Chris, lets see if we can set something up for one of the V drive events at Irvine. I know I know, they are called v drive events but maybe they would accomodate you guys.

[Squirtin Thunder]

Where should round 1 of the power tour be?
I was going to say the water but it was not on the list.

[Cs19]

Tony, hook it up, that would be awesome.

[Jetboatguru]

I will talk to the people that put that deal on and see what they can do.

[HBjet]

I say Big River... Needles is still too cold :yuk:
HBjet

[Cs19]

Hb, lost lake!!!!...cmon man,we gotta bring it back!!! Those old videos of Swanson,Oster and Ben Williams got me all fired up to race there this summer.
Needles has a serious holeshot goin on at this point. :idea:

Ok, Lost Lake will be the kick off point! I'm down with that... Old Skool it is... we should even bust out the Zinka War Paint!!!

hb have it end at yuma that would attract a pertty good crew ..i would be there fo show ... and the rest of the sd crew ....

How About Piru..... I Hear They Have Some Serious Action Up There

[victorfb]

how about lake skinner? :)

[LGCDEVIL]

Voted South. I too am a snatch when it comes to cold water.

[Nucking futs]

LL or Big River should be the kick off.It gives me a goal and a date to finish the SWTD....

[Cs19]

You can see who voted where if you click on the numbers up by the results.

[RCB19]

I say kick it off down river at any of the locations from BR on down. Water is a little tits cold in the spring up at Needles area. Plan that deal when it gets hotter in the middle of summer. I really don't care I'll show where ever the claim is. Haven't been down to the Yuma area since I was a kid so I'm kinda lookin forward to that deal. We used to go to resort real close to Imperial Dam down there.

[screamdreambrad]

i say we start south and work up to needles. yuma,blythe,lost lake,big river,needles.

[Wicked Performance Boats]

I guess there's more boats with balls than snatches! Needles is ahead. Budlight :yuk:

[BUSBY]

Well ... at the time of my vote ... I saw 30 boats possibly? That's a great turnout ...
Tony, I spoke to Dave at Irvine Lake about a 6-8 weeks ago ... he was saying do to the insurance/rules/board of supervisors ... that Jets were not allowed there ... but that he would let me know if that changed ... you've been out there w/ him and might have better pull ... I think that Irvine would be the perfect place AND get a huge turn out ... you know you have Chris' and my support (along with others I'm sure), shoot it's only 5 minutes from my house ... I could throw one serious party on the Saturday night of the event ... that would be killer!

That used to be called Imperial oasis now is called hidden shores. 9 hole golf course and the new launch ramp and club house may be close to completion. It has been completely re done shooting for a 5 star resort. that is why they asked us to leave.

[maxwedge]

I'm going to go ahead and vote for the Illinois River, but it's only because I can't make the drive otherwise. :)

[Dogballs]

I vote Yuma of course because it will have the smoothest conditions, warmest water and best bar. (the place fukin rocks, if you didn't vote Yuma I would be willing to bet you have not been there) However, I think after the voting ends the place will be determined and the weekend should be carved in stone.

[AZKC]

South of Parker :crossx:

[slowasscp]

how bout elsinor we can all go test :)

[Cs19]

the polls are starting to even out. :)

[Jetboatguru]

Chris, careful when you use the word Poll. You may get Kim Hanson or Lucky in here looking for action

[Cs19]

i believe those 2 smoke the other kind of pole.

[Sangster]

Tony...When Kim & Lucky see your New Avatar, They won't be thinking of anything else...... :rolleyes:

[djdtpr]

I voted Yuma.I am going to start the season off in the usual Blythe area to get used to the new setup and shizzle and work all the bugs out of it.After that though its game on for the rest of the season.

[Jetboatguru]

Exactly!!

[n8dawg]

My vote is for BR. How bout a little tribute to the FC3 from last May! The weather hot the water warm and the barley pops cold!
Look you guys need to pick a spot (BR) We'll all get together and talk about which spot to hit up next. And if that doesn't work I'm sure there will be a number of guys who just wouldn't mine one bit racing over it!!!!!!!! :argue: :crossx: :crossx: :rolleyes: :) :idea:

Chris,
You have videos of boats racing at Lost Lake? (You know thats what we need is a movie about the river racing scene, like Two Lane BlackTop.)

[Hustler]

You guys now what my vote is. Some one mentioned doing Needles later in the summer when the water warms up, if you wait the water will suck until school is back in, not to mention caming at Needles Marina Park will be tougher. Just something to think about.

[steelcomp]

I voted Lost Lake. Hell, what do I know...I've never been any of these places. OK, well, I've been to Needles and BHC/The AVI once, Havazoo with ***boat, and it was blown out, and Rainbow Beach a LONG time ago. This is going to be pretty f'n cool!

[beerjet]

I got an idea , LETS GET TA GETTIN :crossx:

[Cs19]

Lost lake is making a strong move... We could be seeing some serious racing going on if we end up there.
We could also have a serious party in the camp ground. :220v:

[Dogballs]

Lost Lake would be my second choice because of water conditions and Shell Beach would be pretty rad stacked full of hotrods. I made trips to all these spots last summer and NOT to piss off the majority here but Needles doesn't handle boat traffic because its narrow and the sides are rock which flucks up the water real good.

