So..Is anyone really going to go?.. I know the heatwave is the same weekend.. IÂ’m excited about that and going to watch it for sure.. I remember everyone talking so much Sh*t about the BBSP that they had to move to Bench Racers.. We'll Looks like most of them are still bench racers and are not really going to the bbsp..
WhatÂ’s the deal? I need to know if Im going to run low or fill my tanks up..

Directions are easy, follow the water to the left then turn right at the tree then go left, down the steep hill. At the bottom of the hill there is a light turn right. Go straight till you see the bridge then all the boats will be on the right hand side. Got it - good.
:D :D :D
Just follow jackpunx and be careful coming in as some idiots like to fly through all the reeds... And yeah Mark there should be a few peeps out there. There was a lot of people in needles last week talking about going that had some serious hardware. KELLY

Bring it out Mirvin. It's as much a social event as it is a racing event.

Thanks for the pics Randy, nice to see the old red boat front and center. We have about ten boats coming from Nor Cal should be fun. From what I heard Friday is the the day for the fast boats to play and saturday is all about the party!!!

Well its called the big block spanking party... From what I understand.. you should be fine with a prop boat.. I have one.. But be careful. just follow someone in and keep your eyes on the ground:D .. the directions are on this post.. Between the river mouth and the big sandbar.. there is a little sandbar on the left if your going north.. I think thatÂ’s where a lot of people will be hanging.. its just across from that in the reeds.. Someone correct me if Im wrong.. Ive never actually been. Look forward to seeing you there.. I think Im going to leave thurs night.. so that I can be there to watch the big boyz run on fri...

It easy to find. Go past the first set of bouys and look for the river to spit off to the right at a slight angle, follow the river and you'll see everyone on the right. It's at a place called speed alley.

Is it better to show up Earlier on Friday or later? Also Is the place where you drive into is that the same "Speed alley" the boats will be running in? Just don't want to be upsetting people. When I come idling in the shallow parts and the other boats are getting it on.

You have to cross "Speed Alley" to get to the beach, so dont come flying in. and it gets shallow if you head straight at the beach on your way in, keep your eyes open and you'll be fine.

sounds like a god time. I will be out there thursday night. I thnk I will show for the show on friday.
Let me get this straight and please correct me if I'm wrong.
Going Up river from havasu go PAST the no ski bouys and when the main river goes left we go right and up into speed ally!
Cruis across the race track and park on the beach?
