Delta Lunch Run 3/5

[Hammer]

Anyone interested in a Lunch run out of Orwood the first weekend of March? Guisties for lunch :idea:, Tower Park “Mud Slides” for desert. :messedup:
LetÂ’s do a little better than 4 boats this time! AccuWeather says 85 degrees.

[valkyrie voodoo]

I wont be able to attend, :frown: I should be unpacking that day. :frown: with any luck we should be outta here and onto the ranch.Escro closes here on the 4th,so we better be out.I hope to start informal moving the weekend prior and work on it during the week.I've registered the dogs in the splash dog competition at the ISE show on Sat the 26th of Feb; that will give us a little break in the moving action. :supp: Have a good time :boxed:

[Obsessive Compulsive]

The 5 of march is good for me, the word is that we are going to a speacial place in Freeport for lunch? :cool: It's time for all you guys to wake up your high dollar Queens & give them a shake, ( your boats).

[Eliminator 4 Life]

Its 85 here in puerto vallarta . Count me in Ill meet at tower park....

[Dimarco21]

I'm in.
Let's head up to DCBob's / DCSteve's secret steak house in Freeport.
Being we have to stop a Tower Park to pick up Elim4life........let's have a couple of mudslide's. :hammerhea :crossx: :220v:

[Dimarco21]

Or do you need to borrow a road flare? :D

[Boatmaster]

Can't make the 5th! :mad: Should have a new boat in the shed by than, how about a run on the 26th??

[Hammer]

Sounds like we have some takers for the 5th. Looks like the plan is Orwood for breakfast, Tower Park for Mud Slides and Freeport for steak sandwiches. If the steak sandwiches are as good as DCBob said the mud slides are, we should be in for some excellent food and killer drinks.
LetÂ’s get a list going!

Glad to hear your makin' the trip. How did your new motor turn out?

[Robbie Racer]

Glad to hear your makin' the trip. How did your new motor turn out?.
It still made decent numbers on the dyno despite switching to a slightly less agressive cam for a little for better valve train reliability so I was pleased with that. I haven't run it in the boat yet other than a quick check out on the trailer. This run will be the first time I have had it back in the water since the rebuild. I need to burn up a tank of pump gas that has been sitting in the boat for the last 4 months. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys out on the water again. :)

Delta Cross Channel Gates
The Delta Cross Channel Gates are operated in accordance with State Water Resources Control Board Decision 1641 as follows:
From November 1 through January 31. Gates will be closed for a total of up to 45 days for fisheries protection as requested by the US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and Department of Fish & Game (DFG). Gates may be closed on very short notice and may be closed on weekends.
From February 1 through May 20. Gates will be closed.
From May 21 through June 15. Gates will be closed for a total of 14 days for fisheries protection as requested by the USFWS, NMFS, and DFG. Gates may be closed on very short notice. Whenever possible, gates will be open on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and the weekday holiday on Memorial Day weekend, but this cannot be guaranteed.
From June 16 through October 31. Gates will generally be open, but this cannot be guaranteed. Hydrodynamic and fishery experiments have been conducted in the past and may continue in the future. These often require intermittent closures.
High flows on the Sacramento River, unforeseen fishery protection actions or water quality compliance in the Delta may necessitate a short term closure.
USBR standing operation procedures call for gate closure when flow on the Sacramento River reaches the 20,000 to 25,000 cfs range.
Gate opening and closing times are approximate, since an operator must travel to the site to perform the change. The opening and closing of the gates generally takes 30 minutes to one hour.
Talked with Marina Operator, said to call him a week in advance.( he says he should be able to handle 8 to 10 boats 20' to 30'). With the gates being closed this time of year, we will have to find another route or another spot.

Mar 5th looks like I'm in unless I get an early baby alert...so if I gotta back out it'll be for good reason. If it was anything like today we're stoked. So nice.

