[Jeff "Yammer"]

Well I hope Tony is good for the Rumble to be held on Aug. 4, 5 & 6 this year ( the first real weekend of Aug. as it is every year )
There's aready a Thread going on it ..... in the Events section !!!

I'll be there helping Tony do the Drags ...... even gonna enter a class or two this year ....... maybe :p
And then there's the Can-Am .... Keg Tent ..... !!!!! Allmost time for us to make our order again this year Dave !!!!

Lets Get Ready To ........ RUMBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wing nut]

ill come if i can get one of those drinks that never gets empty again!

scott

[WARLOCK]

I'm gonna try to make it this year. We'll see.
Wingnut.... where the hell ya been? Have not heard from ya in long time? Tell your mom and dad I said Hi!!
Yammer I'll call ya tonight. Later, Dave

[tdogcarter]

Dave, You have the attitude this year of "WE'LL SEE"
What you get a new boat and then you don't want to drive it.

[Fl Boy in ILL]

NEED FIRM DATES!!!!!!

Looks like the "Official as it gets" KDBA and SLDBA schedule came out so I need firm Rumble dates. Would like to do it all but there looks like conflicts!!!

Here is the link to the posted schedule
www.kdba.net

then go to schedule

Rick

[wing nut]

dave ive been around, working ALOT lately. now school just started too. did you move into the new house?

scott

[WARLOCK]

Wing Ding,
We close on selling our current house tommorow. We are going to rent our house back, then in April or so, we'll move in the river house.
Trey, how did you guages turn out? We are gonna have to race this year!
Later, Dave

[tdogcarter]

I will see my boat next weekend. I am assuming they look great, no problems with putting them in. If I go and pick it up, I will try and swing by your place. Gordie might be going to Lansing and will meet me around the I80 & I294 area. I'll race you with one engine against one engine. No problem.
That would be alittle more fair given the weight of each boat.

Already there is speculation about the rumble from Dave

[RBT]

I'm in Yammer
Hopefully we can get more of Team CANADA down ( there were a few BOOMS, before in testing ).
I may even have my boat by then............

RT

[WARLOCK]

Trey,
Absolutely no speculation from me! I'll be there, I was joking. Hey R.T., I'll bring some big booms again if Tony let me. Like Yammer said...LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!! Later, Dave

[WARLOCK]

Look at Tdogs post..already an excuse for losing! His RACE STV against my 21 foot pleasure boat. Waa Waa... Later, Dave

[Instigator]

he was moving the dates to I think first weekend in September.

[tdogcarter]

RACE STV, SHIOT, I got a 2.5 xs on the back stock production merc motor under warranty on a EURO, yes it is a 4 letter word, but race is not he first word that would come into mind. A seven letter word would and that is cruiser. 2 batteries, a stereo, full interior, not a light lay up.
Hmm against 2 non-stock engines, kevlar layup, race hatch.
I will grudge race you got no problems with that. I will have my saftey gear there.

[WARLOCK]

Trey,
Do you want some cheese with that WHINE!!! I'm just kidding, I don't even know how to drive my boat yet. (Yammer has not taught me) Later, Dave

[Baja18]

Like Dave, I might be there and posibly race too :p But your going to have to give me a head start. And actully if Tony plans it for Labor Day weekend (the first weekend in Sept.) it would be better for me and anyone else running KDBA and SLDBA.
Dave call me sometime......I'm still waitin for your call to meet for breakfast on your way home from picking up the new boat :rolleyes: :D .......you upset me so much that I lost all my hair..........Brad.

[tdogcarter]

Dave,

I guess it won't matter if it's on labor day weekend, I won't be able to go to the Rumble then. Was assuming it was first or second week in August.
So I guess I should stop my WINEING, and just step up to the plate. After that then we can have a race to see who can get it on the trailer fastest. And that means NO OTHER OUTSIDE HELP. Because if I remember right it was what how many people to get yours on the trailer because you couldn't drive it properly. 8 or so. I cannot remember, but there was at least 3 on the side I was helping from. HE HE HE HE HE HE

[OntarioStreamin]

I'm in...
We need to get a huge convoy haeded down at the same time.
Whats it 7hr oneway?

I would have gone last year but my truck sucked large!

[wing nut]

tell tony that everyone starts school and college around the first weekend in sept. if he can keep it in august it would be MUCH better!!

