I know, I'm gonna look pretty funny towing that trailer over there behind my car, walking around aimlessly looking for a cold beer and just generally being lost, the boat will be dirty, no fresh coffe in the morning, god only knows what else the two of them do for us that we don't notice. :(

Depends if you want to see finals or more boats run....Sat has more boats running....

[creepingcharlie]

[stoker2001]

Cant wait,whacker went down hard in RB in second round.Inboards beware in Chow:D Come by pit#561 and say hey to MRS and crew

[TAF]

Yep we're going. What day would be better to go to, sat. or sun?
On Sat. all boats have a chance to run 2 times so thats your chance to see the most boats run. Sun. eliminations means a couple didn't qualify and others only run once while 2 in each class get to run 3 times:idea:
:D

The overwhelming feeling of guilt has me thinking I can leave the 3 of them behind and I could get there in a hurry :D . I can find some fresh coffee, cold beer, make sure noone is walking around aimlessly and I could even clean the boat :D :D :D :) .

Dia, boatracers are very superstitious. Have you been at the IHBA races Urban Menace has won?

[Mrs.Racer277]

Dia, boatracers are very superstitious. Have you been at the IHBA races Urban Menace has won?
You HAD to go and say it out loud???? Not the IHBA :eek: :confused: :idea: :idea:

[Jetboatguru]

Hmmmm,:idea:
It might be a good idea if you didnt go to Chowchilla then. These things are weird but you might not want to mess with what is working. .... If they dont win in Chowchilla then you are free to attend the others. :D :D

[Mrs.Racer277]

Thanks :(

[Jetboatguru]

Its nothing against you Dia. You would be amazed at the rituals and superstitions that are out there. If Kevin (boat owner) is not the last one to shake my hand when I hit the water he will have the boat pulled back out of the water and shake my hand again. You know about the whole color green thing. Same shoes, same shirt etc etc. I know of 7 other TAH teams that would love for you to go to Chowchilla.:D :D

[Jordy]

Have you been at the IHBA races Urban Menace has won?
She must have been shopping that day... :D :D :D
You HAD to go and say it out loud????
He just said what we were all thinking... :)

I heard there's a big sale that weekend at the mall. Feel free to look all you want, but please don't buy. Sean doesn't have time for an 8th full time job!!! :notam: :D

[Jetboatguru]

Dia, I say screw superstition and come to chowchilla. It is only 2 hours from Bakersfield. You are missing out on the best part of racing. Winning!:D

If I go I get to celebrate my anniversary in Chowchilla?????

[Jetboatguru]

If I go I get to celebrate my anniversary in Chowchilla?????
There are not many people that can say that Dia! The town is very underrated. Farnesi's for dinner (CHicken Fried Steak a specialty) Shift over to the bar (also Farnesi's,) watch a bar fight or two, a short little drive to the romantic Merced and there is night life galore. The Sir James is a great place for a romantic interlude. Then back to Chowchilla for the sweet smell of Nitro and Alcohol. You just don't realize how good you have it!:D

[TAF]

If I go I get to celebrate my anniversary in Chowchilla?????
Is if you don't go to Chowtown Sean doesn't get to celebrate his anniversary either? :( :DSean:idea: Besides Dia, w/ all the people you know there probably isn't a weekend free all year that one of them doesn't have a B-Day , ehh? I say invite Tina along and if she has a man, like he ain't gunna be up for going to the :) races:idea:

[Racer277]

Anniversary in Chowchilla, it's better than getting an alternator as a gift.:rolleyes:
Yes Rob, every weekend someone has somewhere she needs to be.
Also, Tina's husband Geza is too pretty for the drag boat races....:D:D
This guy looks cleaner after a few hours in the dezert than I do when I get out of the shower...

Yes I met Geza and Tina at Dia's B-day party. We don't want someone get'n jealous if the girls start flocking around Geza at the boatdrags. Tell 'em to bring their boys, I'm bringing mine to Chowchilla and there'll be many others around for 'em to hang out w/. I haven't seen John Swanson's kids in a few races, are they coming?:idea: Sean, when are you headed up? So did you get Dia a vacuum cleaner w/ cell phone attachment ?

[boat030]

Well if your really going you can pick me up on your way thru Paso so I don't have to drive :D

[Unforgiven]

So did you get Dia a vacuum cleaner w/ cell phone attachment??

Dancing and drinking, Photo Chic :sqeyes: was there and so was the original PC, Eddie:idea: A great time was had by all.

tony looked a little lonely out there.:idea: what happened to all the roundy round guys?:confused:
But the girl kept her distance:eek: Teresa the barefoot waterskier was trailing behind on a 200 ft. rope. My sis got a great photo of her in action. She is such a happy person (greatest smile) to have in our pits and hope she hangs out w/ us in the future again. She also made sure a couple of us enjoyed the last beers in our pit Sun. evening. When Tony was out there alone I think he didn't feel lonely, he just wanted to put on a good show and have some fun in the boat. I'm jealous! I wonder if / when they might sell that "traffic cone"?:idea: :D I have to start training my son. Maybe the Guru would help. It was great to meet & see Christina driving the King Kong in river racer. :D

[boat030]

She also made sure a couple of us enjoyed the last beers in our pit Sun. evening.
were those the last two beers that we had? :eek:

[TAF]

were those the last two beers that we had? :eek:
Yep, dem were it! Aren't we special! No, Teresa is the special one. What a dear. So, did you scare:( :mad: any driver's by talking to their boat owners while you were cruising through the pits?:idea: Any leads or rumors we can start? You know this is the internet right?:) :D

[boat030]

Unfortunately all they would be is rumors so far