The cross channel gates @ walnut grove will be closed. Best route, 3 mile slough to sacratomato river, turn right!. Parking is limited, 8-10 boats. Will check with marina 1) week prior to run. :rollside:

Sounds to me like you guys have a little size issue. :confused: :cry:

That day sounds like fun...May need to hitch a ride but I'm sure there's an open seat ot two. Would love to have the boat finished by then but its not lookin good right now..

D21Â…Â…. Perhaps we need to let them post their own size in the future. I think you hit a soft spot. For some size matters, for others the girth of the beam is the pleaser. In your case HP is the spoiler. Any fockin how, we have a lot of hardware going on this run, hopefully we can find a dock that can accommodate our needs for lunch. Sounds like we are going to have to tie up three deep to fit 14 boats at Freeport. BRING 2 SETS OF BUMPERS and a lot of respect for the hardware youÂ’re tying up next to.

But that's to Oprah for me.....I'm a Jerry Springer :argue: kind of guy. :D

I think we are going to make this one also. With the gates closed does this mean that the water will be shallow in some spots????? I will probably launch out of paradise point...

Is Floyd makin' it too?

[MOBrien]

Well, we're about 3 weeks out on this lunch run and we're at about 15 boats....I bet more will jump on the bandwagon soon which will put us closer to 20 boats. I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT!!! It'll be like a mini hooky day. Issue is though, we'll probably have to change the destination plans with this many rigs in the run because of dock space limitations.............
Any ideas????????

[NICE PAIR]

Gate being closed won't effect water level. Only 2) ways to Freeport. 1) down San Juaquin river to 3 mile slough, 3 mile to Sacratomato, turn right. 2) Geogiana slough to Sacratomato river, turn right.
3)We could take some decent anchors and tie boats in a chain, just down river from marina and pile into 8 or 10 boats to go to marina
4) We could pick somewhere else. :)
5) Is it March yet!!

[Cat Skinner]

I think I'd like to make this one too. If we need a spot to hang we can go to my water ski club. Stockton Water Ski Club. It's on the main channel. Let me know. If you want to check it out go to www.swscisland.com.

Motor is still out of his boat, he won't make this one.

Well he'll make the perfect Gilligan. Non drinker, can drive a boat and can back a trailer!!!!

[gnarley]

I'm getting real tempted to get out :cool: I need to wait and see if the weather is good and have time but I won't know till the last minute. I would be great meeting a few peeps and sharing a few bevs and stories.
Maybe I'll see you all there or meet you somewhere in between.

[T-Bag]

Is Floyd makin' it too?
I don't think so, this time I'm taking my wife she has yet to go on a delta trip. I don't know if thats good or bad!!!! ;)

[Cat Skinner]

Yep. Unless things have changed since last summer Dennis is pretty much a tea totaler. He slimmed down and is living the good life. Good for him! That's OK, I can drink enough for the both of us and he's always wanted to drive my boat. Hope he can handle a hand throttle. Maybe he'll like it so much he'll buy it!!!!!!!Let me know if you guys want to go out to The Island so I can go out and mow and check things. We've got about 1000' of dock space and plenty of beach. I'd sure like to get some pictures of a bunch of Hot Boats at The Island.

Isn't it still hunting season? With all the rain we have had lately I am guessing the weather won't be very nice. If it is, have fun and watch out for the prop busters in the water. :cry:

Mo did you ever have a tandem axle trailer before? I love the way the triple pulls like a dream :cool:

[MOBrien]

We had a tandem on Pops old 23' Sleekcraft that I used more than he did....damn thing wandered the HWY like a homeless drunk. Triple is the only way to go IMO......sooooo smooth and tracks like a dream! I'll never go back to tandem. Then again, tandem's too small and won't support our next ride.... :D :D :D

It's a sickness isn't it! We got ours in March of '04 and I'm already looking ahead too....and our Cheetah is a perfectly good boat. But I don't think I'll ever be satisfied. Several boats some to mind....26' Force, 26' DCB, 28' Daytona, and I love that new 29' Cobra tunnel that debuted at the LA show. That ride is sick! Too bad DCB passed on the opportunity to produce that one. Either way, we're probably AT LEAST 2 yrs out though....those are all much higher dollar rides than what we have now. I do like the 23' Ultra decker as a smaller option too...... There's just wayyyyyyyy to much good shiat out there these days and who knows what'll be available by then.
What's on your horizon?

