Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

So when can we officially start talking about the World's????? Not that I'm counting the days or anything. :drink:

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Not to early for me. Reservations are already made for me. Cant wait.

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

What is the date? Key West is great anytime, but I would like to go to the races.

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

We are officially booked into our hotel rooms and running down with the FPC on the Thursday run. Coming home Sunday. VERY excited about it!! :evilb: Never been to Key West, can't wait!

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

the word on the street is that OSS isnt competing in Key West this year...any truth to it ?

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

From what I've heard OSS was not invited to race this year. Which is a shame, because it was a great show last year.
Not sure if I'm gonna make it this year, but still planning on it. I'll figure something out... :D :drink:

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Flights and room already booked. Tried to get a room at the
Gallion and they already have a waiting list.

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

I heard that without the boats from OSS there may not be enough boats for the city of Key West to allow the races.

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

we'll be there again this year.

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

That's not the case. SBI and APBA will be able to provide plenty of boats. I was there the year there was only about 14 boats, no SBI or APBA and they still raced.

Hey Bobby, we rented a house this time! I'm sure we will be having some "get togethers."

Any word on the OSO party?

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Not to early. I cant wait to go even though we have four runs planned before then. I heard OSS is planning on racing in St. Pete the same weekend. However, nothing beats Key West in November. In my opinion, FPC equipment is superior to OSS boats anyway.

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

where are the best places to stay? i would like to keep my boat in the water where i stay. any suggestions? what are the dates? thx, ratman

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

We're booked, we're ready, we're preppin', and the wife says go :banana: but we'll se closer............:rolleyes:

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

We are doing the Thursday run, Key West is a blast!! Bring a swimsuit, T-Shirt and a pair of sandals and your set. :D

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Never too early :rolleyes:

Already booked a condo at Hyatt Vacation Club :drink: :D :eek: :evilb: :chimp: :rolleyes: :cool: :p

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Now that's just what I heard. If this is wrong shot the guy that told me this :eek: not me.

We were there last year and had an awesome time. :D I was disiponted to hear that it may not happen.

My biggest problem is finding a place to stay. The Gallion is booked. :(

HELP!!!!!

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Depending on how many days you plan on staying, and its not downtown, but very nice, try the Hyatt Beach House.

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

We've done the Spring poker run to Key Largo (w/Chet Huffman) but never went further than that. Although by the looks of your boat we'll be chasing you! We'll be in a Tiger :D See you on Thursday!

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

What's the story on OSS in St. Pete. I was actually considering that as an alternative to KW this year. (I was born down there, got married on the beach there, and wanted to save a couple $$ over what I'd spend in Key West).

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

We are staying at the Cuban Club Suites on Duval. No word of any official party as of yet, But Im sure someone will put something together.

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

For all of you who havent been before, In my own opinion, The races during the week at Key West are just an added bonus to the full week of partys and get togethers. I wouldnt care if they were just racing rubber ducks, it would still be the best week of the year hands down

The Florida Powerboat Club will have close to 200 boats participating this year and they can party as good or better than any racing association out there..trust me !!. My point is, 2 boats 20 boats or 15o race boats, it doesnt matter, Key West is the place to be in November


See you all there

Bob

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Key West is sooo much more than the races....You just have to see it to believe it ! :D

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Never been there before, but this looks like the year. I'll know more in 2 weeks. Will be driving the boat down from DC. Any DC boys want to make a trip? I'll have a CC Dually with cold AC and Colder beverages. Maybe even a chic. :argue: :argue: No I get her in Georgia, No i get her in North Carolina :D :D

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

It is never too early. Booked it months ago. If you have not been there, try to stay within 5 blocks of Duval (North End). Don't get stuck at one of the hotels out by the airport. It can be a hike.

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

NEVER too early. We have been booked for a couple of months now. We are getting married down there on the 17th of Nov. as well as watching the races. We get in on Tues and leave on Mon. As soon as I get the time worked out I will post an invitation for all to come. We will party all night because no racing on Friday. YAHOO!!!

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Well said. I couldn't agree more.

Everyone said that I had a great time last year - I wish I could have remembered some of it. :D :D

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Well then, let me start.......boy do I have a story for you !!!! :eek:

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Cant wait!!! We were discussin the OSO party this weekend ... we need to start plannin it :drink:

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Party???

Whats That??? :D :D

I'm there for the racing :rolleyes: :drink: :drink: :drink:

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Watched the '04 Key West FPC run DVD last night and all I have to say is IT'S F*CKING ON!!!! :eek: :drink:

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Tank you're gonna' want to move to FL after your trip. There is nothing like Key West. It's kind of like a tropical mardi gras with not so many homelss people. If OSS is racing in St. Pete the same weekend someone can stay at my house because it's gonna be lame and I'll be in Key West.

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Is there going to be a Scooter Poker Run this year???

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

The best vacation I've ever had was last years Worlds :drink: A lot more to it than the races, but having never been to a race it was absolutely incredible :evilb: Still trying to make things work for this year. Stayed far off from Duvall, but just rented scooters and was there in a matter of minutes. BTW, Teasers is great, but they just like your $ ALOT :eek: :p

OSO STEVE--- Remember flipping the fork lift when trying to pull it out of the rutt it was in :rolleyes: :drink: :D

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Yep, Team Extreme F1-07 is booked at the Sunrise Suites from the 13th. til the 21st.. Can't wait. Dave

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

Can't wait!! We'll be at the Hilton from the 16th to the 21st.

Re: Too Early to Start Talking About Key West??
 

I Didnt know they were all staying at your place!!! :eek: :eek:

Just Joking :D

When I was down there a few weeks back, I saw your Work Van parked in a driveway, I was going to stop in and say Hi, but I figured you might be Busy..........Working or something :drink:

If anyone needs a place to stay Friday and/or Saturday Night, I may have an extra room, or room at my condo, Bad thing is, it is on the North end of the Island, good thing is..........

Its Cheap, and NICE!!! :D :D