R.B.T. you 'may' have your boat by then.. i dont think so we are racing srv Vs. lazer 380.. you MUST bring your boat. :eek:

scott

[Jeff "Yammer"]

Yep I'm out if its in Sept. too !!!! I hope it will be on the Aug. 4-6 weekend.
Warlock ..... I'll bet on your boat ( propped right ) against a Euro on the Rumble drag course !!!!!!!
OntarioStreamin - Its a 10hr drive from my house here in Brooklin. I'll be leaving the Wed. night again and not leaving the Rumble untill monday am as usual.
RBT .... we'll have to see if we can "Bunnie-Hop" some one elses van this year . I'll have the truck down there with my boat on it ...... YOU BETTER TOO :mad:

Jeff

PS ..... tdogcarter, its not nice to say that you'll race a handy-capped guy. Give the guy a break. See this is why S&F pisses me off sometimes. Have some respect !!!!! :mad:
Hahaha .... just kidding ..... I'd race the gympy jack-ass too. :D

[edge98]

I will be there whenever it is. :D

[BRB]

may break out he old ghost== well see if the money holds out!!!!!!!!!!



Brian

[speedracer]

Its only Janaury and you guys are already getting pumped up, OK,heres what the deal Is, before I can set a date I have to get a Insurance quote and put togather a expense budget then apply for the funding from the city, the city has to meet and have a vote as to how much they can afford at spend on the event, they will then tell me yes or no and theres not much I can do till then.I talked to Gator some time ago about doing It In sept because the weather and the River are almost always perfect then, but know a lot of you cant make It then because of school , so If we get the funding It will go off sometime In aug. I want to wait till ODBA sets there dates so as not to conflict with one of there race dates. NOTE, hope The ODBA shows us the same courtesy and does not reschedule one of there races over ours like they did last year. Every body just hold on for now and It will all come togather soon. Thanks Tony.

[RBT]

Wing Nut..... I have been working on it EVERY weekend, for mths now. It is coming along now.
I have all the rigging, and 2 motors for it.
It better be ready long before the Rumble!.

Yammer do you not think we can bunny hop your truck?


RT

[Jeff "Yammer"]

BRB ..... Hey bring it on !! It will be fun to line up against my old boat.

Speedracer ...... Tell them that Canada loves there little city and the water they allow us to tear up. It wouldn't be the same not to be at The Rumble on the first weekend in Aug. every year !!!! :confused: Tony never has there been an ODBA reguler come to the Rumble. They can not be expected to change a race date due to the fact that a boat get-together is on at the same time as well as the fact that they have sponsors and specific sites booked for specific times.

RBT ..... Believe me , I have tried a few times and the F150 wont bunny hop. It jumps well but does not bunny hop.

Jeff

[WARLOCK]

You guys, whats with all this handi-cap B.S.? I always thought I was just one of the guys and you guys looked past that. I'm not sure I want to hang with people that make me feel inferior for one reason or another. You guys just make me want to cry and go to the movies and watch Breakback Mnt. Just leave me alone. Later, Dave

[Baja18]

Dont worry Dave I'm sure Jeff can think of some "special" ways to comfort you and make you feel really good about yourself:p ...........................Brad

[wing nut]

ill bring tissues to the rumble for just you dave.

scott

[Jeff "Yammer"]

Dave you know like you, just cause your a complete ******* doesn't mean anything to those who realy care. Hahahaha ..... just kidding we like you because you allways have beer. Wait ....... cause you ............. ah nevermind.
Stop picking on my little friend you guys !!!! :mad: Just don't think that you get the "Blue" colored spot at the dock this year.

So who's bringing what ... ?

Wing-No-Nuts ..... can't wait to hear you run your mouth this year. We need to drag race to keep you in check. Hey you gonna come up here sledding or what ?

Yammer

[wing nut]

hey jeff i PMd you and tryed calling but your cell # is different. i want to come up there and go sledding but when is it still "sledding weather"?

o yea yammer... are we going to switch boats this year too?:)
scott

[JWS]

dont care when it is. Its a great time!!! see y`all on da river.

[WARLOCK]

I'm bringin my boat and probably a couple of beers!!! Later, Dave

[tdogcarter]

That's more like it, your back in the spirit.
What a couple of beers pressurized in a circular object with lines running through a cooler to chile the beverage.

[WARLOCK]

Trey, did you pick up your boat yet? The river and lake are thawed out by us. Zastrow called me and said he expects to see me out there Friday. Later, Dave

[tdogcarter]

Friday I will be picking up my boat. I bet mine will float really well, but going right now, it is only what the paddle will do.
Depending on how the water is in Oconomowoc, WI I may get my engine on earlier than I expected. It was all about the water or ice on the water up there. If it thaws early and there are no chunks, I have no problems taking it up there, everything is paid for, just have to get it mounted.