I'll race you for pink slips with my new ride (as seen above).
I'm the shoe and O.C. is my mechanic/tuner/bildge pump operator, with that combination we can't be beat.
We figured we would go after the "Delta King" first. :crossx:
This all depends of course if O.C. can install our 1,350 HP nitrous kit in time, he's been a little busy with his new porn movie business "Midget's Clowns do Dallas". :D

[Boatmaster]

It will be a Smoking gun. :D

Isn't it still hunting season? With all the rain we have had lately I am guessing the weather won't be very nice. If it is, have fun and watch out for the prop busters in the water. :cry:

is it all offshore boats our do you guys get some jets and smaller boats

[Cat Skinner]

Hey guys, I just got off the phone with Dennis. He's in and he also extended an invitation to the group to have a barbeque at The Island. The club will provide the meat and fire. My wife has volunteered to cook. If you guys are interested and the weather is cooperative it could be fun. Please e-mail me or pm me and will start a head count. I figure if we barbeque @ 2:00 that gives everyone plenty of time to burn all your gas and break or break in all your new parts.

[Hammer]

Thanks for the invitation to the Island but I tend to agree with D21, drive em or sell em. This trip is more about mudslides and a long romantic run up the river with your favorite Gilligan. Perhaps another date can be set for a day of BBQ and spankin our monkeys at the dock looking over all the hardware. ThatÂ’s my two cents. But I am willing to do what ever the majority wants.

[Hammer]

Perhaps we can make the Island one of our stops for a drink. Ya know Â….. BYOB set e up a makeshift bar and see what kind of high octane drinks we can concoct :messedup: then hit the river and burn up some gas.

We are looking for sponsors of any kind if you would like to participate. We already have Trojan Condoms, Astro Glide "Slickest lubricant known to man" and Starkist Tuna.

As far as the itinerary is concerned....let's just make sure we have a meeting point that's acceptable to all. It seems that there will be several chosen launching sites. Who's launching where and how many will be launching from Orwood? BBQ, bar hop & lunch stop, run till you're outta gas......whatever, let's just make sure we can all meet up & run together for a while. :D :D :D

[Eliminator 4 Life]

Everyone still on for the 5th??? :cool:

[Cat Skinner]

Hammer,
The idea was to make the run to a few selected spots, preferably ones with enough dock space for the group and then have lunch at the Island around 2:00. It's kind of a central spot for those who are launching in Stockton or anywhere other than Orwood. There will definatly be some nice machinery to look at and lies to tell. It's just gonna' be burgers and maybe a salad, nothin' fancy.
If we DO go to the Island I have a request of you and anyone else in your situation: If you have to disipline your Monkey please do it in the back forty and you better bring your mesquito spray because they'll attack any mammal, no matter how small, this time of year!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

[Hammer]

The 5th looks like a goÂ…Â…. Acuweather says 69 degrees. It looks like we have a few launch points, depending on where you live. IÂ’m going out of Qrwood, the usual 9am for breakfast.

We'll be happy to feed everyone. SWSC will buy the burgers. Green and potato salad will be provided. Just bring your favorite beverage and maybe a chair or two and a can of bug spray. We don't spray for mesquitos until May, and I don't think Hammers monkey will feed all of 'em. :rollside:

Some boats launching here, & some there. Where to stop for lunch, bar stops ect. :argue: For my ten cents, I think we need to keep to the plan on going up river to freeport, where we stop in between, well that the fun of making our route, were ever we go, stopping by the island could be a great meeting point, have a drink or two.... :cool: For me I want to drive while the delta is low key. :2purples: My shit is'nt broken yet, so I must drive untill then. :hammerhea

I agree. This trip was planned over a couple of drinks (I put that mildly) last Delta run. I would like to drive up to Freeport to DCBob's/Nice Pair's spot for steak sandwiches.
How we get there I don't care.....let's just drive, no trailer queens!!!!

