All things are subject to change! But At least it gets us DREAMING!!!!

[Cheyenne372]

I guess, but it's a disservice to racers and fans to put out a bogus schedule knowing that most have to make vacation plans only to have the race dates changed after the banquet!

[progplb]

Speeking of planning things ... What is a nice inexpensive place to stay at in Waco that is close to the races?

Nice AND Inexpensive in Waco????? I stayed in the Motel 6 (about 3 miles south of the river down I-35) last year (twice) and it was like $99.00 and SUCKED!
I've heard good things about the motel that's right down the road from the track (I-35 & MLK) .... I don't remember the name,,,,,,
But really,, WACO seems to be growing so fast,, that there just doesn't seem to be any "Nice Inexpencive" motels there right now!
How about it Cheyenne372,,,,Can you give us the Hook up on some "Nice Inexpencive motels in Waco??? I haven't been able to find one yet!
But at least it's not MF!!!!!!!! LOL!!!

Oh Sorry! Your probably right!
I'll correct any changes after the Banquet too!!!!!
CYA on the Rope!!

The race's are held in on the Brazos river in Cameron Park (it's just west of I-35 look for the 1st bend in the river west of I-35).
Here's a Motel link>>>> http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=hotels+in+waco+tx
Looks like H & E are the closest!!!

My brother in law, (well, after July 15) lives in an apartment right on the river, about 2 miles from cameron Park, and he said the river is pretty low right now. I'll be staying with him that weekend.

[sdba069]

There's a motel on the corner where MLK goes under I-35W, Victorian Inn. This is the link. We stayed there for years and have no complaint. It is probably the closest also.

[progplb]

The hell with the Inn... I'm partying with Greaser at his brother-in-laws. Save a spot on the floor near the bath room

[Cheyenne372]

The river will remain down until April 7th.
They have begun construction on the new low-water dam and have made assurances that the river will be back up beginning April 7th....... :cool:

[blowngas]

I thought that everybody who has 40 ft. trailers is the big issue this year??

I'm sure that can be arranged. My bro in law goes to school over there, and know of all the good bars!!! LOL

Sounds like the little lady is going also so I had better get a room at the Victorian Inn ... (Dammit!) I just have to get her say weather or not she wants to go to the races saturday and sunday or just sunday.
She figured out that it was first monday trade days in Canton so we will have to drop by there friday on the way down.

LOL, If she doesnt want to goto the races, Waco has a mall!!! LOL

[progplb]

LOL, If she doesnt want to goto the races, Waco has a mall!!! LOL
She actually enjoys watching the races. She just gets a little nervous when I race and she definetly does not like to participate in one. :crossx: ( Adrenaline Rush is not her thing) :crossx: Who all that hangs out here on the forums is going to be racing... ( We gotta support our own )

[Rocket]

Who all that hangs out here on the forums is going to be racing... ( We gotta support our own )
I'll be in SDBA's ME class!!! :cool:

[sdba069]

I bet I can dig up one or two boats to show up with.

[FILUCKY]

Hey Garry, that office girl ya got sure is cute. Is that one of your daugters? :D

[sdba069]

Which one, my wife or my grand daughter? They are both pretty sharp.

[FILUCKY]

WOW! Is that your wife? She looks half your age! LOL....I love mess'n with ya.

[sdba069]

She is half my age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cheyenne372]

Hey Garry, that office girl ya got sure is cute. Is that one of your daugters? :D
Did he call her an "...office girl...."......?....... :rollside:
2-R's....I think I'll have some letters cut so that you can put that on the side of your trailer after her name!..... everybody needs a title!....:)

[sdba069]

Sure.............. but I'll let you and Dallas explain that to her.......... How's everything? I've been expecting big Mexico deer pics from you, what's up?

[Greaser]

She is half my age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya big pimp!!!!

[sdba069]

Ya big pimp!!!!
Hey Bert.......... Black was supposed to bring his boat by today. Just got back in an it's not here. Have you seen him? I left the gate unlocked for him.

