we will be there fri. sat. at the bilmar hotel, (they have a SLOPPY JOES) and am fightin the urge to go to the Alma deal sun. (princess doolittle has an issue with that part, may let Guss do the drivin so she can make work mon.) lookin foreward to some serious HP, pit walkin, and my ever jubalant compadre Parker's shinanagans. H2O nut? B.L.? (i need to chat w/you on some mopar woe's) saw some big assed hulls on I95 today headed south, there's just somethin about a 36' tunnel w/a pair of #6's that sends my imagination into afterburner! :eek: TTFN fun. :cool:

is for 5'-6' and the wind is coming from over there. :rolleyes: just watched the weather channel and upper level clouds blowin off the gulf eastward across the state. should be some serious air cought everybody. is this in the bay, i've never been to one there, Parker said something about the pier, so i'm guessing they'll be running around in front of the airport. still thats 20 or 30 miles of open water, may get a tad "bumpy" ;) 6:44 am gonna run a couple trailers around and pick up my check 10ish and cut out, i'll check back before i leave, 9045458925 cell, o and there supposed to be a supersport race between heats and Parkers gonna be the pace boat for a Le Mans start! :eek: fun out.

Must be why I saw Team Lavey Craft heading east through Louisiana on I-10 yesterday.

Glad to see them back this year... under new management? I might just go down there tonight and check out the hardware. Maybe get out on the water to watch tomorrow, will have to see how rough it is since I'll have the tots with me :)

Parker, they are trying some new ideas to fill in the gaps in the action for the spectators. There should be 5 or 6 SS boats down there. Mike

Parker, it seems very interesting at best. I hope it works out for them but that water is no place for me and I like it rough! My money is on Jeff Pira, he'll run the Balckbird in anything. I hope all ends well and nobody gets hurt in a stuff if it gets rough.

Well looks like my boat ride cant make it :( So I will drive over and hang out on land and check out the boats in the pits and watch the worlds only wheeling flag boat with a driver holding a bottle of Maddog and wearing a purple wig :eek:
