Meet at Port Barrington between 10:00 A.M. and 11:00 A.M.

River Run details to follow,There will be some type of event with ???? prize to first place(can't let ya know everything this early).

We will have a late Lunch at Port Barrington Bar & Grill.
I am working on that sponsorship right now....probably be free food with cash bar:).As for time I will let them pick that and time will be posted later...probably 3:00 P.M.

Launch ramp sponsorship I have already so its free to all who attend.
Feel free to launch some where else and come on into the marina and find a slip to park in and walk up to the parking lot,this time of year there will be plenty of parking.
There may be gas on site but I won't know that til closer to the date(like the week of).
The locks close on the 31st of october so you will have to tow down if your on the upper fox or chain.
This also means less traffic for us.

There will be no rain date,this is rain or shine,It will happen irregardless of weather...either sit in the restaurant and enjoy each others company or get wet for 1st place if it rains.

Anyone wishing to sponsor this run or contribute let me know.

More details to follow as they develop:)

Hope to see all my friends there !!:)

OOOHH Kirk and Bill!

You Devils!

Euro or Quartermaster?

Old friends or No friends?

Run all day or Run 2 times in Pro Gas

Drive to Barrington, IL or to Plymouth, NC

(notice how each question elegantly gets longer!)

This is just too much pressure on me to decide so quickly. After Jasper, I am ready to drive the Quartermaster myself if I can gain a little seat time. Sam Baker showed me the boats potential and the team confirmed many ideas we had into facts for me. Plymouth is a great chance to race for me with no negative consequence and lots of pluses for next year.

But then, my heart is still with you Blarney boys and KK and Bill have always been extra special to me. I'd send Lori with the Euro , as she could stomp you as well as I can, then I could go get my butt stomped at Plymouth, but then I know which of youZ guyZ (except KK for sure) would be hitting on her after 2 beers! So that is not an option. What a delima! I need to clear my mind with a Kettle One wash, straight up, no stuck nuthin' with tooyh picks, all in a tub glass.

Hey Scott Gilmore! I might need a helping hand on the crew if I go to Plymouth. I need a week to decide!

And I would love watching her stomp some of us into the shoreline:)

Go race buddy...Wish ya the best of luck and see ya at the next party!

Port Barrington Bar & Grill has made the decision to carry premium gas through the winter months for the snowmobilers.
So last weekend they picked up 700 gallons and sold 100 last weekend. This coming weekend the weather is supposed to be bad so they should have between 500 and 600 gallons and the owners son (Dave) there to sell it to us from between 9 and 10 a.m. on!
So you don't have to haul or trailer fuel you can buy there.
Remember we are only runnin 32 miles so ya don't need much, please patronize the vacility.