[Greaser]

Hey Bert.......... Black was supposed to bring his boat by today. Just got back in an it's not here. Have you seen him? I left the gate unlocked for him.
Yea, I helped him pull the motor out this morning. Not sure what time he left out.

[sdba069]

Hey Bert.......... He pulled in about the time I hit the submit button on that last post. I figured you'd be with him.

[Greaser]

Hey Bert.......... He pulled in about the time I hit the submit button on that last post. I figured you'd be with him.
I would have, but I had to much stuff to do yesterday, so that I can make the trip next weekend.

[sdba069]

Cool !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cheyenne372]

2-R's:
Didn't make it to Mexico this year. Had a new computer system that went in at the store and dad had to have a stint put in his heart in October, so we thought it best to lay out this year.

[sdba069]

I understand the priority thing. Hadn't heard about your Dad. Tell him hello for me and hope he's doing good.

[Jay321]

Garry, How is the PGJ project? Or is it going at all? Are you going to make your target weight? I hope things are going well. If I can help give me a call. I'm getting more work done on the Manipulator II. I will be ready for Waco. I just hope I can run the number! Ha. I don't think that was ever much of a problem. Jay

[sdba069]

Hey Jay......... We've been keeping it a little quiet but I think the word is pretty much out now. Will probably pick up the hull this weekend. No idea if it came in, weight wise, where we wanted. Probably won't know until I get it back here and weigh it. I decided to do the intake and bottom, myself. Steve probably told you about the motor, pretty nice piece. Good luck on yours. See ya.

[Jay321]

Garry, Sorry if I'm the one that let the word out. I thought that it was known to all. Crap!! Well I can't wait to see how it works out. I'll call ya. Jay

[sdba069]

Hey Jay....... Don't worry about it for a second. It was already getting out anyway. We still aren't talking much about it and what we are doing, but word's out that we are doing something. I'll keep you updated. Was hoping to pick the hull up this weekend, but it's looking like the middle of next week.

[Cheyenne372]

Snowman...... :cool:
Keepin' a secret from an old bud ain't right....!!!
And for the record.....I am sure glad that Dr. Jay is returning!

[sdba069]

Hey 1R....... We've tried to keep it a little low key. I'll give you a call and tell you what I know.I'll be glad to see Jay back,also. Hell, I still haven't figured out what they are going to do with me and my trailer at the races this year. I may not even be there. I may have to get you to crew chief this boat.

[77charger]

How is the okc race in july?We plan on attending it this year if all goes well.Is it a new venue?(within last couple years)

[sdba069]

I'd recommend it. Last year was the first year for the Bricktown race.

[Rocket]

THE OKC race is Fantastic! :rollside:
There were over 80K spectators over the two day event! And I think we had something like 120+ boats!!!!!
The Pits were a little crowded,,,, But it was Cozy!!!!
But,, the Show and Shine down in Bricktown was an absoulute Gas,,, And teh track is one of the best I'f raced on!!!!

[Cheyenne372]

....Hell, I still haven't figured out what they are going to do with me and my trailer at the races this year.......
You know what you'll have to do with it and you know why!
Didn't you see your last newsletter? It specifically states, and I'll quote our leader, "...Bottom line here is the main purpose of a RV is for camping and the main purpose of an enclosed trailer is for storing or transporting a race vehicle..."
In a literal translation, which is what you should take from written words from the leadership, because you don't have a "race vehicle" in your trailer, you are an RV and you get to park with the rest of the Ramp Clutter....like me!...that is IF I was going race!...... :mad:
You're not a Bubble Boy and don't amount to squat....so you'll have to park it away from the pits....even though you help and support many racers during a weekend!

[Shark In The Pond]

Hey 1R....... We've tried to keep it a little low key. I'll give you a call and tell you what I know.I'll be glad to see Jay back,also. Hell, I still haven't figured out what they are going to do with me and my trailer at the races this year. I may not even be there. I may have to get you to crew chief this boat.
We could roll my boat in your trailer ,got the name on the side of the boat ? :rollside:

[sdba069]

Thanks Shark......... Hey 1R........ I don't get a newsletter. The last newsletter I got was the month I left the Board of Directers. Maybe, that in itself, should tell me something. I'm dropping a note right now the El Presidente. I'll let you know.

