coming weekend I shold have them both finished.

[95RapidRiot]

RBT bring both boats down in pieces and maybe some of us State side will have a chance! :cheers:

[RBT]

That might be the case, either way if the guys that say they are coming do, both of us are going to need some big bottles.

[95RapidRiot]

Do you know who the secret "Big Stud from South" is yet? Phil said he may have some Phenom coming?

Is it Dixon?

I talked with the Park Manager a couple days ago and he said the river is a little rough right now from some recent rains. Hopefully it clears up before we get there. He said the river has been up & down all summer from the storms.

[YELLOWSS]

i think the hotel changed names... it is the first hotel off the exit!!! atleast that is what i was told....... also told the waffle house sits out in front of it!!!!!!!.... i don't know if my boat is going to be ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i put the new 15" mid on and i'm a little to high on the pad.... took it for a couple of runs, and someone called the police on me!!!!!!!!!! anyway the boat is way to wild on the big end where it is!!!!
i have to change jack plates, and the motor is not right yet either..... running out of time, and i have a lot of other stuff going on too!!!!
not looking good for me.....

roy

[pyro]

MMMmmmm, Waffle House... They don't have those up here...

Can't wait.

Where's the hotel party(s) at? I know the Days Inn (or whatever is out in front of the W.H.) is the hot spot, but I always show up too late?

Where y'all gonna be at?

[95RapidRiot]

We have 6 rooms at the Best Western. :thumbsup:

[YELLOWSS]

the river is fine right now!!!!! best it has been all year!!!!!!!

roy

[95RapidRiot]

Roy, that is great news to hear about the River!


THANKS!
Roger

[BigRedAlli]

Looks like the Best Western, Hampton Inn, Comfort Inn, and the Super 8, are all with in walking distance of each other, just off I-71. The Comfort Inn is the one right behind the Waffle House.

Just wondering for the pro mod class does the boat need to have 3 seats in it , i have a river rocket with the race fairing so it is 3 seater capable.


Thanks

Has to have 3 seats in it.

[RBT]

Has to have 3 seats in it.

What if I duct tape you and Paul to the race fairing?

[rpm racing]

What if I duct tape you and Paul to the race fairing?

Well then you will go even slower than you will by yourself.

[RBT]

Is that possible?

[JLR]

are you guys sure on the seat thing, I need to know.


Thanks

[rpm racing]

are you guys sure on the seat thing, I need to know.


Thanks

Yes I am 100% sure. There is no other way to inforce it.

Bring your back seat and leave the race fairing at home.

[YELLOWSS]

bad new for me... i have a viberation in my lower unit... it's in the shop...
was going to put my 20" mid and my 260 back on.... took off the cut motor and my 15" mid. then i blew out my right knee friday night... so i have a boat without a mid on it....
it would be a stretch just to get my 260, on and going for the poker run!!!!!!!!!!!
i will be there either way.... don't this suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


roy

[95RapidRiot]

Sorry about your luck Roy.:( I hope you can get something together. I really hope your knee is not a long term injury.

Hopefully I will have mine running by the time I leave.
Either way see you at Point Park.:thumbsup:

[BigRedAlli]

I stayed out of the water this weekend so I wouldn't tear anything up...:thumbsup:

Hope you guys get things back together, and take it easy on that knee Roy... See ya'll Thur. night!!! :cheers:

Roy, if you have to, throw everything in the truck and we'll get it together when you get there.

[YELLOWSS]

thanks guys.... i bolted my old mid on last night.... thanks to brenda helping me......

she had grease all over her.. it was clasic man.. good women are hard to fine!!!!!


roy

[john4utvols]

Marty, Roy what hotel are yall staying at. Do we need to wait and get a room Friday when we get there. We should arrive by 12, anybody up for a ride. Marty tell Tom he is a Puss if he doesn't bring the SS.

[YELLOWSS]

i don't know!!!!! i got the number from a friend... it is behind the waffle house!!!!!!!
here is the number 502-732-9301.... this is where i'm staying..

i called them up... it is the economy inn behind the waffle house

Marty, Roy what hotel are yall staying at. Do we need to wait and get a room Friday when we get there. We should arrive by 12, anybody up for a ride. Marty tell Tom he is a Puss if he doesn't bring the SS.