[WARLOCK]

Good deal! Thats one sweet looking Euro! Later, Dave

[wing nut]

i wonder if this year (if it happens) will be bigger then last, or if alot of people will bail out.. as useuall.

then again.. i have the "key to the city" so we can go whenevr we want!! hahaha;)

scott

[Jeff "Yammer"]

Its not the key to the city you need. You need a key to something else that lives in the city !!!!!!!!! :eek:

Yammer

PS .... I'll be bringing my boat and Drew !!! Maybe a Keg of good beer .... not sure.

[wing nut]

ill be bringing the laser.. and maybe a 10x20 tent.

scott

[WARLOCK]

Wingnut,
You need a key to that Chastity belt you little girlfriend wears. Although judging by the progress you made with her last year, You might be wearing one too. Later, Dave

[Jeff "Yammer"]

I was thinking the same thing. !!!!!! .

:rolleyes:

[wing nut]

I was thinking the same thing. !!!!!! .

:rolleyes:


easy guys.. she has a b/f. now back to boats :p

[WARLOCK]

easy guys.. she has a b/f. now back to boats :p
Don't worry little Wing Ding, I am a locksmith. Later, Dave

[tdogcarter]

If you have a junk truck.
You have about 7 months to get a new one or bum a ride, or fix the situation. I think Yammer might have flown in one year to one of the airports nearby.
Get the convoy together and combine the bodies with the vehicles.
Thats probably what we will do in our area.
Unless Warlock is leaving on Tuesday to go down there, he seems pumped and primed, ready to get the drink on. He might be worried his spot will be taken if hes not one of the first ones there.

[P man]

A couple of us are hoping to make it down in a cube van. Sounds like lots of fun!
Get the Canadian Convoy rolling! (with cb radios and everything;))

[tdogcarter]

ODBA schedule is out and on August and 5th & 6th they are in Plymouth, NC
Well there goes all the East coasters. Well guess it will be a Canadian and Midwesterners party on that weekend.

[WARLOCK]

As usual! Later, Dave

[Jeff "Yammer"]

It doesn't matter that they have a race that weekend. Not one of the ODBA's regulars EVER have come to the Rumble anyway. It will be just as popular no matter what race organisation holds a race that weekend or any other weekend.
I think Warlock has his own choice of spots anyway at the Rumble ...... Hell last year he kicked out a family of 5 that were there a day earlier than him. Just cuase he has that little blue sticker on his car/boat he thinks he owns the best parking spots :rolleyes:
I think we might get better spots this year ...........

Yammer

[Hiflyer]

Wrong Jeff, Missed the last 2 Rumbles due to conflict of the dates. Thats after being @ the first 3 & 1 of the Original Rumble attendees in White City. Certainly messes up my plans for the summer, have been looking forward meeting up with everybody again .............

[Jeff "Yammer"]

You may be the only one.
It would be nice to see you again though. I hope it will be on Aug. 4, 5 & 6 though. It seems to be a good date most every one I've talked to. Its up to Tony in the end though ............... you will never please every one.

Yammer

[wing nut]

last yr wasnt it the 2nd or 3rd week in aug? im pretty sure 2 yrs ago it was around there also.

scott

[Charlie M]

Hey Scott you would never believe who called me the other day:D

Are you gonna bring a boat this year? Or do you need to borrow one.

[wing nut]

saras calling you again charlie? hahahahahahahaaa

naa im going to bring my boat. this yr.

charlie paint your boat at least 1DAY before you trailer it so you dont get all those bug and sideways runs in that fancy paint work. ;)

scott

[T-REX]

Yammer, are U gunna have a bote this yeer???...I still have that azzwhoop'in ta deliver to ya, unless we have 6' sea'z agin, then I'll have ta hang on to it anuther yeer!!!...Wait, if it'z reel ruff, I'll juss set on tha bank wit Sharolyn!!!...Yup, soundz like a plan!!:rolleyes: .........Me an Loulla gunna try an make it this yeer...Loulla said she'z buy'in tha GRITS AND EGGS fer breakfast!!(gotta brang ya own catchup);)

[Baja18]

Scott, last year it was the last weekend in July.......give me a call to fill me in on your project.
Rex, I sure hope you and Linda make it this year!!!!! And while your at it drag Larry A's ass up there too!!!!!.................Brad

[speedracer]

They dont want to come up with all the funding It takes to pull It off, They called me today and want to meet again on fri so will know more then, But I got to say It dont look to good right now. Sorry.