Hey wasup you guy's??? Hmmmm, NO welcome or come on out for me? I thought by saying "I need to wait and see if the weather is good and have time but I won't know till the last minute" meant I was tentative but I didn't see my name on the tentative list.
I was going to have friend as shotgun if I made it out but he just bought a new home and won't have time for a while and this motley crew might be a bit much for bringing out the first mate. Keith is Maggie going? I will try to find a few more boaters to bring their boats out if possible also.
I've been following the thread and watchin it grow and can't quite determine the routes or stops other than Orwood. It might help me figure out where I might drop it in. I know the Delta pretty good so if someone posts the routes I might get an idea for alternate ramps. The thing kind of holding me back is selling 2 cars, anyone need a 98 RAV4 AWD or a 01 Taurus?

Hey Gnarley, Come on out. Like to meet you. Nobody needs a personal invite. The only requirements are:
1.) Drive your boat.
B.) Cool, Relaxed people who like to have a good time.
3.) Drive your boat.
4.)Oh yeah, drive your boat.
There is no real route yet (that's the fun of it,right). Maybe MCHammer knows it but he's too drain bammaged to say. So, let's keep it simple. We'll meet at Orwood in the morning. Along the way to lunch we'll pick up Elim4Life,Cat Skinner and Wally-Dog at the Stockton Water Ski Club.

I would love to cook lunch for ya'all but I'm open to anything.l My vote is we let Hammer and D21 decide since they are the leaders of the pack. If you guys want to go to the SWSC I need to know by this Friday so I can mow and blow and clean up the barbeque pits. One thing to think about, this time of year there's a lot of wood floating down the Sac and the tide is really rollin' so keep a clear head and a shrap eye. SWSC is @ marker 11 just west of St. Francis Yacht Club on the San Joquin river. It's on the Schell map.

Thanks for asking Phil. The wifey is doin well. She's huge and ready to pop, but doing very well and all is well with the litt'lin-to-be also. Yesterday was our 1 month-to-launch date so it's getting close. As of this moment, I am in. The ONLY thing that would prohibit me from being there would be "the call"....which is surely a possibility with us being in the "red zone". I'll just have to wait and see, but again, I am planning on being at Orwood for liquid breakfast on the 5th and burning 55 gals of Super :messedup: with you focks.

E4L, On the Delta map it looks like it's midway between Walnut Grove and Sac. DCBob and Nice Pair know the spot where we're going.
Are you in?

[gnarley]

The Freeport I'm thinkin of is right near Florin Rd in south Sac. If that's the place I'm guessing that it's a 100+ mile round trip from Orwood. Have any of you guys done that trip before? The last time I went from Snug Harbor to Crawdad's it took a while due to all the no wake zones.

[MOBrien]

oh shiat! :jawdrop: that IS Freeport. :jawdrop: Between Walnut Grove and Sac is exactly where that is Phil. Garcia Bend (off Pocket Rd & I-5) is right there and our most convenient launch spot...only about 15 mins from my house. If that's the Freeport we're talking about, I may just launch here, boogie on down the river solo for a while and meet you all as you're heading up to my neck-o-the-river. Who knows, but that would make more sense for me since the destination is so close to where I live here in Elk Grove.
I didn't think there was any way you were talking about coming up this far. Hmmmmm. Maybe I'll launch at Orwood as planned and have a Chauffeur take the trailer back to Garcia Bend/Freeport so I can recover there.....I'd have to be very lucky to sucker someone into that proposition.....but then again, I AM THE DONALD! :D

Kieth(robbie racer) along with Al rock (rocketJ) Picked me up at tower park drove north, entered the Sac. river in Walnut grove and headed north. We had lunch in old town Sac. then south to tower park were they droped me off and continued to stockton were they had launched. Keith did the entire round trip just shy of his fuel capacity. And that was with a guy raceing us up river in a jeep cherrikee on a levee that ran staight for two to three miles. Keith let the guy get ahead of us at a little over 100 mph then put the hammer down, we passed him going up river against winter run off at over 110mph gps, add about a 10+mph water flow rate and we were haulin A$$ as he disapeared in our mist. :p

I'd have liked to be in that Jeep just to see the guy's face when you blew past him. What the? That must have been classic and I bet you guys were all laughing your asses off. Good story. You coming out for this one Brian?

