OK, who is coming and what class???

I am running P3 and maybe F2

we will be there wild ride SVL #5

Throttle Up will be there to provide propeller support.

I will bring test props of the NEW Hydromotive designs!

Julie

thats great Julie, as we don't have any props yet we may have to take you up on the test props! seriously we would love to try a hydro motive I like them and have used them succesfully on other boats
Larry

I'll be there

The Dirty Duck will be there

Loved you guys until you gave my 2 year old the ducky noisemaker in Savannah;) :D

Scott, I second that one... they are noisy... Chrissy

We will be there, leasing out the batboats as well as the MTI Super Cat Light - call for details or a demo ride.

Chris Reindl (513) 706-3199

SCL Boat...

It is available for Sale or Lease. Lease, buy, or take a Demo Ride in the Bats.

Chris, you are a busy guy!!!! When are you going to be back in the office?

Mark,

I will lease only one seat most likely, to keep the boat safe by keeping me in it.

Bill,

I am in the office now, and will be in Monday at 8 am. I am always available on the cell as well.

Chris

Vixen Racing will be there,P4.

Hope to see you there Mel - hope all is well.

run F2...forget that P class stuff:D cya down there

Audacity - Just curious but why would you say that? The P classes put on one heck of a show in Orange Beach and it allows more boats to compete with less restrictions on engines, drives, etc. Again, just curious.

i'm not saying 1 is better than the other...just said it kidd'n...would just like to race against more f2 boats...that's all bro...nothing more, nothing less.

Hy Chris,the boats as ready as i can make it.Once i get it there its up to Ken an Dave to race it.They got some time in it but being new to them we dont want any surpises if we can help it. See you all there. Mel

:confused:

Which race are you referring to Lee Mills race or SBI's race.

ya'll have fun be safe.

Booked the flight for the 12th, my wife and I will be there. Always wanted to do this for a long time. Where's everyone staying?

Sombrero www.sombreroresort.com
Coconut Cay www.coconutcay.com
Blue Water Motel www.thefloridakeys.com/bluewaters

Sombraro seems to be the hot spot.

Or stay at Hawks Cay a few miles to the north. www.hawkscay.com

Staying here

cheap, and supposedly clean, We'll try it for one night.

Nichols Offfshore
 

Nichols Offshore plans to be there

Gary's just a racing machine. I think we need to make him an honorary Jersey Boy.

Hey, are you making the same offer as last year?? Half of the entry?? I need a set of F2 legal lowers though, I have cones on mine.

I have been boating for 30 years. 1st Cig bought in '94 and I have never been to an official APBA race. This sounds like a ton of fun and can hardly wait. Does anyone have room in a spectator boat for a passenger?
OR better yet give me the ride of a lifetime? Stan.

Stan, the best viewing is from land at the base of the 7 mile bridge.

Thanks Scott. Would it be best to get there early for a good spot, if so what time. I was making plans to be in Marathon on Friday-Sunday BUT the wife is giving me 2 days. Unless she stays with her family for a day or two.
She's really not into this and need to do some quick thinking of excuses.

Scott,you coming down? If you are look us up at the dry pits,will be in about noon fri. Mel

It is a very large area and other than parking a little further away, getting there early doesn't make that much of a difference.
Mel, I wish I was, but the boat isn't ready yet

Gary and Billy are fired up and making plans to correct whatever it was that went wrong. I agree this race was one of the best I have ever seen them drive/throttle.

Mark, I thought of that too but she's bored with Key West. If I told her that I was invited on a spectator boat or a ride of life time she would totally understand... I think.:rolleyes:

We'll take her for a hell ride in the Gladiator!!! Does that help?

It helps her to run away and sure gives me an excuse to stay the extra day! She does'nt really care for the cig but rather have a Post with air conditioning. If this is an offer you sure can count me in. Stan.

Mark,
Never. especially when it's that time of the year to pay for the slip and insurance!

I never could understand how a set of new drapes could be more important than more horsepower....:confused:

ScottB,I got 2 eng. setting n the floor here,both are fresh rebuilt.You bring that down here next thur.8am and dave an i will have you in the water by noon.Ones a 468 and the other is a510.you run Marathon with apba and even Marathon with sbi and after the sbi race swing back and we will take it back out.Hows that for a deal to get back racing,no cost just run apba marathon.

Mel, That is an awesome offer, but my motor is not holding me up, thats done. I have a brand new interior, hydraulic steering, gauges, graphics, etc all in various stages of completion. Its basically going to be a new boat when I am done thanks to my generous sponsor Kean University. Until its done and perfect I will be on the sideline. I actually just got off the phone with Keans graphic desighner and he is going to send me some rough drawings for the boat graphics, T-shirts, and uniforms they are providing as well. I have to race 5 races including NYC for them so I am in no rush because I want to do it up right. I would ultimately like to do 2 APBA and 2 SBI races so I can qualify for the Worlds in both Sanctioning bodies. I would also like to do an OPA race as well. I will see you guys soon and once again thanks for the offer, your a true gentleman and great competitor.
Your friend Scott
PS Say hi to your lovely wife, daughter, and grandkids for me. Oh yeh Dave and Ken too

ScottB,Knew you blew your engine in St Cloud last year and thought if that was holding you up thess engines were just sitting here anyway and it would do them good to be raced once.There not for sale there just a couple of my toys.I have more fun building these things and seeing how much they can take then anything.