[tdogcarter]

Wow, not having a rumble. That would suck. Hopefully they see the revenue it generates with the local businesses.

[Charlie M]

What we need to do here is show our support for the Rumble on the River


Last years rumble was small, however the water was perfect.

[wing nut]

tony, what kind of money are we talking? and if there is no tents then thats fine.. if they can only afford the insurance maybe?

scott

[JWS]

Is thereanyonone in Carrollton we can contact to express our support? Does the lady I met last year still work for the ecomomic development board? It would be A real loss to see such A well run event go down the chitter. If I can help in any way let me know.

[Jeff "Yammer"]

Well I'll be the first to say you can count me in for some donation money to get this going Tony. I know a tent or two were actually paid for ( I think .. ?? ) last year so this year can be the same. We don't need pizza and free beer. Just the insurance at the minimum ( unless you get as much or more than previous years )
Will a letter signed by all of us help ??

Let us know Tony .................. I DO NOT WANT THE RUMBLE TO DIE ................................................. EVER !!!!!!! :(

Jeff:confused:

[tdogcarter]

If the $$$ for insurance are paid for can it continue. If this is the case we need to come up with some sponsorship money and donations. I got no problem kicking into the pot to make this happen. Rumble cannot end this is a great weekend event.

[RBT]

Yup, what ever is required!.
Put Team Canada down for a tent too!

RT

[WARLOCK]

Like JWS said, is there anyone we can contact? If there is no organized Rumble, I think i'm going to go to Carrolton and go boating anyways. Anyone want to join. And just to show my appreciation to the town of Carrollton, I'll stay in Madison and trailer down to Carrollton to use the free ramp. Like Tony said, its like pulling teeth (if any are avaliable in Carrolton J/k) to get money out of the town. I certainly don't need a tent and I'm good with my own beer. I'm sure all will be fine, just let Tony work his magic. Later, Dave

[tdogcarter]

I'm in for just going down there during that time to boat on the Ohio, and have already asked permission to go which was granted. Maybe we can make it a chicagoland gathering down in KY. Looman you out there, or are you working today?

[pyro]

Let's do it. I'm in.

[wing nut]

let us know if there is anything we can do tony.


scott

[WARLOCK]

I just heard through the grapevine the the town of Carrollton is bitc(*** about funding again. It seems like every year Tony has to jump through hoops to make this thing happen in Carrollton. What do guys think of moving the Rumble to another location and see how Carrolton likes it. It seems like they always like all the income this event generates but never want to help out. I just think that maybe if Tony moves it to another location for one year, Carrollton will see how much revenue this little event generates. I, for one would'nt mind a change of pace, and it just might help out in end. Just think of that gas station owner over the bridge. How much money alone does he make for four days. Just a thought...What does everyone else think??? Later, Dave

[tdogcarter]

One thing to remember if we just all go down to Carrollton, normally the park does not allow alcohol, shouldn’t be a big deal with Dave, he told me he is cutting back on that stuff, he said something like overrated. Obviously on the water it is fine to have your drink of choice.

Moving the Rumble would be fine, we just have to find a site to accommodate the crowd, and get them to go. But we could run into the same things that Tony is. Insurance $$$, getting an officer Friendly like we have had there that does not really care what we do (to a point) and looks the other way when loud booms go off, and somehow people 3 towns away think there are terrorists nearby.

We would need a spokes person in whatever town or area to talk with the local yokels, and get everything approved, if we have a large gathering.

I will say the Site in Carrollton is perfect.

[WARLOCK]

I totally agree that Carrollton is perfect, but if they can't support this thing, why should we support them? I'm sure there any many places that would take our business and money. Carrollton obviously does not understand that sometimes it takes money to make money. Later, Dave

[JWS]

Warlock, I agree with some of your concerns RE: the town fathers of Carrollton,but it needs to be put into the proper perspective. The $$ the town puts up is owned by the good folks of Carrollton and they(residents) expect A good return on their investment. Remember what we are up against. Kentucky speedway is just a short ride down the road. Carrollton could probably schedule a tupperware party in the park on a nascar or IRL weekend and pull in hundreds of food storing maniacs with pockets full of $$ to spread around town. Ya, this i an exaggeration but my point is that there is competition for thse dollars.