Yea we were laughing our asses off. When the guy passes us Al Rock says to Keith, Are you going to let that guy get away with that? Keith doesn't say anything,but I see his eyes looking at all his gauges as the guy is getting further ahead, then without even a smirk keith poors on the coal. It wasn't entill we slowed down that Keith started laughing, I and Al were already Laughing our A$$e$ off. That was a classic and great Winter day. :jawdrop:
I'll make it out if I can hitch a ride with someone,My boats a little small to play with all you Big Dogs Or Cats. ;)

Paradise Point is on the delta map and is at Eight Mile Rd inbetween stockton and lodi. I live at Lake Camanche and this is the closest launch point for me. I would rather drive by water than my truck towing my boat around... My wife is coming too! ( its her first trip)

[Dimarco21]

Shiat I dont want to drive all day :argue:
Like I said, we are here to drive our boats.....no trailer queens.

[deltarat]

Hi Terry, Your always welcome with us! Come on out, it will be good to see you again. What about your friend 78Anthony?
Norm is lock up on the 5th. Something about his wife flying back from a Cubs pre season game in Arizona...........talk about a waste of time. 5 bucks says they loose.

[Eliminator 4 Life]

Like I said, we are here to drive our boats.....no trailer queens.
Well the girls on my boat might want to shake there azzz ha ha :p

Make that $10.00, the Cubs suck and they are playing the Giants, wait, Bonds isn't on the juice and is looking smaller now than he did last season, hell, I think his voice is getting deeper to, maybe his balls are growing out.
Yeah, Norm is on lockdown and is on call also :cry: , BUT, I think I have clearance from the tower for the 26th of march :cool: , and the 25th is a holiday for me :cool: , don't know for what but a day off without pay nonetheless :confused: .
So, you boys have fun, and I will make the next one. :yuk:
Trailor Queen, is that a gay guy in a park some where named Max? :idea:

[Dimarco21]

oh shiat! :jawdrop: that IS Freeport. :jawdrop: Between Walnut Grove and Sac is exactly where that is Phil. Garcia Bend (off Pocket Rd & I-5) is right there and our most convenient launch spot...only about 15 mins from my house. If that's the Freeport we're talking about, I may just launch here, boogie on down the river solo for a while and meet you all as you're heading up to my neck-o-the-river. Who knows, but that would make more sense for me since the destination is so close to where I live here in Elk Grove.
Hey MO, Do you know where the lunch place is? It's in your neck of the woods, isn't it? The drive to Sac. from Orwood is a cake walk. O.C. and I do it every year (and you know what junk we have). It usually takes us a couple of hours with refreshment stops included . Our fo' sho' stop will be Tower Park for their Mud Slides.....Mmmm Mmmm good shiat.

You know depending on where everyone else may put in you might be better off going to the end of Eight mile road and launching there. Isn't that Herman & HelenÂ’s? It would get you that much closer to a rendezvous and a quicker straight shot at the deep water channel for a hookup or closer later on the return leg.
I was lookin at charts and almost everyone will end up on the San Joaquin and take Three Mile Slough to the Sacramento. Can anyone tell me the favored route to the San Joaquin from Orwood? Is it Indian Slough to Old River to Franks Tract and then False River? If your goin across Franks, how do you feel about it during low tide? Anyone got the tide chart for Franks at about 10:00 AM on the 5th?
Dimarco21, how are you doing a stop at tower with the cross channel locks closed? You can't get to the Sac from Tower if they are closed or am I mistaken? The only way I know is going the long way around at Rio Vista during the winter.