I'll just drive up and get a room at which ever place has a good spot for the boat, and a plug in handy...;) I don't know if we are welcome at the one behind the Waffle house...:o Maybe they forgot by now!!!:D Give me a call when ya'll hit town.

Is Ricky comming with you???

[MODVP22]

Got another STV from Northeastern Ohio coming now:thumbsup:

[pyro]

The boats can be left at the park, there will be security to watch the park at night.
Having trucks and trailers in a booked-up hotel parking lot is a sure-fire way to be a real anchor for everyone else.

I'll probably tent camp or crash in my truck, so your stuff will be safe. ;)

[pyro]

Did you guys read my thread about the Madison run, and a photo shoot?

I'm wondering if we're doing the usual run to the Madison bridge and back on Friday after grudge drags.

So who's going to line up with me? I'd like to run a few close races. :D

[SSTOM]

Marty, Roy what hotel are yall staying at. Do we need to wait and get a room Friday when we get there. We should arrive by 12, anybody up for a ride. Marty tell Tom he is a Puss if he doesn't bring the SS.

Thanks for the post! :D In organizing this from Michigan everyone has been GREAT to talk to and work with! I can't express how much I have appreciated everyones help from Carrollton in setting this up.

I also appreciate all those who have volunteered and suggested ideas to help with the Point Park River Run! It will be a fantastic time and I hope we have a really good turnout!

THANKS TO ALL!!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Well, this sucks, but I might not be able to come down this year. I was looking forward to it as usual. I have to see what happens by the end of the week. Later, Dave

Warlock, you need to show, you don't want RPM to steal the can lady from you do you?

[rpm racing]

WTF....Dave??? Change your manpon and get in your truck. I will even bring you a pink Polo golf shirt this year.

[WARLOCK]

It is a work issue. For some reason, most of our freight comes in early in the week. This week, most of it was held up on the west coast, and won't be in till late in the week. (which obviously F**** me up). I'm not happy about this. The boat is ready to go, and I just put u-joints in the truck last weekend for the trip. Like I said, we'll see what happens. Later, Dave

[john4utvols]

That nerve is sure easy to find........ Like I said we can run them Friday, and then on Sat. Don't be scared Roy is having some lower unit problems :D LOL...........

Man...I have no idea what a "corn-hole" tournament is...but I'm sure RPM is already licking his chops to get down there. Being the way he is and all. Later, Dave

[rpm racing]

BRB-Brian do you know or does anyone know if Craig Alstott is going to make it again to hand out beatings in the races???

Warfag...you better just get your pansy ass there before you worry yourself about me and any "cornhole" tournament.

[pyro]

Is that like a fart contest?

[YELLOWSS]

guys i might not be able to make it either!!!!!!!!!!!! my X got word of this, and she was going to watch the kids all weekend!!!!! i took them last weekend, but anything to mess up a good time!!!!!!!!!! my knee is a mess!!!!! boat is half together!!!!! just need to mount, and hook up the powerhead... reprogram the pcu... other family issues...

[MODVP22]

I'm in for Cornhole..definately!

[pyro]

Ah, I see. We call it Tailgate Toss...

[fasteddie]

Damn Brian, I know who you are rooming with. I wouldn't talk to loud about any Corn Hole'n (hahaha!):eek: Specially you being a Kentuckian and all.

Better give Craig a call, sounds like somebody's calling him out. Maybe Craig and Ronnie will both show up and run. That Euro might bring home some funds from lake racer as well.

[outboards4life]

I'm in for Cornhole..definately!

geez, it's beanbags. and I will definitely play. I can bring a set of boards and bags as well.

Roy, didn't you bring the boy's last year? I'm sure they will have a good time...:thumbsup: And after a few cold one's, you'll forget all about that knee!!! :D

[YELLOWSS]

i brought them last year, but brenda helped me out!!!! she is not sure she is going now!!!!! it would be tough to run them down on one leg....... they are six now and very fast!!!!!! i'm working on it marty!!!!!!!!!!! i still have reservations!!!!!!


roy

[rpm racing]

Ya, I guess I am calling him out. I don't think he can win the Super Mod class which is Any Hull, Any Fuel, No NOS or Any Pressurized Bottles in the boat (pro fuel class)

I hope he shows he is always REAL fast.

