Mmmm! Puffed chicken and blackened mystery smoke burgers...my favorite!!! Will they be offering AMP Energy drinks? LOL!

My gen is a 4400 watt and I don't use it for anything other than a fan. I know Kents power supply died so he won't need it for charging either. I don't think you need to bring your gen Doug. Maybe just a few chords. I may ask Chuck to charge up my deep cycle battery at his house overnight. I don't think the hotel would dig me bringing a battery and charger in the room. LOL

No problem Mike...I will have my computer power supply with me...

With your Generator and deep cycle marine batt., we should be in good shape!!

Whoo Hoo!! Glad you're gonna be there Doug!! Awesome!

Are any of you guys going to be there Friday for open water??
We'd like to get there between 2:30 and 3:00, get set up, and run a few laps.

I just got in from the Gas Championship. Worn slap out but still very excited about makin this trip!

You know, I was thinking about the lake clean up as I was driving to my nephews B-day party and what kinds of trash there could be at a pond right next to a high school. I hope latex gloves were provided.

I figure on arriving between 1 and 2 pm on Friday. I'll probably try and do a lap or two on each boat. I also have to get the tunnel dialed in. Friday will be the first time it gets wet.

Weather forecast looks good for now. Sunny and Mid 80's. Every race I have atteneded has either been mid 90's or 50's with rain.

[HOTWATER]

I hear you Doug...just got home early this morning from a 10 day trip to CA...working out the jet lag now, LOL!

I just booked a room at the Red Roof...I'll be getting there Thurs. afternoon, so friday's open water will be good with me!

Mike, if you could give me any tips on getting down that way without major traffic issues, that would be great! I plan on leaving here around 9:00 am Thurs. No GPS but I will print out directions...

[Chilli]

Chuck and the Norfolk/VA Beach gang would have a better idea. But you shouldnt have any issues going down on Thursday. Leaving on Sunday will be another story. The CBBT gets backed up north bound on Sundays with vacationers headed home from the beach. Though vacation season is winding down so hopefully it won't be too bad.

Yeah, I guess that would get backed up on Sundays...I'm hoping the vacation season WILL be winding down by then. The drive looks pretty straightforward (just checked out the map/ directions).

I will be bringing the canopy again, also some gas for the generator.

[Doug Smock]

Red Roof huh? Shoot we're gonna be neighbors. LOL
I think we'll probably wait and head for home early Mon. morning. I guess it depends on how hard you guys are on us.

I thought it was this Saturday, It looks like I will enter the Viper in "novice" with Jason.
Anyone know where the forms can be had? If it's not too late

I'm off Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Thursday will be my "dial in" day at lake FEAR.

[Chilli]

Danny, Novice class is open to just about any type boat/motor/controller/battery. Only rule is no riggers so your good to go. The entry form is located on post 1 of this thread. Entry deadline is Tuesday. Dick Loeb's phone and address is on the form. Give him a call and I'm sure he'll hook you up. Hope to see you this weekend.

Mike

[Diegoboy]

Got it.
Thanks! I gotta get cooking on my promise to you.

Don't worry Jason. I'll put in my one contact in my right eye to help with depth perception. (we hope)
