2003 DC MD VA WV NC PA (Mid-Atlantic) Winter OSO Chill-Out
We did this last year at Hooters in Fredericksburg, VA. The event was a raging success, and since several people have asked about it already for 2003, lets get started:
We are going to do it again in either Richmond or Fredericksburg. Last year we had a 3-2 ratio vote to go with Fredericksburg over Richmond, but we lost a lot of folks from the HRPBA by going with Fredericksburg. I was able to get $59 hotel rooms last year right across the street from the restaurant.
I am proposing a two event setup for 2003; with at least the Dinner & Social hour taking place before the Miami Boat Show (February 13-17th, 2003). This will take place in either Fredericksburg or Richmond, based on votes solicited next month.
The second event which will also be coordinated next month, and promoted at the 1st gathering, will be an afternoon or evening of organized Professional Go Kart Heat Racing at All Sports Gran Prix in Dulles, VA. This venue is literally minutes from Dulles International Airport, with dozens of hotels, restaurants, and even a mall very closeby. I have done two organized heat racing event 'parties' at this venue, and let me tell you, this is not kid stuff. You must be 18 with a valid drivers license to race, and after a couple hours of racing, you are damn tired.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED...
PHYSICALLY TYPE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS in a REPLY to THIS THREAD, so I can easily compile a list for email distribution. I am not going to send a bunch of emails or PMs to folks via OSO. It gets cumbersome.
Please pass this along to the CBPBA, RPBA, and HRPBA, as well as to other Avid Boaters you know. This whole purpose is to get us all together in the middle of the off season, to chat and enjoy the sport of powerboating, even though most of us are going to be high and dry.
