how big is Irvine Lake?

[V-DRIVE VIDEO]

The first one was cool, I will definately return.
p.s. there are more outings planned after this one in other places. :cool: :cool:

[1980SANGERV-DRIVE]

Where is Irving Lake???? :)

[Sangster]

So.Cal....

[HM]

1980SANGERV-DRIVE:
Where is Irving Lake???? :) I think Irving Lake is in Texas, but Irvine Lake is in Orange County, CA.
Oh yah, I'm going. :D

[Sangster]

Holy Moly..Have you had a chance to get those carb measurements... :D

[HM]

Sangster:
Holy Moly..Have you had a chance to get those carb measurements... :D Not yet!! Tomorrow I will visit my motor and get the measurements. :D

[Sangster]

Right On......

[Fired Up]

Never been to a Regatta. Is this like 1/8 mile racing, poker run, or just cruising around? Sounds fun and its close to home so I'm interested, but I've only run my boat in the 12 second bracket at Ming. No water pump, just a water pick up on the plate. So extended cruising is not an option.

[77charger]

We are signed up for this.Last time i went i went boatless but met some new people and still had a good time.Mainly there were some good speed runs being made but mainly cruising and relaxing.Cant wait for this event.We plan on camping there sat night.And its only 25 minutes to get there for me.

[Big Proppa]

Sounds like a blast - but probably will be at the river - if not I'll see everyone there!.

[TrailerparkTJ]

There are some cool pics of the last V-drive Regatta on Tom Timm's site...looks like it was alot of fun. Spect8foto (http://www.spect8foto.com/Irvine_V-drive_Regatta/V-Drive_Regatta.htm)

[BGMAN203]

I am going to try and go, need to drag the flat home from the river if i want to go, I will figure it out in a week or so.

[HM]

Registered today.
I am getting there way earlier this time as I missed the fast boats last time.
I am bringing my 20' Campbell this time. :D

[ColeTR1]

If your going don’t bring a trailer trophy. There are a lot of people that would like to get their boats wet. And make sure your motor has all the parts in it!!

It wasn't a trailer trophy at red rock.

[Moneypitt]

I guess I had too much fun at the last Irvine event. Last time, the first time, I reserved a place on my word to show up and pay at the gate. Now that the event has a following, due to the success of the first one, my word and cash at the gate are no longer acceptable. So have your credit card handy if you call to reserve a spot on the water, only 50 v drives, and one big fu*#@g wake board boat will be allowed on the lake that day. I know I should have a credit card for times like this, but I'm an old dog, and for me a credit card would be a new trick. So, I won't be there this time with my 68 hydroflite, I'm sure you guys and girls will have fun without me!!!.........Moneypitt

[SkiSangerDLX]

I have a 74' Schiada 18' Flatty for sale with no motor in the boat. I have already purchased my pass for truck and boat. I am currently working the staff at Irvine lake to not count my craft since it is not in floating condition (its stripped). In fairness to the others if I should sell this boat before the event I would be happy to give up my boat pass to someone that can better benefit from it. I will update as the event gets closer.
The last thing I want to do is keep anyone from being on the water.

I can tell you have never met Moneypitt. He has no need to break into his house. He goes down the chimney just like Santa Clause. :D

[Moneypitt]

This is one of those old neighborhoods where nobody locks anything. Cars/trucks open with the keys in them, houses/garages open, not locked, hell, we don't even have any keys to this house.(the old owner didn't either) However, most people on this cul de sac are avid outdoorsmen, hunters, fishermen, boaters etc. with GUNS and KNIVES, not to mention the DOGS and COPS that live here. We are very fortunate that crime hasn't found us yet....The one intruder that was shot dead might have something to do with our peace of mind.....Moneypitt, (keep calling me santa clause and I won't bring you anything for christmas, you bad boy!)

[Big Proppa]

Made my reservation Wednesday, should be alot of fun - I'll probably be there right when they open. See you guys there!.

