i was gonna go there with a bunch of buddies, we usually go every year...
however, we were told that the lake is too low to have any boats, so the event is off for this year cry ...
so im gonna go to nb's party instead since i am already in l.a. for christmas smile_sp

[cal***boat]

From what i understand everything is a go for New Years Day at CFW.
The lake level is up and alot of boats will be there.
Check the v-drive forum
We will be there just to watch and put some faces with all the people in here.

SHERMAN There will be lotsa room to park. And from what I understand, maybe 1000-2000 people there. We'll see. Make sure ya head on out to the South Shore where all the action is. Just come on in and close the gate behind ya.

[cal***boat]

Jim;
We are going to try to head out early Weds morn.
I have never been there so i dont really know how to get there from my place and how long it will take also.
e-mail me some directions and were you will be at on the lake.
Been trying to talk bruce into taking his hydro up to run it but he keeps coming up some kind of lame reason why he can`t make it.
It would be nice if he did show up, that way we would have a true 7 second hydro next to us. LOL
E-MAIL ME BACK, talk to ya soon, Dave

[BigBoyToys]

Here ya go Dave...from your place. It's pretty simple. Highway 20 into Yuba City, then tak highway 65 towards Lincoln/Roseville, take main St. in Wheatland and follow it on out to the lake.
1: Start out going Southeast on MAIN ST toward CA-29/CA-175. 0.50 miles
2: Turn LEFT onto CA-29/CA-175. Continue to follow CA-29. 14.23 miles
3: Turn LEFT onto CA-53 N. 7.41 miles
4: Turn SLIGHT RIGHT onto CA-20 E. 71.61 miles
5: Stay straight to go onto CA-70 S/E ST. Continue to follow CA-70 S. 4.55 miles
6: Take the CA-65 S exit on the left. 0.31 miles
7: Merge onto CA-65 S. 8.48 miles
8: Turn LEFT onto MAIN ST (Wheatland)

[SHERMANINATOR]

MORE STUPID ?'S IS THERE A FEE TO GET IN I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A CALI LAKE WE PRETTY MUCH HANG OUT IN NORTHERN NEVADA. BUT I WANT TO CHECK OUT SOME CALI LAKES AND THAT LOW ELEVATION IS THERE MARKERS FOR THE SOUTH GATE?
I ASSUME YOU CAN BRING BEER AND HOW EARLY CAN YOU SHOW UP THANKS MAN
SHERMAN

[BigBoyToys]

Show up when ya want....gate will be closed at the South Shore but unlocked. Just close the gate behind ya. I believe there is a day use fee of $5.00 ($10.00 with boat), but the South Shore store will not be open. North Shore store will be open though.... Get there before Midnight on New Years Eve and Hear (and see) all the boats fire'em up at midnight!

[BigBoyToys]

And yes...Bring all the Beer ya want (and then some). Should also be a live band there (there usually is).

[BigBoyToys]

Sherm...Should be about a 2 1/2 hour trip for ya.
Dave....should be about a 1 1/2 to 2 hour trip for you.

When you get to the end of the road hang a right to go over the bridge.

[Hud]

BBT, how much of that fuel did you want. I have a whole drum if you like. Or we can do as many 5's as you like. Merry Christmas, from the Hudson's.

Depends on which vehicles I take, I don't think a 55 gal drum will fit in the motorhome or Suburban....

[Hud]

Ok BBT, you do have my number don't you.

[BigBoyToys]

Hud:
Ok BBT, you do have my number don't you. i wrote it down somewhere's...probably lost it though (hectic week). PM me with it.

[BigBoyToys]

Ordered my Nitrous this morning :D ... Should be here Friday. :D
I had to order it before my 10% off Xmas present from Summit expired.

[BigBoyToys]

We also purchased a "backup" generator yesterday. Just in case...
And speaking of which, reckon I oughta go put the thing together and test it out before heading out to Arbuckle to do the Xmas thing.

Lol's yep might be a good ideal. Have a nice Christmas. Give me a call, see ya!!

[BigBoyToys]

Hey Hud, what's yer boat look like? I might have seen it out at CFW this year? We went to CFW probably 15 times this year....We ran 2 boats up there, an Orange Syndicate Jet with a wing on it and a White and Blue Biesemeyer Flat (SS/PS 33 on the Side of it). I ran alot of Drags in the cove with the Syndicate and Circles in the cove with the Biesemeyer....(only ran circles when no other boats were runnin' in the Cove out of respect for others)
Oooopppss..looks like I pissed someone else off! My Rating is dropping fast! LOL

It's the Black & Rainbow Howard sitting in the Cove in the readers rides v drive section. Hot Nutted boat.

[oldphart]

I only live 15 min. from CFW if the weather gets too nasty. I go every year and its usually a good party

Hey Big Boy Toys, when do you sleep!!!! You were on the computer all night. eek! No, I went to bed around 9pm and got up at 2:45 am. I usually get outta bed everyday (7 days a week, 365 days a year) around 3:00am. Never could figure out why....just a morning person I guess. Besides, when ya have 5 kids in the house fighting all day, sometimes the best times are when they are asleep :)

[SHERMANINATOR]

THNAKS FOR THE DIRECTIONS FELLA'S ILL SEE YOU GUYS OUT THERE SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TIME WEATHER PREMITTING.
WE DONT GET TO MANY RACES HERE IN NEVADA JUST ABOUT 10 OR 15 BOATS IN A GOOD WEEKEND FOR US BUT THIS WILL BE A TRIP THANKS AGAIN.
SHERMAN

[oldphart]

Be careful, there are lotsa boats every year and it seems like there is always some drunk sumbitch doing something stooopid. last year it was a fool in a vdrive repeatedly running down the shallow water no wake bouy about 30 ft off shore at about 60 per. But theres always nice boats, barbeque and tasty babes. ( Iguess theyre tasty momma watches me pretty close) But no bands

[SHERMANINATOR]

BEER,BOATS,BABES,BARBEQUE DOES IT GET ANY BETTER? OH I THINK NOT!
SHERMAN