Tony obviously knows the political climate the county and if we can help he will probably let us know how. I am a past member of our plan commission here in indiana and i know for sure that the local powers in Carroll county will atleast listen to Tony and the other voters in th area.

I met the gal that worked for the econ. dev. board last year and was very impressed with her interest in the event. She seemed to be a big supporter of the event but told me she is just staff to the actual board. However I believe her or her successors support could go a long way for us. I wanted to E-mail her last year to thank her for the support of herself and the board but couldnt find an address on the city or county website. If anyone knows what it is please post. Better late than never

Enough of my rambling for now,THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORTS TONY

[WARLOCK]

Trey,
I heard those booms last year myself, And was quite scared!
JWS,
If they want to schedule a tupperware event or whatever thats up to them, I understand. But this event definitely generates cashflow ie;Hotels, Alchohol, Food, GAS and whatnot. They also seem to love us when we are there, but like I said before, maybe a little change can be good. Trust me, I'm not for moving this thing, I just feel bad for Tony trying to beg for money. Hell, if this thing doe not happen this year, I just might have a first annual "Davefest". My wife will kill me if she sees this. Later, Dave

[Jeff "Yammer"]

Some one with alot of diplomacy and experience in this needs to write a letter on our behalf ( some how it would be nice to get a bunch of signatures on it too from Rumble attendee's with where we've travelled from too .... they might be surprised who comes to there little town and from where ) and then Tony can have it with him when he meets up with the local councel.
Good luck Tony !!!!!

Jeff

[WARLOCK]

I talked to Tony today and the council is supposed to meet with him this week and let him know. We will see how this plays out. Later, Dave

[speedracer]

Im not going to play there game much longer, they were going to call a meeting today [fri] and let me go over my budget with them but Its almost noon here and no calls. theres a lot you guys dont know about this whole thing that I really dont want to go In to on this board but will explane at a later time In person. Any one ever been to dale hollow lake In TENNESSEE, I was just talking to the owner of the sunset marina the other day and he said he would love to have a event like ours at his place sometime, nice big parking lot In front of the motel for partying after a day on the lake, a nice marina and several good places to eat and drink right on the site, oh and the lake is beautiful, no current and very deep, just thinking outloud.

[WARLOCK]

Tony,
Do you have an idea (hour wise) how much farther or closer for anyone? Later, Dave

[sms]

Tony,
I'm pretty close, near Seymour, In., about an hour from Carrollton. If there is anything you need in your negotiations, planning, meetings, etc... let me know if I can help.

And yes,
Dale Hollow is pretty nice too!

[MODVP22]

Dale Hollow is a beautiful lake. I've stayed and docked at Sunset many times before. It is a bit further south than Carrolton.

[tdogcarter]

Just looked to see where in TN Dale Hollow Lake is and it looks to be Cave Springs is the closest town

Morris to Cave Springs is 484 miles or 8 hours 23 minutes
Morris to Carrollton is 333 miles or 5 hours 49 minutes

Showing about 150 miles and at least 2 hours longer

This is getting pretty far for the Wisconsin boys.

[MODVP22]

Just looked to see where in TN Dale Hollow Lake is and it looks to be Cave Springs is the closest town



The Sunset Marina that Tony (Sppedracer) is refering to is in Byrdstown, TN...its about 1000 people population.

[tdogcarter]

Even Longer at 500 Miles or 8 hours 40 minutes for Byrdstown, TN
170 miles longer or 3 hours

[wing nut]

i like yammers idea with the letter signed by people.. but i to do that it may take weeks for that thing to get sent to everyones house.

where-ever the rumble ends up i WILL be there. if i can make it from NY and be the first there, and one of the last to leave i think other people can too. :)

carolton is an awsome place but if there is no funding what can we do? (other then just 'show' up there lol )

scott

[WARLOCK]

Far for the Wisconsin people? Hell, what about WingDing and the Canucks? Pretty much where ever it is I'll be there. Another three hours is not That bad I guess. Lets see what happens. I would love for the Carrollton Tourism board to see these posts. Maybe it would change some minds. Later, Dave

[WARLOCK]

Hey Winglick, why don't you call your little hottie and tell her mom (the mayor, I believe) to take a look at these posts. Later, Dave

[pyro]

I think we should have a tally of names and addresses to see who will all sign the letter to send to the Carrolton board. Better yet, do two of them in separate envelopes in case one gets lost. Each person who volunteers must promise to sign them both, and put stamps on them, and send them to the next person on the list enclosed. Imagine that, all the names handwritten.

