    Hotel Rate

    It's Official "Hotel Rate"
    Sorry for the delay, but Ron Desmond was able to finally get some response from the Best Western in Port St Lucie about hotel rates for our race.
    The rate will be $59 per night just like we had gotten for the Nat's last year.
    Even if you have already reserved a room, just tell them (the Manager) that you are here for the Wave Blasters race. You will get that rate.
    Since this is the only decent hotel near the pond that is the only place we have secured a race rate. Here is the address and phone number.

    BEST WESTERN Port St. Lucie
    4.5 star rating 10 user ratings 10 user ratings
    7900 S US Highway 1, Port Saint Lucie, FL 34952
    (772) 878-7600

    I have also attached their promo to describe the hotel and location.
    We now have 20 Racers and 71 boats entered.
    See everyone in a couple of weekends,
    Ken

            Hey Ken,

            I've been trying, but I won't have your tunnel done quite in time for this event. Sorry! It'll be worth the wait, though... it's coming together nicely. :)

              No problem Darin...quality takes time.
              Looks like Michigan might be a great place to give it a try.
              I am getting excited to show-off one of your very fast OPC's.

                    Hello everyone, as much as I've been excited to come and race, unfortunately I will not be able to attend, my sister has been very ill and will pass away in the next day or 2 and the funeral will most likely be this weekend. I'm sorry I was really looking forward to racing w u guys.

                      Hi Mike,
                      Sorry to hear about your sister. I had been keeping this kind of secret,
                      but now we can let everyone know.
                      We will share some racing another time....for now tend to this loss
                      with your Family and relatives.
                      We will all say a little prayer for her, and will be thinking of you
                      during this coming race weekend.
                      Take Care,
                      Ken & all of the Wave Blasters