[Cheyenne372]

You need to stay in better touch with the peeps out here!
Might ask El Presidente how come you are still listed as a Director of the Association (through May 2006) and subject to litigation if an unfortunate incident was to happen. Seems their attorney is doing a fine job in keeping things current!
PM me and I'll send you the link so that you can see it for yourself!

[77charger]

havent read the whole trailer rv deal.Are there some races you cant bring them in we plan on coming from california with a 42ft motor coach and a 28ft stacker if we cant park in the pits might as well skip out on the races.
okc and waco races

[Shark In The Pond]

Another thing that very few people realize, all these years and you know how hard I work at the races and the number of boats that I help with, I have never charged anyone a dime, no matter what we were doing.
Thats no lie ! Damn near a line where you set up at . Then when your not there that poor girl had to put a sign that read if you ask where Garrys is it's $1.00 and she would have made good money !

[sdba069]

hey Shark... I shouldn't bitch. I helped because I enjoyed being involved. Hey Gharger........ My understanding is that if you are towing a boat , no problem. I don't carry a boat any more and use my trailer as a support unit. We do sometimes stay in the trailer also.

thanks no problem for us then it is about 75 ft in length overall moho we will sleep in trailer holds the boat and tow vehicle plan on running 8.0 bracket with a n/a flat

[Jay321]

Hey Garry, I have an extra cheyenne we could put in your trailer. Better yet I have a new cheyenne we can put in your trailer. Heck I might need to get you to drive the new cheyenne. Oh Ya you don't bracket race do ya. It has been so long since I have been on the clocks I will probably suck at it.
Thanks Cheyenne 372 for the welcome on our return to racing. I can't wait! I need to get my SDBA membership back to active status. Who do I need to get in touch with? Can it be done online ?

[sdba069]

Hey Jay... Guess I'm headed for Ark. Friday or Saturday. You should be able to get your membership things taken care of at the SDBA website.
SDBA (http://www.sdbaracing.com)

[Jay321]

Garry, I had hoped to be going back to Arkansas with mine this weekend but we still had a couple of things to do before we can. So how much bump are you going to put on the bottom. Ha! Ha! I know, I will have to see for myself won't I. So Garry you never said if you were a driver or not!!! I am kidding. Well have a safe trip if I don't talk to ya before you go. Garry I will be bugging you soon with some tech questions hope you don't mind, ie. to use computer or not? you know! Jay

[Cheyenne372]

..... Oh Ya you don't bracket race do ya.......
Thanks Cheyenne 372 for the welcome on our return to racing. I can't wait! I need to get my SDBA membership back to active status. Who do I need to get in touch with? Can it be done online ?
Jay:
First off, in PGJ, you ARE a bracket class now! Using the staggered start and the class record as your dial in makes you a bracket class just like us lowly M/E guys are!
Secondly, in regard to the membership, you should take care of that before Saturday (February 4) because it is at a reduced rate if it is done before the banquet.
2-R's is right, you can do it online, or contact Kenda Reedy at kenda.reedy@rrd.com or sdbapitmom@ev1.net or call (940) 320-4940.

[sdba069]

Hey Gary........ We are not crazy at all about the PCE deal, but we knew it would happen sooner than later. We've been planning this move to PGJ for a while and decided to go through with it, anyway.We'll see where it goes. You knew we'd have to conform to the west coast code of drag boat racing. I know why they've done it, but sometimes the dollar shouldn't necessarily be deciding factor.

[Cheyenne372]

......You knew we'd have to conform to the west coast code of drag boat racing. I know why they've done it, but sometimes the dollar shouldn't necessarily be deciding factor.....
So does that mean that we are going to conform with the "west coast code of drag boat racing" and slow down TFH and TAH boats now?
