Anyone coming to St. Louis races
 

The St. Louis tunnel boat races are next weekend, any OSOers coming to the event

Just wandering

Randy Wild

I will probably be there at least on of the days, probably at the Grey Eagle Distributors bus.

Mpally...
 

You're not going to come to the Lake...
What is wrong with you>>>???
Party Cove vs. Tunnel boats = PARTY COVE!!!!!!!!

:p :cool:

Tbone, I know. I have a lot chit going on right now. I also entered into a golf tourney at the lake over the shootout weekend. It is a three day tourney too. It sucks, but my partner and i have a good chance of finishing well, so I am in. I will get to the shootout though, just a little late. We better be teeing off in the morning or I will be pissed. No only will it be hotter than hell, but I will also miss the shootout. Matt goes back to Minnesota next week so I have been hanging around the house a bit more on the weekends. I will be down on Thurs. of Labor Day though.

If my uncle goes to race I will prob. go and help him in the pits.

is this at Creve Coure lake?

Yeah...Creve Coeur Lake is the place. Any other OSO' ers going? I'm gonna flip by Saturday morning.

I'll be there -- as usual. :D

Hi Randy ~

I no longer race tunnels, but there's no way I'd miss St Louis -- it's the one race where all the past racers come to watch. Last year, there were UIM tunnel boat pilots from South Africa, South America, Singapore, Norway and more - who just came to watch. Even Jerry Gilbreath was walking around the pits.

I'm bringing a celebrity with me this year! Renato Molinari's cousin who is also the son of the late great Italian tunnel racer Cesare Scotti -- Massimo Scotti, who's coming all the way from Milan to meet his dad's former foes and to see this great race!

Great racing and great people. It's going to be a lot of fun!

Does anybody have the results from today? I did not go due to the weather. BTW, who was sitting on the ground yesterday in front of the Grey Eagle bus with a OSO t-shirt on? I was talking with someone when I noticed the shirt, but you where gone by the time I was finished talking.

That was me and my wife (the blond) and Scuba Steve and his wife (brunet).

I was going to back today, but when I got out of church it was raining hard.

Sorry I missed you.

I did have a chance to have lunch with Laurie Vidal on Fri. He is the chaplin from the MRO (Motor Racing Outreach).

he is a great guy.