"Chad, Michigan"
"Dave, Illinois"
"Scott, New York"
...And there will be many more.

It would take half the year to get it done, though.

[JWS]

Dale Hollow would be way cool!! Very clean water,great scenery and lotsa, lotsa calm water (usually). Does anyone have any experience in dealing with the Tennesse Valley Authority (TVA)? I would guess they may be a very bureaucratic bunch. Bot WOW!! what a site for an event.

[Charlie M]

hand written letter would be a good idea, and in it give a pledge (bribe:D ) for a small donation if they throw the event 5 or 10 dollars?

[wing nut]

dave im wayyy ahread of ya. i called her to tell her to convince her grandma to keep the rumble there and that we dont want it to move.. ill call and see if her grandma can pull up 'this' post and see how much we really want it to stay there.

scott

[JWS]

hey wingnut, Whats your connection to grandmothers in Kentucky? Sounds kinda kinky to me but what woul a Hoosier know anyway. Hey,whatever it takes is good by me

[Jeff "Yammer"]

His connection is TopSecret !!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Yammer

[tdogcarter]

Pyro,

That seems like a great idea, along with Charlie to add a donation, what we would need to have is one letter that was short and sweet that we could print up, put your name address hand written and signed, ad a donation, and then send to either one person, or Tony, he could put together the petition, and then show them how much we support this event. We would need to do this quick if this was any idea. We all could not sign one piece of paper as it would take days to get back and forth to everyone, and then up to Canada and back it would take months to move it around only to a few people. Starting a new post with the letter to copy and paste it in Word or Word Perfect, or word pad and then hand write your name address and sign. Address is key so they can see that people are traveling from all over the US and Canada to this event, I don't think they really know the magnatude of how far some people travel to this event. Maybe even adding how many miles or hours it takes you to travel to this event and you would really like to attend the Rumble on the River in Carrollton Kentucky, We would hate to move it accross the bridge to Madison, IN.

Just my idea. but adding on to others.

Trey

[Jeff "Yammer"]

OK ..... some one needs to write it !!! I'm not exactly the best auther for this. Scott get your Dad to write it up ....... Dear Town of Carrolton , I would miss not being able to pass out in my truck this year in your great town. Nor would my son be able to run his mouth off and then get drunk beyond words and make a fool of him self......
Hahahaha ...... Scott just kidding , your Dad may be the right man for the job. He very well spoken and well being the parent of some one who has put memories in the minds of the townsfolk ( both good and bad ) it may make a difference.

Whatever you guys decide, I will support. I have went to the last two and had a blast. Just let me know what I can do. I don't want this to end.

[95RapidRiot]

You count me in on whatever is decided! The Rumble is a great time with a lot of great people! Our group from southern Michigan keeps getting bigger and we were going to bring more this year.

[Instigator]

Give it time.
I think the towns folk will realise how strong of a draw you all are.
I'd sit back a while and let them look it over before you guys do anything.

[copper]

Made the last 3,had a great time,hook me up!

[speedracer]

Got a call today [sunday] from the Mayor of carrollton, she just got back in town from a weekend trip and heard the news of the Tourism Board not approving our funding for Rumble on the River VI. Needless to say, she is upset and promises to get on the phone tomorrow to make inquires of just what is exactly going on. If anyone who reads this has ever been to any Rumble Event held in Carrollton, have probably meet our mayor, the honorable Ms. Ann Deatherage. Without a doubt she is a hugh supporter of our event, and without a doubt will get too the bottom of the problem with the funding with the event. Everyone please be patient. Thanks Tony

[wing nut]

thanks for the update tony!

scott

[WARLOCK]

Great news, Tony! I'm sure IF the mayor reads these post she will not be too happy. As for Yammers above post....I almost pissed myself!!! J/k Later, Dave

[Ky River Rat]

Yep Great news
I could happen again

[JWS]

Hey Tony, Ya got some good news for us??? Thanks for your hard work!!!!

[speedracer]

Aug 18 19 20, The first weekend of aug there Is a odba And a kdba race and the second weekend the point park Is already spoken for so the weekend of the 19th Is going to have to do. Give me a few days to get some hotel rates locked up so you get the best deal, I will make a long post soon as what all Is planned for this year later this afternoon, thursday feb 9, Thanks Tony.

[WARLOCK]

It's already on the calender. Now that we know there are no races to conflict...Lets see how many people show up. Like I said, I'M IN!!!!. Thanks in advance for all your hard work Tony. I'll have ta see if I can scavenger you up a beer this year. LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!! Later, Dave

[Jeff "Yammer"]

First off you wont get many if any "Pro" racer's at the Rumble any way.

