NO DRAGS. NOT WORTH THE TRIP UNLESS YOU HAVE A BOAT TO RUN. I'D SAVE IT UP FOR RED ROCK...THEN YOU COULD PARTY ALL WEEKEND WITH EVERYONE. THAT WILL BE WELL WORTH YOUR DRIVE.

But.... the roundy rounds at Long Beach are some of the best races I've ever seen. And I've been to lots of races of all types.
If you ever get the chance to go to the beach and see the GNs, Crackers and SS boats (hey maybe even a few REAL K boats too) you really should do it. You can watch so close that you almost get wet!
It really is that good of an event. I'ed skip a winston cup race to go to the beach any day!
Don't sweet a bear cart, they let you bring coolers and even your gas grill if you want. No alcohol so a plastic cup is the way to go.
Somehow I've made plans to go to another event so I won't be there. First year I've missed it in a long time. Kinda bummed about that but I'm fired up for the CBBB even at the river.

Roger broke his arm he's O.K. :) Nosty's were seperated and it worked out well. If you look at the pictures on this thread you'll see Chuck Kraft in the yellow and orange "B" boat #134. He told me he would love to go to Washington and race his old friend George Nordling. :cool:

[lady racer]

Rodger is in ICU and has a small puncture in his lung , a laceration to his spleen and a compound fracture to his left elbow and will be having surgery in the late afternoon tuesday. He is in good spirts and is one pissed off injun that wants out of the hospital.

[lady racer]

P.S. Rodger is only pissed because he missed the 20 laps in GN 13 was really looking forward to that race
