Eliminator Regatta

I just posted some information on the big board. My wife gave me the green light this weekend (considering its Mothers Day weekend). So I have been calling around trying to register today.

Who all is going to be there? Cat&Mice, your boats already out here. Elimi, going to make the journey? Cattitude, if you were willing to pull the jeep out here, why not that 95mph hot boat? STONE, kick Dr. Semper in the butt and have yours done by then - your a local! Turbojack, why next year?

Not this year, daughter has project prom that weekend & my wife is president of the event. She has been working on this for the last 3 years. So, guess who wins, Turbojack to reqatta or Project Prom.

U.T., Catitude, and all others that we've talked to. (No one excluded) We'd like to put a face with the names that we've seen on the board. We are driving out from Virginia and would like to talk to some folks when we get there that have posted or replied to us. This is the 1st regatta that we've been to, have heard great stories and lots of fun. Are getting really stoked about this trip, only 5 weeks away. Dewinterizing boat this weekend and making adjustments.

Could someone tell me the altitude of Lake Havasu so we can make the proper adjustments.

Am putting 2" shorty on 25' single-step daytona. Will post results once tested.

Hi guys, Just too much going on right now- two jeep competitions in April, Tina will not be in favor of a Havasu run when the dust still has not settled.

S.A.M. The offer is there if you want to stop this way coming or going.

I wonder if I could get any takers if we did an Unoffical regatta at say Grand lake in NE Oklahoma, it's a big lake with all the hotels, clubs etc?

Cattitude – There’s an outside chance in late July, early August. Put us down as possible. Do you know any web sites on the location to entice us?

Cattitude

Sign me up for this trip. I wlll drag along friend (non computer person) that has 28' daytona also.

I go along with UT times. Any rv parks for Motor Homes? If not, I think I could stay in hotel.

UT- try this site

Most everything is on the southern 1/2 of the lake. I think I'll start a separate thread after I make a few calls.

Catitude, do I smell "road trip"? We might be pursuaded for a little detour. Perhaps a few good sites for my family to see and lots of pictures for the takin'.

How far off I-40 are we talking? We will be coming back during the week after the regatta. Are there hotels and such along the way? Maybe we can spend a day on the water.

Having a good time is what it's all about. Send details.

[Cattitude]

S.A.M.- We are about 60 miles North of I40, you take 540 north (Prev route 71), the Juction is just east of Ft Smith, AR.

Plenty of Hotels (Wal-mart land), just none "on" the water. There some of "cabin" type places- nice ones, just mom & pop style that are on the water with Ramps and slips etc.

Not a lot of tourism here except for the lake. Branson is about 2hrs NE of here if you like Country- huge tourism area.