[JWM]

Moneypitt:
No wake board boats on the water at this event. The ski school will be closed for this event.
The only wakes that might give you a problem are from 21 ft. Schiada V-Drive hot rods.
Jim Wilkes

[Moneypitt]

Jim, the wake board school was closed for the last one, yet the wake board boat was cruising around like he owned the lake. Coming in close to check out the hot v drives, never realizing the possible consequences of his innocent actions, due to the huge wake that barge is designed to make. The red "hot rod" boat was also "running the beach" kicking up un wanted swells towards the bobbing v drives that were anchored at the point. We all create wakes and waves, thats part of any type of boating, some people are just "limping through life" and are totally unaware of other people's space. Perhaps a simple explanation to the wake board guy would make him aware of his actions, and allow us all,(even him) to enjoy this event. Another point, there were certain fishmen boating on the lake during the last v drive event that had no respect for the lakes 5 mph limit they were/are suppose to honor, I will say that MOST of these boats did a good job of not swamping the anchored boats as they came in close for a look at the fine examples of hot boats. My old boat was never in any danger of damage, but some of the boats were bounced around pretty good, causing the owners to re-anchor to keep their rudders and props off the bottom. I'm sure a simple education to these fellow boaters,(non v drive) could explain the results of, and alter their actions....I'm still trying to reserve a spot, with the help of someone up north that is not "credit card challenged"..Moneypitt

[Kurtis500]

Is there going to be another v-drive regatta at Bluewater. Anybody know? Wish I could go to this one. cry
[ September 27, 2003, 12:37 PM: Message edited by: Kurtis500 ]

[JWM]

Moneypitt: The ski school can only get on the water after 4:00 PM that's when the lake is closed. No more fishing. after that the ski school has the lake. I talked with Dave and there will be no ski school the day of the V-Drive Regatta. It was a problem at the last regatta and Dave has made adjustment.

Does "no speed, noise restrictions (zoomies!!!) mean you can or cant get crazy?

Damn I sure hope I'm not on that list!... eek! :D :D

[Moneypitt]

At the first/last one, everyone got to strut their stuff....No speed or noise restrictions, getting crazy was OK, but there was a limit on getting stupid....all self imposed. As long we're all having fun, and not causing dangerous situations, its more or less a free for all........BE SAFE.....have fun!!!!!...Moneypitt

[GofastRacer]

I'll go along with that!.. :) :cool:

[dmontzsta]

I am sure everyone there will be faster than me. :(
I am VERY new to the boating thing and I am sure my boat is not set up too well. Its fast to me though.

[Moneypitt]

The nice thing about small boats with big motors, they all look fast!! Even on the trailer!!And they sure feel fast, even if they're not!!!........Moneypitt PS: Art, you gonna show up at Irvine??? Love to have ya!!!! Ray

[V-DRIVE VIDEO]

Art,
I got that prop off, if your coming I'll bring it! :cool:

[GofastRacer]

I would love to to make it sounds like a blast, but it's too long a haul for just one day and have to be back for work Monday!. Thanks Jerry, I appreciate it maybe next time. Besides the GN project is a PRIORITY and under way right now so the motor is out and under the bench till Needles.. :)

[MandDPerformance]

I Love this Irvine thing!!! A couple of questions for Carbon Marine. First off, thanks.
Was wondering if arrangements can made for a water truck? Is it in the same location? The Penninsula.
:) :) :)

[carbonmarine]

Hi,
I am afraid I cant answer the questions.
I was asked just to post the Info... Thats all.
I believe if any one has any additional questions or concerns ** The very best thing
to do is call the lake directly and simply ask..
From what I hear and what I am reading, this is going to be another great event !! The key is to make them better each time !! So. Everyone put there happy hat on and come on down.......
Rick32 / Carbon Marine. :cool:

[JWM]

Oct. 12 Irvine lake event is now sold out. Irvine has reached the 50 boat max. Spectators are still welcome.

My Happy Hat has been on since the last outing. Or is that my Jimmy Hat!!!!! :D :D :D

BEING FROM S.CAL I THINK IT WAS FUN HAVING A GET TOGETHER SO CLOSE TO HOME, I MEAN FOR ME LIKE 25 MIN DOWN THE ROAD. THE ONE THING THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A PROBLEM (ASIDE FROM MY ROOKIE DRIVING) WAS THE DIRT AND DUST. I LOOK FORWARD TO MANY OF THESE UP AND COMING EVENTS AT IRVINE LAKE.
