Bill, with all due respect................ I am the one who did the artwork and designed the flyers and winners plaques for the Third Annual Shoot out.
Ken has just cobbled new dates onto an old flyer, Knowing him he didnt even notice it said Third Annual ? LOL
If you won any palques at the last event look at them, they say Third Annual.

Hey Terry. I meant no disrespect with what I said and don't have a working knowledge of how many years the Waveblasters have been doing the Shootout. I just started boating in 2009 and my 1st trip over there was shortly before the 2011 Nats for a test n tune day. That's why I said at least a couple before the FE Nats. I was there for last years event but don't have a plaque to check for what it was called.
I wish our bunch could get well organised enough to work with your group and try to get a series going with our lake in it.

No problem here Bill, I didn't mean to make it sound like a big deal if I did ?
Actually I find it funny that Ken didn't realize it said third, although I got an email from him yesterday that the official date announcement would be upcoming ?
I'm so confused................... ?
It's hard to get enough people together to have a race, It is a lot of work, most have no idea as to what it takes.
Thats probably what happened here, Ken had a gazillion things going on at the same time?

Hello West Coast Racers,
At our last club meeting we discussed having our annual Spring Shoot-out
on the weekend of May 4th and 5th. That looked like a great weekend and
we were just waiting on some return calls from the other clubs to make sure
that were not any other race conflicts .
Well as things always go there are more than a few prospective Shoot-out
racers with commitments to other races that same week-end.
I looked hard again at the calendar and also spoke with Rick Workman.
We think we would like to try scheduling this race on May 18th and 19th.
I put out an email to our club on Friday and got only a few replies, but all
said that they had no conflicts.
I did send a preliminary draft flyer out with that email just to give everyone an
idea of the weekend schedule, but that seemed to be taken as an official
announcement which it was never intended.

Please reply to this thread with any and all comments. We would like to
announce this race as soon as possible, so take a brief minute and reply back
right away whether this is a good or bad date with you personnel schedule
and if there are any things that may also be in conflict.
We plan to wait till our next scheduled club race on March 17th to finalize
this or any other decided dates unless we get 100% agreement before then.
Thanks for your help &
Enjoy your week,
Ken Haines
Wave Blasters of Florida

As of now, the 18th and 19th are good for me.
I will bring it up at our next club meeting as well since a lot of our club members do not visit OSE, and some I wonder about if they check thier email Ill report back w/ possible attendance at that time. (two weeks)
Thanks Ken

Hi Bill.
Is there anyway you could get that info this week
as it would be great to announce Sunday afternoon
when the club could make it official ?
Please advise,
Thanks,
Ken

Oops....actually meant Scott

[tiqueman]

I can try Ken, but I typically dont recieve replies form about 80% of our members via email and 90% via OSE . Dont hesitate or fumble around us. Schedule it. Those who can make it will and those who say "ohh.... " shoulda checked thier emails and followed the threads

Ive sent out an email to members. I will keep you posted w/ head counts

Thanks for the invitation Ken