[1978 Rogers]

start up north and work south lol
Yeah, North like the Northwest. Good call Olbiezer. :)

[djdtpr]

I dont care where we end up at as long as it isnt needles,going to cbbb there once a year is plenty for me.Rocks suck,rock bars suck and so do rocky beaches.Aha or lost lake would be cool as long as we can still have the strippers and the slipn slide oh and a huge bucket of licoriche.

Well said Senior Bendejo, you forgot plenty of Bush Beer as well, if ya know what am talkin bout. :cool:

[Cs19]

When should we make the decision? New Years Day?
It doesn't matter where we end up in May, by the end of summer we will have hit all the spots. :)
Im not gonna throw out my sales pitch on LL, I just hope we get there on an off weekend so we can have some races there, its a bitchen place to race and all the drag boats will come out and put on a show.The camping could be fun too before it gets hot.

I'm really suprised you even get out of your truck when you get to the river. You guys have fun down south, We wont be going down river till later in the year when the kid can travel.

It's all good by me as long as it's south of Blue Water. We used to race at LL long ago(before jet ski's) and it was cool, that's why I voted for it. I was even the LAST boat on the River there several times. Anyway, I got my ceramic coated headers back this morning. Guess I should bolt them up and get ready. Have a nice Christmas one and all. RR

Joe if i could fit a slipn slide,strippers a keg of beer and a few pounds of cheese in the truck i wouldnt get out. :smile: I am sure we will end up at the river sometime together this summer,we always seem to.Let me know so i can bring the crash helmet.

Imperial Oasis... That was the place. Lot's of memories down there. Too bad they have to tear down places like that but time moves on and money talks.

[Cs19]

Im just gonna call it since noone replys..Get your votes in by new years.
Late.

[Cs19]

Needles is the spot by just a few votes, will it stick? :boxed:
Those of you lurking that are gonna come, register and place your votes by New Years Day.While your here introduce yourself and tell us about your sled. :)

Com' on let's see a little love for the southside, YUMA! YUMA! YUMA!

Needles? Way to cold that early in the year and TOO many rocks. I'll catch the tour further south later in the summer. Hope everyone has a happy and prosperous 2006! RR

I agree with you DJD

[moneysucker]

I missed the anouncement. Was the official unoficial tally Yuma for the first stop? Perhaps you all missed out on the vinyl decal bribes that I could not offer until I figured out my plotter. Hmmm? C'mon. I will mail decals until the water is 65. C'mon. So first stop was Yuma right? What should the decals read anyways, theorhetically of ourse if there was some kind of gathering (Beginning in Yuma)

[Cs19]

Bring your sleds out to Needles and try something new.You've got all summer to run at your local spot.
First weekend of May, its on...
:2purples:

[Cs19]

I missed the anouncement.
its 100% officially unoffical that Needles had the most votes, it sawed off yuma by 10.
we'll hit Yuma on one of the next stops later in the season.. :skull:
there were almost 70 voters, that'll work. :idea:

[moneysucker]

OK, Ok. As long as you are sure there are no dangling chads. Did we have any Florida voters? We may need a re count. I should be there even in the balls cold water. Someone post the details for reservations and what the decals should read. If OP6 and FBC gets them, we should.
Cy
You sure Yuma lost? OK, Now time to vote for location # 2.

[mirrorimage]

shoot cs save yuma for the last run that way i can make it and hang out with money bags .... and the yuma crew .. :boxed:

If it stays warm like this for another weekend I'll be at Elsinore killing algae! Feels like Spring is here already. RR

Needles first weekend of May is on. Talked with some dudes today who are fired up, its officially unofficial.
Bring your sled and some money for blackjack and toddies. Im staying at the AVI.

[Dogballs]

This will actually be killer cause the water is always high in the spring and too cold for wave runners and schit so the water conditions will be 10 times better than CBBB with sea poos everwhere fuggin it all up.

[moneysucker]

OK now seriously, Anybody want stickers cut for this unoficial event. I will do them in a couple colors and they will be promotional for CYCO Vinyl. Let me know what they should say and how many and I will come up with a sample.

[Cs19]

The other day at the boat shop i heard there isnt a name, so i dont know what you would put on your stickers.
just make sure you show up, you missed way to many trips last season $sucker. :)

[Squirtin Thunder]

Make it simple "River Rods"

[moneysucker]

I kind of liked the Insane Power Tour. myself but whatever. I have a wetsuit so I can go to needles.

[moneysucker]

Oh yeah, My plotter will be in my trailer at the races, Both NJBA and IHBA, so I better not see any shoe polish, tape, home depot mail box address #s on any boats. I am cheap. Let me know what you need. Rubber Ducky is still sporting the Walmart mail box stickers for his CA#s to piss me off. Loser.

AVI works for me. We can just launch right there and head down towards sofa kings place. There are some killer sandy beaches in between the 2, and if anyone wants to lose in a friendly game of shoes, just let me know.
