    Oct., Nov. would actually be the best time of the year because it's usually dry and cooler.
    I think the main reason for staying away from this time of the year is the hurricanes.
    Although we are on the downside of the hurricane season this time of the year so that may be a consideration.
    I must agree that the June, July,August and sometimes into Sept. can be really hot.
    Remember though, April showers bring May flowers AKA humidity.

        When you get right down to it, I'd prefer Oct-Nov myself. The weather is more bearable (unless there's a hurricane coming through.) It's the slow season where I work and makes it easier to get a couple of days off as well. March-April would be my second choice, but I'm just along for the ride and not as serious about it as some. So, pay no attention to me.

          October/November would only make sense.
          Our nats here was scorching 100+ degrees still made for good racing.

          The nats is an anual event, let me give you guys an analogy. We're in the 2010 world series right now right?

          Would it make sense for them to start the 2011 world series in July next year less than a year after the last one?

          I hope you guys see my point.

            The super bowl is in Febuary every year. Would it be fair to teams to throw the next one the following august?

              Shoot... they can play the super bowl any time they want. It will get the same attention from me regardless. :yawn:

                        Boats don't win races, drivers do.

                            Oh c'mon Willie. Are you saying that you're not ready? I'll build a new LSH you can try to chop up!

                              I'll go along with him myself. I think we should push it back to Sept or Oct when it's cooler.

                                Ok, now my spirits are up, Nayman you're comin'?
                                Ok, this can't happen soon enough.

                                LSH Kharma got me good. Last week in practice, I hit a turtle in the apex, rudder breakaway kicked back and lost steering at full clamp.

                                Boat goes straight out of the apex towards a wall, I got out of it, but not quite soon enough. Slammed just hard enough to shatter a sponson.

                                I'll get her mended, but..

                                I saw you and Tucker at 2010 nats Colorado, but when I went to say whats up you guys were stuck to a poster dressed nice holding boats lol!!
