NEW Florida Fast Electric Club

We could keep it on Saturday if we can find a retrieve boat if Jeff can't be there. It seems that normally Highndry and rchippie could run on Saturdays more easily than Sundays.

I am flexible but would prefer Saturdays myself. C'mon guys, chime in here. I'll contact a guy in Bradenton to see if he can come on Saturday and bring his retrieve boat.

[hebner]

I already have plans for Sunday. I will be there on Saturday if we have the retrieve boat.

[sailr]

I bombed out on getting somebody else with a retrieve boat. Unless somebody has a better idea for a retrieve on Saturday, it looks like another scrub. Hopefully Obrien will figure out that he doesn't have to work on Saturday!

[obrien]

I probably won't know until Friday if saturday will work. I will let you guys know.

Jim what did you get for a car?

[sailr]

Jeff,
I bought a used 2003 Pontiac Montana extended van. Hope it works out. Still trying to sell the "Titanic"! It has been a great van. I love that thing but just time to downsize a bit. The Pontiac has some issues but I bought it cheap so here's hopin for the best!

I have a carrier on the back of the Pontiac for my wheelchair so can't add a towing ball onto that.

My NAMBA license showed up today .

Dont turn over or break and you dont need a retrieve boat....Realistically, Jim has a retrieve boat that I'm sure could recover derelect <sp?> boats.

My namba showed up a couple of days ago. I was checking in to see if things were still on for Satuday. Looking kind of bleak right now. I rode down again last month but it was a crappy weather day and wasn't too surprised that nobody was there.
Was kinda hoping to get together with some of the delta runners (since I don't know anybody's name yet) and get some advice on dialing mine in. I like the way those ran so well when I was there in Feb that I stripped the Rio and moved into it. So far it seems like it corners great but is still getting loose in the straights.
I probably should introduce myself at the same time since it's 1st post here. I was there with the little UL-1 and Rio Roses. Shot some video, forgot my little folding table etc. Most folks call me Bill. Out here on the internet I use jet junkie and bill34207
Let me know what's happening too guys.

[obrien]

We didn't have a meet last month because several of us attended a race on the east coast.

I will be glad to help you out with your delta. I am sure Mike, Hugh, and Ray will also be glad to give some input.

I will let you guys know tomorrow if I can make it saturday or not.

[bill34207]

Thanks obrien. I'm really new to boats and don't have much of a clue.
I won't be able to make it early Sat morning but should be able to get there by 11 or so if the gathering is taking place. It's probably just as well since my back is on the fritz and I'd be useless for a work party.

[sailr]

Bill, I have your little folding table! I'll bring it if we meet this weekend. Otherwise, PM me with your phone number and we can arrange to meet somewhere. I am in Land O' Lakes, not nearly as far from you I believe.

Jim

Nick,

Akerman Park, Exit 210 on I-75, Sarasota. Go EAST on Fruitville Rd. to first traffic light, turn right. Follow back to the lake. We'd love to have you. Bring boats!