Second .... I won't be able to make it for 2 reasons. (1) If Bill Gohr is racing that weekend is the biggest ChampBoat race of the year St. Louis !! So we wouldn't make it. (2) There is something major going on around here that weekend
This suck's .........

Yammer

[WARLOCK]

I thought you said you could not go if it is in Sept.. Who gives a shi& if you cant go, just send down Sharolyn, Drew, and Frank the Tank. Later, Dave

[rpm racing]

the weekend of the 19th is perfect! I will see all you down there, the canadian crew should be pretty big this year. I think I will have to get my boat set up for 600' by the end of june and then put the keys in a timed box that does not open until Aug 18th, that way I can't blow it up like last year:(

[RBT]

Yammer what on EARTH could be more important than the rumble!.

RPM, you best not run your boat at all ( like me ) otherwise you will only be on the drinking team only..... unless you think you perfect streak of blowing up EVERYTHING you own is over.

RT

[Jeff "Yammer"]

Why do you want to set your boat up for 600' ?

Yammer

PS .... Drew, Tank and Sharolyn won't be going either.

[WARLOCK]

Yammer,
Whats the story, you guys got a wedding or something? Did you finally ask her? Ha Ha. Later, Dave

[rpm racing]

Yammer, it is all about the dig!! plus I should only need 600' to get way out front of you and then i can just let off!!!

You getting mad??? I hope so, I want to see you there!!

[Chummy]

Now that the date is set let me see what I can do to get a Georgia crew to head that way. I always heard what a great time the rumble was, I'm game lets see if I can get a group to go that far.

[Jeff "Yammer"]

AAA ... crap .... I got the dates screwed up. My function was not untill that same date but in Sept. Dumb-Ass
It still sucks if we are racing that weekend, Bill and I would not be able to go.

RPM , hey man why would I get mad. I can't fault a guy for dreaming. Hell I would make a trip down there just to race you and all you light-weight stuff just to show you that a plain old regular 2.5 with a 15" mid. can compete .... in fact it can even hand you your ass. :D
It will be funny to see RBT down there ........ he'll be running between all you guys "Tuning" up all your stuff ....... cuz from what I understand you should let him be the one "Tuning" things in your camp :eek: BOOM :eek:

[RBT]

If all goes well, I will be tuning my own sh1t.
They don't need my help, and I sure don't want to be held responsible when they go BOOM..... as we all know they will..... it would be at least nice if they save it for the Rumble so we all get to see the carnage.... Phil, just remmber to bring a BIGGER fire extingusher!.

[Bennington]

K.K.

[WARLOCK]

Don't worry about the DNR, Ive got a uniform! Ha Ha.
Bennington, looks like we have a new Party Cruiser, Eh. Later, Dave

[NICE PAIR]

Where's everyone staying?:D

[RBT]

days inn, or holiday inn express

[wing nut]

or the waffle house.. ha ha jk

[tdogcarter]

Tony will be posting all the information, but there are like 6 hotels if I remember right, but Tony gets us discounts at some of them.

Carrollton Inn
Best Western
Super 8
Holiday Inn
Days Inn
Hampton Inn

Then there is also your vehicle. Alot get a hotel but end up staying in their vehicle because they passed out before they could start it. Some bring tents and stay in the park, there have been campers, there have been people sleeping outside. Most get a hotel in the town and stay there.

Very nice park to camp or stay in a tent, just don't expect much sleep if you do this.

[NICE PAIR]

Thanks for reply, will continure lurking, sounds like sleep is "optional";)

[WARLOCK]

If you do spend the night in your vehicle, LOCK the doors!!! The first Rumble, I spent every night in my truck and used my hotel just to shower. But now I've grown and matured.(now I spend at least one night in the hotel) Later, Dave

[john w]

new boat.new tent to sleep in. what more can i ask for.oh ya woman. we need more ladies there. see yall soon big john

[Jeff "Yammer"]

Be very carefull though. We caught a buddy of mine trying to sleep in his car and we almost flipped it over on its side .............. one more guy and we would have actually done it ( thats the scary part :eek: ) But that was then ... and we knew him. No need to worry about that if you are new there !!!
I've been known to be woken up by Tony in my truck the odd Rumble or so too ... ??????????? ( man it was hot in there .... )

John W. I'm sure you will do just fine with the locals. She/It may like the tent idea too ..............;)

Yammer

[wing nut]

john the can lady will be there for ya!

o yea.. dont fall asleep out in the open either.. take my word on it

scott

[WARLOCK]

Wingnut......."Assface" ...We still have the video, Scott. Later, Dave

[john w]

you guys crack me up. better bring more beer if am gonna do the can lady. thats gross

[Chummy]

Wingnut......."Assface" ...We still have the video, Scott. Later, Dave

this I gotta hear :D

[tdogcarter]

John, c-mon someones gotta take one for the team.