[fasteddie]

Sounds like its gonna be a fast weekend. Hope a bunch of the heavy hitters show up.

[ProComp]

Well I believe JLR is on his way. Mapquest has it at 20 hours each way.
Be nice if there was something for longest distance travelled :)
Red & White River Rocket

[BRB]

dont know if he'll have time, butttttttttt nobody in the country works on or gets their setup any better than the Alstotts. should be a good weekend only hotter than hell. see yall there. ED i gots a special corn holein' for ya. Yeeeeeeeeeee hawwwwwwwwwwwwww--- welcome to kentucky. lol.lol

[YELLOWSS]

guys the boat is running, and brenda is coming too.... i have to pick the boys up from school on friday, then we are heading down..... should be there by 6-630....
no racing for me, but atleast i will be boating!!!!!!!

tom your not going to take that from a trader are you???? spank him....
i think marty can take both of you!!!!!!!!! if not i know cristi can!!!!!!!!!!


hahahahahahha

roy

[john4utvols]

:leaving:TRADER :p There for a minute Roy I thought I scared ya out of coming. I'm trying my best to make sure Tom brings his boat, even if I have to race him. You got a small wheel I can run, all I have is a 26.

[YELLOWSS]

hell yeah what do you want!!! a 20p chopper, 22 leading edge drag, 23 worked ron hill drag, 23 tillman drag, 24 drag!!!!!!!!!! bringing a few anyway, so you can try and decide!!!!!! fat shaft or small??????

roy

[YELLOWSS]

rob if i bring a merc ecu can you check it for me?????? it is a older digital box!!
have different data on what it is, and if it works...


thanks,
roy

[john4utvols]

Small shaft Roy, I'm suppose to have unlimited rev.

[pyro]

Roy, I've got a couple of wheels you might want to try too.
I would love to test drive that 22 Leading Edge and the 23 Tillman.

I'll have the laptop and the Brucato interface with me if anyone has a PCU they need to tune.

[YELLOWSS]

thanks pyro, i will have my laptop with the pcu software too!!!! maybe we can compare some notes on it!!!! the tillman has thin blades not a everyday prop.. i think the leading edge prop runs bigger than what it is... i think it is to big for me in 800'.. i think i ran it 8100 or so at 85 mph in about 700'.. i has a lot of bite to it.. the little 23 ron hill is mean though... it is a small dia though.. maybe 13 3/4.... it is a blast!!!!

roy

[Dutch]

take your english books so you can have north/south spelling contests.

[ProComp]

bump - anyone there with laptop and camera?

[jphii]

I just wanna know how bad Dixon smoked everybody.

[fasteddie]

He and Rich Sernic ran in the finals of I believe Super Mod and Unlimited. Alan Zulke's blown Sanger Hydro won Jet and V-Drive class which ended up combined with the Lake racer boats.
Would have loved to see Dixon line up with Zulke in a grudge run.

[OUTBACK OUTBOARDS]

Thanks to everyone who had a hand in putting on this event. Had a Great time !! It was good to finally meet the Canadian crowd. Good group of people, should try & get them down here more often. By the way, that Canadian Beer is pretty Good, as far as I can remember. Hope ta see everyone in Jasper. THX Again Michael

[WARLOCK]

Once again, GREAT time!!! Thanks to all for putting this deal together and great to meet some new faces. I'm still trying to remember Friday. Later, Dave

[YELLOWSS]

a great time... thanks roger, and everyone who helped, also thanks to the city of carrollton to let us have the event there.... the canada guys are great...... phil you need to get another boat man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dave how much gas did you burn this weekend????????? 200 gallons!!!LOL


roy

[WARLOCK]

I'm not too sure of the gas total, but I'm sure my empty aluminum cans will help take care of the gas bill. Later, Dave
