ADDITIONAL EVENT FOR OFF2011!
We got word today that Wilson Custom Marine Race Shop in Stuart will be hosting an Open House on Friday morning from 10:00AM -2:00PM. Their address is 3340 SE Gran Park Way, Stuart, FL 34997. This is Jackie, Mark and Craig Wilson, the amazing 3 generation racing family. We are extremely pleased to add this event to OFF2011 and are certain that you will be pleased. Their website is www.wilsoncustommarine.com/Home_Page.php or facebook at http://www.facebook.com/people/Wilso...470471?sk=wall You can RSVP from the Facebook Wall. So, Friday can be a very full and exciting day for you with 3 events. It would be possible to attend Wilson Open House at 10:00AM, then go 15 miles south and drop your boat at Wylder’s/Jupiter Point Club & Marina, at 11:30AM, then go 16.5 miles to attend Geico Race Shop Open House until 4:30PM, and then return to Wylder’s for the party starting at 5:30PM. CARE AND FEEDING OF YOUR BOAT AT OFF2011 We are truly looking forward to your presence at OFF2011 and think we have pretty well covered the care and feeding of you. However, we have not yet said much about the care and feeding of your boats if you are bringing them for display and/or running on Saturday. Prior to Friday at 11:30 you are pretty much on your own unless you make arrangements with Cadillac to park them at his place. His e-mail is [email protected] and his phone number is (772)285-2256. Starting Friday at 11:30 Lauren Hamer & John from the Geico Race Team will be at Wylder’s/Jupiter Point Club & Marina to receive and park your boat. You can contact Lauren on her cellular phone (561)847-1680 as you approach the area. Lauren and John are the same folks that parked you at Abacoa last year and we are extremely grateful for their help. Once you are parked, you will be asked to disconnect and move your vehicle from the display area. Please bring your own wheel chocks. Lauren & John will be remaining on location to provide security. You are then free to proceed to the Geico Race Shop for their Open House. Later that evening, after the party at Wylder’s, you can remove your boat or you can leave it overnight and pick it up on Saturday morning. Jupiter Point Club & Marina will have security on site throughout the night. LASTLY, If you still need the basic OFF2011 details except for the Wilson Open House, you can simply go back to page 1 of this thread. Unless something significant pops up, this will be the last update. We look forward to seeing YOU at OFF2011 – Cadillac McDaniel, Jim Hauser, Steve Sirois |
Off2011 Auction Procedures
It is now 10:45 Tuesday night. On my way home from a late meeting, Jim Hauser called me to tell me that OFF has been cancelled…..JUST KIDDING ☺. But hopefully that got your attention. What he really told was that we have received another substantial item for our auction. He told me what it is, and I’m excited, but I don’t have enough details yet to be comfortable releasing it. Perhaps tomorrow. I will be on the road tomorrow, so if you only get this by e-mail, you will have to go to http://www.screamandfly.com/showthre...ff-2011/page15 or later page to find out more. ALSO, I can now tell you that the auction procedures have changed a bit. The basic auction will now take place at 12:00Noon Saturday at Cadillac’s BYBLOS. At least one item of significant value (possibly the new item) will be held back and sold by lottery. I don’t yet know the price of lottery tickets, but they will be sold both at Cadillac’s and at Sugarcane Bistro Saturday evening where the lottery drawing will take place. Right now I’m just too darn tired to tell you more. Gotta get some sleep now so I can drive to Jupiter tomorrow. Best Regards from “One of Three” – Steve Sirois

Those of you looking at the pictures above of Don Pruett and Bill Sirois, two of the greatest Offshore racers of all time, might take note of something they had in common. Did you notice the boats they are seated in? Are they 44'MTI's?...Are they 42' OL's?....Are they even Offshore race boats?
You don't learn to drive a Coast Guard Cutter or an aircraft carrier without small boat training first...and racing a 110+ mph outboard tunnel hull prepares you for anything a fast Offshore boat can throw at you. You also learn set up, props, finding the "edge", and hull tuning basics that teach you to not simply throw more horsepower at every problem... Where do you think JT, Jerry Gilbreath and Joe Imprescia started....in a 40 foot Skater?....Heck no, but they represent the best in the sport.....and Brownie's exploits to the Bahama's in a 16 foot Donzi speaks volumes. Even Aronow built a 17 foot tunnel hull and set a diesel kilo record in a small vee. Something to think about as gas prices are spiraling upward and dollars are getting tighter. You can race a smaller model and get greater satisfaction.... T2x |
Who knows what the ramp is like at Timer Powers Park? I understand the water level is down and there may be a problem launching our jersey skiffs there.
There should be a half dozen or so skiffs for the show at Wylders Friday night, We are looking forward to it. Richie |
Timmer Powers Ramp
That was true a month ago but it's fine now.

I scored a couple of Woody Wax boat clean up kits today and dropped them with Laura this afternoon. Woody Wax is directly across the street from me and they were kind enough to pitch in. We'll see you this evening, and tomorrow
