[Wicked Performance Boats]

Did anybody go to Big River this weekend? I was thinking about going down for the day tomorrow. Budlight

[Cs19]

I just talked to someone who went, sounds like there were quite a few boats.
Maybe He will post and tell us what he saw going on out there. Hopefully he tells the same story he told me..LOL

Come on, details. Who went? We missed it this year.

[Speedin' Ian]

Lets hear some details?

My wife and I went down there about 8 in the morning and scott made a first time pass in his new alcohol hydro and then the boats started pooring in......had to have been at least20 to 40 hot boats,alot of very big,very blown c.i. flattys and hydros and jets of a few sorts.it was a blast, good food,and bitchin t-shirts and some big tittied hotties,it was a bitchin day,ECCEPT...........one little disappointment!,the water was hammered and only me, gofastracer,mike and a few other circle boats even got wet,yes need I say......"trailer gueens on that day"alot of very beuatiful boats and they sat all day :confused: I must say though that Art and I and a few others flogged the crap out our boats (once again)and made some really good passes,it was bitchin,(why I went 10-4)and mike took some AWESOME pictures and gave them away,(AGAIN) that guy is the dude of all dudes :D :D then at the end of the day (after we floated down river and sucked up the sun)the water totally glassed over and my buddy made some bad ass passes in his blown canyon jet at 94mph,it was pretty impressive and the big money flats had already gone home and missed the best conditions for hydros and runner bottoms EVER.If I had the coin and could have a big doller runnerbot.or hydro I would wait ALL day just for ONE pass in big river at dusk ,that place is the best.I don,t know why they all leave when the river is always best(for them) in the evening!!! :hammer2: but hey, I got my passes in and my ride was OFF the trailer and haulin ass all day!!!for some reason it LOVES big river,(like it has a mind of its own),it just seems to really march down there!!! :D anyways ,it was a blast and I will deff.make it again next year although it seems the dates will be changed do to chowtown and CFW.so exspect more boats next year!!!! :D :D

I went to Big River Sunday for Father's Day and it looked deserted!!! Had a great day and made some new friends BUT no one wanted to race!!! I cruised all the way to the dam, stopped in the cove hangout, my wife took our son out to make a few passes,[while I drank Cold Budlight] and then we went back to BR, fueled up and cruised to lost lake. Still no races, cruised back, stopping along the way to cool off and loaded it on trailer. I guess not too many fathers get to boat on their day! Budlight :D

[Sanger D]

no way!!!,arts boat was marchin!! :D he was lovin life out there,my boat does,nt even compare to that boat,my boat isnt fast ,It just runs alot better down there, :mix: must be the warmer water and cooler air,the water here in bullhead is colder then a well diggers ass and the air is 115 degrees,boat has a hard time warming up up here,but at big riverits just the opposite!!there was alot of FAST boats, but noone ran em!!!just a handful of guys did!! :squiggle:

Whoa, sorry man. That job thing keeps getting in the way of my interent browsing.
Thanks for the update. We were there last year and were bummed we couldn't make it this time. Those early evening passes are the best down there.

Yeah, BR is wierd like that. It's quite on Sunday. We come from South OC and if I'm gonna make the drive, I'm gonna stay as long as we can. We dropped a trailer there last summer and this one as well. Awesome for the kids and little boats like ours...

[rivertard]

(BUDLIGHT) I was there sat. Ran boat all day long. Showed the flatties some wheelies and roostertails.(GOT BEAT BY EVERYONE THAT WANTED TO RACE ) :eat: (THAT"S OK I HAD FUN ).Didn"t run out of fuel this time,brought 20GAL extra and used it all sat.(YES SIR ). 42gal.of 110.I left sunday morn.no one to play with.had a great fathers day weekend.hope the same to you.and all those other Great and grand and fathers out there .(rivertard). :clover:

[Wicked Performance Boats]

Rivertard, Sorry to have missed you. Catch ya next time. We'll pound a few to make up for it! Budlight :)

[Cs19]

Gotta love Rivertard, he runs his boat harder than anyone. :D
Riodog, what colors are the new Ultra that sunk? Blue,white? I sure hope not, he just got that thing finished.I have also had a few close calls in my boat at BR.
Sounds like it was fun,and I know what you mean.On those busy weekends theres no way to lay a pass down, WAY to bumpy, you gotta wait till sundown and head up river a little for some good water and a good straight aways, I dont like racing in front of camp both cause the water conditions and the bends in the river.

[Cs19]

Wow, not a fun situation there Rio.
Thats not the one i was thinking of, but Im pretty sure Ive seen that one before..?
Im thinking thats either Cyclone's buddy ( big guy with the long hair) that was out over Memorial or thats the one that was in the Ultra showroom for a while.
Bum deal, hope it came up okay.

OK, (CS19) so I go out to Big River to see some flatty action on Saturday about 4:00. Check out some boats (on trailers) in the campground and then down to the water. Some nice stuff bouyed out, water is a bit rough. Have a nice dinner spread about 6:00 and then settle down on the grass to watch the action since the water has now calmed down. The only action I saw was a fast wacker (lavey) hailin a**, a couple jets and then the guys who have their boats boued out go down to the boats, fire em up and TAKE THEM TO THE TRAILERS! WTF. Did I miss it?
Free Board Challenge ROCKS.

that is the guy you were thinking of, and im almost pos. that that boat sat on ultras showroom while Tom was waiting on parts for rigging.

[franky]

Could that be the owner of the sunk boat in the Pontoon watching whats going on?

[9er]

So is anyone rollin' back to BR for the Fourth?

I'll be there from Friday night till Tuesday! Gonna have a full boat this time...
I don't know why everyone leaves on Sunday. That's the best day on the water to me... Heck, ask CS19. At FC3 it was so nice we didn't want to get off the water... and we didn't until 7pm.
CS is right about laying down a pass. Not worth it in front of camp... water sucks. Up river around the bend is a nice place to get on it. :p

Ya at first I thought it was the Blue and White Ultra that went down. Man that thing turned out nice, I got to take some time and really check it out. The guy in the Ultra that sank was a big old cat sportin' long hair, he had a few close calls comming into the beach towing around his buddy on a tube. I feel really bad for the guy, getting swamped is a total bummer.... no thanx.