You don't have to take care of everything in the tent, just take her for a boat ride, when done just toss here in the Ohio, with a life jacket of course and a rope. She can barefoot behind the boat back to the dock.

[wing nut]

dave i thought i deleated it? there was ANOTHER video camera? oh god hahahaha

scott

[WARLOCK]

Wingnut,
We will show your little video on a big screen this year!
Chummy, lets just say that Wingding had a few too many last year.....and paid the price!
John W, Qoute from the can lady "You guys take the cake....And the pie too"
Later, Dave

[Baja18]

Dave, if you recall when John put his tent up............the (in the) can lady was no where to be found:p And I heard when he tried to return the tent at Walmart they wouldnt take it back due to some strange stains on it:confused: :eek: ....................Brad

[wing nut]

dave i only had one cup... although i never could get to the bottom of it.

scott

[Chummy]

dave i only had one cup... although i never could get to the bottom of it.

scott

I can relate to that :) :)

[WARLOCK]

Brad,
Johns tent looked like Monica Lewinskys dress...and there was one brown tooth left inside so they would not return it.
This sounds like it could be a good year!! Later, Dave

[Chummy]

I have a question.... other than the poker run, if you don't drag race what other boating activties is there to do (resturants, coves to hang out, special scenes, etc)?

[Jeff "Yammer"]

Well Chummy .... there is the Poker Run, Drags, Top Speed Competition.
As far as non-event type runs ......... its unlimited. Lots of sites to see ...... the damm at the north ( north or west ??? ) has a great beach and you could go all the way the other way ...... head to Madison and beyond. You just need to hook up with some friends there ( new or old ..... ) Pop the boat in and go .....
There's also the odd drink to be had too ............. ;)

Yammer

[tdogcarter]

Other activities,

Bars on the water in Madison, there are numerous sand beaches you can stop at. Just your normal cruising, the water is right there, put your boat in, get some people and go. There might be a tree swing somewhere if I remember right. Lots of things to look at and many miles of wide open water. The ohio is very wide right out front of the rumble.
I think there should be some more boating related activities this year too.

And then non-related boating activities, there are always numerous ones, Tony has listed those on another thread, bars are nearby, fuel is right across the street, hotel with walking distance (carrollton inn, not bad we have stayed there).

Its a well put together gathering of people. Most the people are coming to hang out and get to know people rather than racing. Racing is avaliable and welcomed.

[Bennington]

There is some really cool boating that I think no one has explored.....and its not on the river right out front....if ya go through town but not right toward the hotels about 15 minutes out of town is great boating...just don't think anyone other than my wife and I have been there....of course we are probably the only ones that have made a week out of the rumble.....as for boating yes you can fo up or down the river boating.....you can even take the wife shopping by boat! I have done it!

As for beaches in madison bring shoes I think the others typing are talking out there asses I have done the real deal......been there year after year and beached.....ever seen a hypo needle in the sand? Wear your shoes and you will be okay also bring plenty of line....unless ya gotta beach stake its a long way to a tree from the beach....also best shopping and cool downtown river atmosphere is the other way east/north of the rumble.....madison is good for lunch and drinks/gas walking to shopping is not ideal compared to the other places you can go....go up river not down river!!!!!!!!!!!!!Been ther done that....my wife and I been to the rumble since the begining....she missed a year but if you have a better half just contact my wife she will give ya tips.....some of it we haven't even touched but we know about it....Ya can spend a week easy and not touch all the boating fun available!
K.K.

[rob vaughn]

anyone planning on staying @ Lake Cumberland before or after the Rumble??? A few years back, I remember some that did, if so you got to make it to 76 Falls, let me know I'll hook up with ya, can get some info for rooms if need be...

[Skatin]

I'm going to the Lake Rescue Shootout at Lake of the Ozarks the weekend after the Rumble. It's kinda on the way home so we are gonna stop and try to make a few runs. Hope we have some beer left after the Rumble..

[Ky River Rat]

Rob
