Oh, I'd make room! May have to sell my wife's van to make more garage space, but I'd make room.

Dave, have him send em greyhound. Then claim........never got here.
I am so missing the big races this year. My youngest is a senior and I promised I would not miss on Show Choir event. I have missed it 3 years running and I can't this year.
The Plus side is next year they are all out of the house!
Can't go to the Nat's either. 25th Anniversary with both my wife and my 50th b-days. Going to Europe for them. (I wish they were all different dates but hey I am from Cleveland and our motto is: "There is always next year!")
Were going to miss ya Howard at both races. The Europe trip is a very good reason to miss along with your families things.
Send us one of those life size pictures of yourself. We will take it with us every where we go. Actually - you better send us a few copies. No telling how they may be treated. :)

Dave, what's a good budget $ for shipping my crap.......er...boats?
$400 round trip. Ups ground. Check the website so when you make A box it fits their perimeters.
Here's the race flier.....

Shipping is more than air fair.
idk Fred found a rate of 252
That's crazy, I found one for $211 this morning... I could only wish to make this happen this year. I wish "normal" was in my vocabulary!
Later,
Mike
Trying to put together a total budget with air, car, room, shipping, all that rot.
We figured get there Thursday and fly home Monday.
yup thats what I'm doin, maybe we share a car bteween the 3 of us terry?
We call ourselves the "Q"
Have to be a big freak'n car. I think I may smuggle Fred in a carry on. Have to fold him twice but he's under the weight limit I think.
What about gear on site? We cant just leave it out there so I'm thinking boats jammed in every square inch of space to and from the hotel.

U-Haul may have a solution......
When I fly, here's what it looks like.
I made 2 crates with 36" X 11" X 12" that meet Southwest Airlines checking measurements (free). Boat hulls, Tx, misc crap like tape, towels and tools go in them.
I ground ship chargers, batteries, motors, ESC's.
It's a pain, but once you have your routine down, whatever it may be, it's rather simple. Any gear that you ship gets sent to me. It's waiting for you at your hotel when you fly in.
Or....
You could drive yourself and all of your
gear to the race using an enclosed trailer.
Near the end of the event simply set it on fire and leave it.
Hopefully a bunch of do gooders will not run to the rescue
and put out the flames......hmmm

MY RETIREMENT PLAN?????.....POWERBALL
74 vintage kirby clasic hydro, pursuit mono, mg, 47'' mono, popeye hydro...
Terry we'll rent a minivan, and there shouldn't be that much stuff? a P-mono a Plim mono a small rigger and a small sport hydro? small box of tools and about a dozen batt packs and 2 chargers. I can fit all of that in 1 48x12x24 box and my shipping rates are about 60-70 bucks each way for that size box and 80 lbs.
We call ourselves the "Q"
I need to take a closet look at what I'm actually trying to run.
That would be 4 dudes worth of the same crap.
Not sure it will save your rig Ken but I'll use my extensive background in fire protection engineering to help out.................by urinating on it.
Pretty sure long island iced tea puts out a lipo fire?
Dave,
SoCal FE Tim has graciously stepped up and will sponsor TWO classes [of your choice] to be attributed to TLandauer/SoCal FE in addition to the other class sponsored by SoCal FE. Paypal to the address previously used?
I'll soon be knocking on the usual sponsor doors as well as the possibility of some new ones
