Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Yow ! :evilb:

Too bad I dont drink... :(


:p

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Yeah right. :rolleyes: And I don't drive fast. :eek:

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

I was planning on trying to make it since its one of my hometown events, but I don't get back from London until late Friday night. That doesn't leave me a whole lot of time to get to grand haven, put it on a trailer, borrow a tow rig, and get it back down to Indiana.

Sounds like you guys are going to have a lot of great hardware down there.

Have a great time and burn some fuel for me!

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

I will be there!!!

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Only a handfull of spots left. If you don't get registered before saturday, there's a good chance you'll "miss the boat" :eek: Hope to see you all on friday.

Mark,

If you guys need admin help at the marina (staffing a booth, etc.), let me know. I could come by on Saturday for a while.

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Jeff, thanks for the offer, but I believe that by saturday morning we'll have it all under controll. :D We are heading out about 9:30-9:45, right after the 9:00 drivers meeting.

Mark and I are bringing our boats down there today. We were asked by some of the local television networks if they could do an interview with a few of us. They want us to talk about our club, and view a few of the poker runner boats. So, we thought that we'd bring a V-bottom, and a Cat. :cool:

They will be airing the interview all week long on all the local networks. It sounded like they will be here on saturday too, to film all the boats in the event.
Who knows, they may even want to jump on a boat ot two, and do some filming from the run. They are really helping us alot, to publicize our event.

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Well i went out during lunch today and bought 2 new CDR's for my digital camera....and one extra battery so i should be good for atleast 3000 pictures! :eek: :eek: :D

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Neither theTrump casino hotel nor the Majestic star have any rooms available for the weekend. Seems that there is some sort of boating event taking place and the participants have all the rooms booked :D .

Here are a couple of alternatives about five minutes away

Courtyard (219) 845-6350
Fairfield (219) 845-6950
Residence Inn (219) 844-8440

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Dam boaters.... :drink:

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Yep! By the looks of things this is turning out to be quite an event!

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

We will be there, but our manner of conveyance is still in question. Still waiting on an upper....one drive hung, one to go! Otherwise, I may just wear a red bathing suit and swim it.

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Keep your fingers crossed there is still a lot of time before the run. Good luck!

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

I hear there is a Wild Indian lurking along the shore. :eek:
The old Cig is sitting this one out. :cool: One of it's blood brothers is stepping up. :D

Mark :drink:

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Skeered?? That little pond?? :D The Tire Business is really "poping" this time of year,, I'm scared of all the sales I would miss!! I saw your pic in the new PRA magazine,, it looked like you "got a little sun" while you were there!!

Mitch

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Yep, I think you are skeerd. :evilb: :evilb:
Someone else can run the store. I am sure they'll walk off with, I mean seel those tires for you. :drink:
Hope you can make it.

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

If I get a crazy hair up my ass to drive from VA to Chicago on Friday; can I still get in?

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

I will get you in.

We sold out 2 casino hotels.

An unbelievable turnout for the who's who in boating.

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Have fun you guys, Ian and I will miss you :(

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

It won't be the same without you Ian and Kirby either Donna. You will be in our thoughts even though you can't be with us this year. Maybe next year things will work out.

Roger

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Come on out Brian. We want to see that AT fly. :evilb: :cool:

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Sydwayz, get up here. What else you gonna do? :evilb:

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

I might do it. I am currently flying from Boston back to VA via NYC. I will get my feet on the ground tonight and look at logistics. Will my Dad and StepMom enjoy the PR?

I have to be back in MD on Monday morning, so it better be a good event for me to pull 20+ hours of windshield time in 3 days!

Weather is looking good ! :evilb:

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Your parents will enjoy. The lake can get rough but the weather looks good, should be ok. You don't have to run wide open, remember it's not a race :evilb:

Would be nice to meet you.

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

yeah, got a little sun. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO are you in or not don't let the litte 2-4 ft waves scare you.......BZ

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Boat left tonight and we are flying into Chicago tomorrow

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

My boat is there now. Many teams will be arriving tomorrow. I will be there to get them set.

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

:D :D Honestly, it's not looking very promising. I'm all for Three day Week-ends, seems like work gets in the way of all the "Fun Stuff". How's the new "CAT" running?

Mitch

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

2 to 4's ,, thats perfect for my "back of the pack" Boat!! :D :D

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

The Cat ran great! She is parked till we need her again. :cool:

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

I`ll be on the road tonight , See you guys in the AM.


Mike

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Mark, did you get my e-mail about us not making it?

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

Things are looking good. I hope to see you all Friday night/Saturday morning.

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
 

We were looking forward to some high flying Apache shots too! KS

Re: CHICAGO POKER RUN, who's going?