We have been up that way many times. The locks are always open on weekends unless something weird goes on. O.C. will call the day before to make sure they are open on the 5th. If there closed...no big deal we go around. :D
Are we still meeting you at S.W.S. Club?

[Obsessive Compulsive]

I'v never seeen the lock down, not to say it coulnt be down that day. I was told on weekends it will be open? Anyone know for sure if it will be closed for sure?

[gnarley]

OK here's the deal on the locks.
http://www.usbr.gov/mp/cvo/xcgtxt.html
From February 1 through May 20. Gates will be closed.
Delta Cross Channel Gates
The Delta Cross Channel Gates are operated in accordance with State Water Resources Control Board Decision 1641 as follows:
From November 1 through January 31. Gates will be closed for a total of up to 45 days for fisheries protection as requested by the US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and Department of Fish & Game (DFG). Gates may be closed on very short notice and may be closed on weekends.
From February 1 through May 20. Gates will be closed.
From May 21 through June 15. Gates will be closed for a total of 14 days for fisheries protection as requested by the USFWS, NMFS, and DFG. Gates may be closed on very short notice. Whenever possible, gates will be open on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and the weekday holiday on Memorial Day weekend, but this cannot be guaranteed.
From June 16 through October 31. Gates will generally be open, but this cannot be guaranteed. Hydrodynamic and fishery experiments have been conducted in the past and may continue in the future. These often require intermittent closures.
High flows on the Sacramento River, unforeseen fishery protection actions or water quality compliance in the Delta may necessitate a short term closure.

[BLEWBAYOU1]

Cross Delta Channel Gates
There is a dug channel, less than a mile long, connecting the Sacramento River (near Locke and Walnut Grove) with Snodgrass Slough and the Mokelumne River System. There is a pair of hyraulically controlled gates on the Sacramento River end of the channel, with usual low-tide overhead clearance of about 8-1/2 feet, when the gates are in the open position. (Although these gates often are referred to as "locks" they are not locks, they are gates.)
The Channel is deep and allows transit of low-overhead clearance boats when the gates are open. This provides a shortcut between the two waterway systems. Without this shortcut, a boater must travel the entire distance of Georgiana Slough and back upstream the entire distance of the North Fork of the Mokelumne River (or vice versa) to go this same one-mile distance, a cruise of many miles. Delta Cross Channel Gates Opening & Closin
These gates may be closed often for various reasons -- sometimes for flood control, sometimes for improvement of water quality, sometimes to improve protection of migrating fish. We will either include gate closure information here or provide a link to where the information can be found, or both.
PRESENT STATUS:
Cross Delta Channel Gates. The gates are open until further notice.
A boat lock operator is on duty every day 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
If you have questions you may contact the Central Valley Operations Office at (916) 979-2194 or (916) 979-2196.

So, now that we know the gates are closed what is the route to where you all are going? Tower would have been on the way but if you need to go the long way around that would add about an hour or more to the route. If I know the proposed route I will chart it and post the approximate distance.

As for the brotherin from the east, we will meet up at Stockton Ski Club at 10am (with Cat Skinners permission of course) The goal it to BYOB and see what voodoo concoctions we can mix up then depart the island by 10:30-11 ish.
From there DRIVE !!!!! Locks open or closed, who cares just drive and enjoy comp boat free water. No fuss no muss, just have a good time and get as far up river as we can with a clan of this size.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to PM O.C. or D21

Anyone interested in a Lunch run out of Orwood the first weekend of March? Guisties for lunch :idea:, Tower Park “Mud Slides” for desert. :messedup:
Sounds like we have some takers for the 5th. Looks like the plan is Orwood for breakfast, Tower Park for Mud Slides and Freeport for steak sandwiches. If the steak sandwiches are as good as DCBob said the mud slides are, we should be in for some excellent food and killer drinks.

Well I just got back from training in Fremont, yea. I should be firing the Stoker off of Friday and possibly going out for a run from orwood on Sat or Sunday for a shake down. I should make it , With a Boat, on the 5th. I dont think I will be up for running up to Freeport. I may just stay local in case somthing goes bad for the first time out run. Thanks to Deltarat for coming out and giving me a hand for a few days to get this thing back together.

