Where are those Apache guys???
 

With the Don Aronow Memorial Race to be run on June 20th, there is a great deal of silence from the Apache camp.

This should be your kind of race...with the potential for big water it would be a walk in the park for some of the Apache boats.

Everyone has talked about missing the opportunity for the old open ocean water races and wishing they had been around in those times....well, here it is and it may only happen once....anybody in? Or is it just memories and watching others race on DVD's for this generation?

Rules and entry form can be downloaded off the HORBA site.

LOL....they are all getting fixed or updated! :D

Scared of the big cats I assume:hitfan:

Steve and Carl
 

Come on, Nykamp and ApacheCarl!

Don't let us down! :(:(

If someone wanted to pay ALL my expenses (before and after) I might consider... :)

Maybe they should bring the DA Memorial Race up to Lake Michigan---I'm sure they'll get some participants and on lookers from up here then. :D

That just might be a plan for the future ! You never know ...
We will be working on new locations to set up record runs !

We just would not trailer a boat to Florida. MI yes....FL, nope! But we do wish we could bring the Apache down and run her with all the others....that entire weekend will be something memorable!

I dont know, what is up with you all ??????!!!!!!!

You all spend a fortuned on your apaches and now your wining about the cost to be in an event like this ?!:angry-smiley-038:

Let me all tell you ,and i dont care what you think of me .
Yes i am crazy maybe a little stupid !
I cant pay my house ,may lose it but there is a lot more homes out there.
And yes i am going to do that race, u know wy ?!
Its only -1- event like this in a lifetime.
SO GRAB YOUR BALLS and lets GO !:cool-smiley-011:

THIS IS YOUR RACE !!!!!

Easier said then done but I wish you the best of luck in the race!

I'd love to know more info about your boat! Got any pictures and specs?

This would be fun tobring to the race

Its a 32 foot AEROTEK ,single 650 on a #4,some pics are in the race section.:evilb:

Get some Apache folks down here for this event its cheaper then any f.....pokerrun and probably alot more fun and exposure.:cool-smiley-011:

Gonna have to go ahead and disagree with ya on that one... Expenses for me to do that run would realistically be nearing $5-7K on a good day. Plus a poker run is a cruise, not a race. Now, if I were to compare doing the Key West poker run to this race, yeah it's about even or maybe even less but I don't do the KW run anyway.

I'd rather spend the $5-7K in gas running the boat the entire summer, sorry man I can't swing it.... The poker run coming up in NYC in two weeks from now is costing me $600 plus fuel.... :cool-smiley-011:

If I hadnt bought my Pantera I would be all over that.

I looked very hard to find that boat while I was searching. No luck, now it pops up! Sick looking boat.

Somebody buy that thing...

I thought about you when i found it last night. Figured you would have been all over it. I could never get that past the wife, no cabin or sunpad.

Your Pantera is bad azz too.

That Cherokee is unreal, weakest link is the drive though, should have a six/konrad on that and I'd think that thing would be fun as hell.

Ps I'm guessing Bravo drive from the pics....

It's hard to tell. I hope its soething a little stronger with the HP and weight of the boat.

Here are some more pics of it from yachtworld.

The magazines are already starting to cover the race with major stories and it is still 2 weeks away.

Still no Apache's entered. Will the history of this race be written without that great name included?

Somebody out there has to have a sense of history for this brand.

Lorne Liebel and John Tomlinson have just entered....thought they might use the new hole in the deck Apache that Lorne had JT do up for him over the winter, but they are going with a 46 MTI.

ALL TALK NO ACTION :party-smiley-004:

We would love to be able to part of this history making day, it just isn't going to happen with our Apache.

We do hope someone is able to represent the Apache's over the course of the weekend as they are such a big part of Aronow's legacy.

I think KAAMA is right with his comment if this was up in this part of the world, we would take part because we live here. It's why the comments of "where are all the Apache's" are coming from mostly Florida residents....they are already there.

The race is being held where it fittingly should be. Top Banana and those involved deserve major kudos for bringing this Memorial Race together, along with what appears all the pomp and circumstance it deserves. We wish everyone much success in the weekend and as Apaches owners of less than one year, we do hope someone owning an Apache in the area is able to be part of this event.

Has anyone contacted McManus??? He's in the area and could probably represent Apache best since it's his company!:eureka:

any horba sponsorship cash available? or exteame marine sponsorship for that matter..........

Give Larry a call , he will work with you.:rolleyes:

any news from cigarette....or will they "SKIP" this......m.m..

Cigarette ? ofcorse there are some in already.
Its just the apache guys that are scared so far!:drink:

Actually i did speak to him about this when looking for lowers for Dave, he has so much vested in P1 that this run doesnt offer him much, so he is opting out. after his reasoning, I understood it.

I just spoke to the owner of "Warpath" that is getting gone over as we speak with Gail and Tommy and looks like hes in, according to Gail and Tommy they will have the boat to him by the 18, if so its on........I cant waite to see that bad boy running........

why would the presant owner of Apache be there and not the currant owner of Cigarette?.........

Yeah, can't imagine how much it costs to send a boat overseas even it it's just a pace boat. :rolleyes::drink:

How many older boats are really running in this thing ?
Thinking very hard about joinng the fun.
Waiting to hear from HotDuck,see if he's going
Fountain Charlie said he's in

And the transportation over there too...
At least being in the business over here I know the rates...
I was myself kinda dissapointed about the Apache Tribe not being there but reasoning it´s nowadays normal people that has wanted like 20yrs to get an A and then buys a project so they don´t prolly have the coin and skill to take a boat out and really push it to the limits.

Reminds me a lot of Historic Racers..thats why I´m rather a Formula 3 Crew Chief...

But I´m also glad Twistana (see the ad in post #1) was repowered with 1200´s and is run hard....
