Who's going to LOTO to watch the OSS Race?
 

OSS and POPRA will be racing in LOTO on 9/29.

If you want to watch the races from the air, Jamie Russell has two seats available in his Long Ranger helicopter for the LOTO race.

$1000 per seat covers both races.

If you are interested, call Jamie at 281 334 6553.

I'll be there:evilb:

No chopper rides for me though:boat:

I'll be there but how is this race set-up and where all do they run?

they will race from the 6 to the 9 mile markers....

We are booked. Cant wait!!! :cool:

Straight Jacket, Kool-Aid Man and myself are going.

Hey Sean, are you involved with this race?

RG, you're going?? Are you bringing a race team and boat? Wow, glad to have you join the fun.

Looks like the Horny Toad is the place to be day and night during this weekend.

Can't wait, this is my first trip to the famous LOTO!

We're going as well. Will there be a place for boats to raft up to watch the race?

Im bringin Dave and Dee ... or is Dee bringin me and Dave :D Either way, we're bringin a party :cool-smiley-011:

No word on the boat yet. We'll see what happens at Point Pleasant next weekend. :cool:

Just you is enough, LOTO will never be the same.:party-smiley-020:

im bringin a crew from Grand..

bring the camera!! :circle:

Loto OSS
 

I'll be here as always. If anyone needs indoor or outdoor storage let me know.

Mike

I'm gonna try to show up, maybe with carter31

I haven't figured out if the Horney Toad is the best place to watch the race ($60)? Any place outside the course to watch from boats?

im sure there will be a raft up like at the shootout. there is also a small island that would be a good vantage point as well although you would not want to beach a boat on it. have to anchor the boat and swim in.

Shady Gators!...

We will be there... shuttle in from the HyVee :cool-smiley-011:

I'll be there. Should be a great time!

We will definately be there...Shady Gators is a good stop and place to view that action...but we'll be watching from the water...There should be several places around the course where you should be able to anchor and tie up...

I'll be there. Conveniently, the North end of the course runs right at the entrance to the Gravois...short hop from my house.

I plan on watching from the water.

From talking to people at LOTO, sounds like they expect about 5000 boats to encircle the course as spectators.

How much of the race can be seen from the Toad? Or is there a better place to watch from land if I'm landlocked?

I can promise this will be one hell of an event. Testing and POPRA racing on Saturday (25K purse if anyone's interested in putting numbers on their boat for the P classes only). Then OSS racing on Sunday.

Hopefully Talk Offshore will be broadcasting live over a local radio station. Can't wait!!!

The Toad is at the 7 mile marker. If they are racing from the 6 to the 9, I would think the view from there wouldn't be bad at all. Should be a good turn out for spectators on the water.

We'll be down, it's my 5-year anniversary so I told the wife I would take her to the races :D

We'll be watching from the water.

Millstone lodge is on the opposite side of the lake from the Toad off of 5 HWY and state road "O" and might be an "ok" place to watch from land. It is being torn down and condos built right now though (construction site). Millstone marina is next to it and might also be a decent place to watch from. i don't know if its allowed to watch from either place though!

Booked my flights today!

I will be on my cousins 47' Outer Limits "Rocket Man".

Maybe RG3, Sean H. and I can get together and discuss NASCAR engines and stickers!

It was confirmed this weekend we got our room at the Aqua Fin . Best part is we don't even have to bring a boat can walk to it. Looks like about 12-16 of us from Chi-town , the bar is going to love us


Are you ready to be Influenced??

Sweet, Thats were we are staying too!! I heard it is crawling distance. Lets hope
Quinlan

It is just got back from there yesterday you will have NO problem, and I am one of the gang otw from Chi-Town.....BZ

by the way we are bringing a boat....BZ

Welcome all from distances a far. The Fin will be a great place to stay for a nice nostolgic ozark resort feel and great proximity. The Toad and Shady Gators will be The clubs to be at. You can walk from Fin. Everybody from other locations on land will be riding shuttles into that area. Dock space at those two clubs will be at an extreme premium, unless you've got the $300 a day/night they'll be getting and already have your reservation in. That area will have many wonderful vantage points to watch the races. If it's windy there'll be a healthy chop in that area of the lake and boat traffic will be heavy if they allow an idle lane near the course. I'm not officially involved, just trying to help.

Hot damn! Now Im excited!!! :drink:

Bless your heart, Dawn. Looking forward to meeting you in person!

Should be a great event for LOTO. Looking forward to it. About 20 of us locals, have rented a house boat that we will be anchored out somewhere along the course. Should be a blast.

We will be there. We're staying up the lake at the ledges, so we'll have a good drive by water. We are planning to watch by water for the most part assuming that will be allowed. We'll probably buy some tickets as well. Looking forward to a good time! It'll be good to see Straightjacket and Sommerfilesby again too. It's been too long Chi-Town bruthas!

Well I quess that makes the trip that much better, I know its not a Cig since we broke the new motor.

Yes it has I'll bring pics of the new hulls progress, Hopefully we'll have T-shirt for ya also.

Please do. I wanna see how that thing is progressing. T-Shirt will be a bonus! :D

We will be there!

We'll be there with "blowers on!"

should be several boats/crews from Beaver lake, Buck, wana ride?