I hold 56 gallons of go-go juice and intend on limping in on fumes. If I gotta get bf'd by pricing at a Delta fuel stop to keep me going, whatever, I don't think any of us bought our boats for their mpg rating. :idea:
And I think there's something to say for spontaneity as well. It's pretty fun to carve the path as we go and where we end up is where we end up....does it really matter that much as long as we're boating and having a good time? Whatever happens in between and along the way doesn't matter to me.......I'm just happy to be on the water!!!! :wink:

Ski Club? Hell I don't even know where I'm launchin :confused: When is everyone checkin in there? That's why I was tryin to figure the route. I might be by myself and seems as though a few are getin wet at Orwood but there are others that are meetin up later from other points. I could tow to Orwood off HWY 4 but that's a bit longer for me than getin to HWY 12 and I'm askin a few other friends if they want to bring their boats out for an early season start. Where ever I'm going I'm good for a few bev's and some driving time :D

Sorry I am a little dumb in head. I thought you were meeting us at the ski club. My .02 just drive the extra 20 minutes to Orwood and launch with the majority of the group. Like Hammer said we tend to bounce around a lot to different spots, and meeting up with us could be difficult.
Orwood Resort can be found on a Delta map. If you can't find it PM me and I will give you directions.

Go back a page or two, Hammer layed down the beginning of the itinerary. It's looking like we will be at stocton ski club around 10:00. In my opion, you leaving from ladd's, it should take you about 15-25 min. depending how fast you drive. We will see you there. 10:30-11:00 we should be leaving to get muddslides at tower park. See you there. :rollside:

With all this talk about fuel mileage and if the gates are locked I have the answer.
1. I have a pair of bolt cutters, I'll cut the lock on the gate.(Those old four wheeling days up on Mt.Diablo and Las trompas Park)
2. Don't drive further than half tank, a lot less if you were going with the tide on the first half.
3.Drive the extra mile so you can meet up with every one else. It would be a shame if you drove that extra 40 miles in the rig so you could save fuel in the boat and not find anyone.
4. If you can't afford the fuel in your boat maybe you should down size to reality.
5. If you do run out of fuel, I'll tow you in with my gregor, I can't remember the last time I bought fuel for that rig. I think fuel was only $1.50 back then.(At dock prices. :jawdrop: .)
6.Don't anyone get there panty's in a wad over this post, it was not aimed at anyone, Just for fun! :boxingguy
Brian :wink: Dam this made me thirsty!

Brian, your Gregor against the Team O.C./D21 drag outboard for pink slips?
Are you scared yet?

[Robbie Racer]

That's absurd!! But sounds like a helluvalotta fun....ya gotta pay to play! I wonder how Keith's monster compares. :idea:
Hi guys, just got back from a week long business trip on the road. I'm looking forward to next Saturday's run.
MOBrian, I have never had the sack to run mine very fast for very long so I can't compare what the fuel usage would be for a 30 minute run. But according to the dyno sheet it uses about 568 lbs of fuel per hour at WOT (at 9 psi boost). I think gasoline weighs about 6 lbs. per gallon so that would be about 94 gallons per hour at WOT. Luckily for my pocket book, it gets half way decent fuel economy (15 gallons per hour) when cruising around 60 when it's still on the primary's and the power valves are CLOSED!!! :)
See you guys at Orwood.
Keith

[Dimarco21]

One more reason you have the most bitchin' boat on the planet. Great fuel economy. I can't belive how efficient your boat runs. :cry: You are the only guy who puts more hours on his boat then O.C. and I.
Have you come up with any muffler ideas yet? I checked my junk a couple of weeks ago and it reads 102-108 db, depending on RPM blower lope. O.C. was a little less than me.
Is it the 5th yet?

Were doing mud slides tonight. Then I'll do some "fine tuning" to the drag outboard. Maybe a little graphite speed coat for the bottom.
