Thunder on the Bay, whos going...
 

I was thinking about attending Thunder on the Bay June 6-7. Who is all going? Sounds like a pretty good time.:cool-smiley-026:
This would be my first poker run, any advice?

Might be fun. It would be my first as well. I put it on my calendar.

Here is the web site for the uninformed:angry-smiley-038:

www.thunderonthebay.com

Any info or website for that? Who puts it on?

Advice? Full tank of fuel, you'll burn alot, no matter what kind of boat you have. It has something to do with ego and severe uncontrollable muscle spasms that tend to push the throttles forward :)

Plan on alot of fun!

Sorry, your post beat me to my question....

I am going to do it...anyone else?

We will be there-
Jeff Jennings puts on a super nice run-great food & great fun

You should get Eric to run his Tiger in it. :D

I might be able to make it, it's the week after the OC races...:D

Might give the old Formula a try for this one. Anyone run around 45-50 mph I can follow?

The video that they have on the website shows a cruiser in it. You might want to call and see what speeds the three waves are set up for.

Not knowing your particular poker run, pretty much you can run any speed you wish. They should have the stops scheduled so that anyone can make it in the alloted window if you cruise 30-40mph. Check your entry form, but the only real restriction you normally see is a minimum size, especially if there will be rough water. I think the Jammin on the James PR has like a 23 or 24' minimum length.

VelocityRick-I see Eric this weekend and try to get him going-
The boat races are the weekend before so no problems there-
Are you going to both ?

Jeff,Karen, and crew put on a great event. Best food you will ever have at a poker run. Ran Rock the Bay last fall and had a ball!!! The only thing I noticed is it starts on a Fri. and goes to Sat. Not sure if I can get off to run it. Advice, Jeff is a strict believer in PFD's make sure you have one for all on board. Also Water on the Water and Beer on the pier. No drinking and that goes for passengers also during the run. If you get the chance make it for sure.:D:D:D

So Rob if my boat is not ready.................??????:D

thunder run
 

I live over here in edgemere,by the key bridge. Can you just run over to red eyes with them.I really don't want to do the sleep over in north east .I wonder if you can register,without the motel stay added on.Any body from down here on the patapsco ever made that run. Thanks JOHN

I'm sure you can head to northeast first thing on sat morning for the run.

These rules are great and should be concidered at all Poker Runs.

Unfortunately we will be in Jacksonville for another poker run that weekend, but we will be in Ocean City for the OPA races the weekend before!

Sounds good-
How's your boat doing ?

I won't be going to the races. There's a PR in NY that weekend. I usually hit NY 5 or 6 time in the summer. Say hello to Eric & Rhonda for me. See you this summer.

Good, weather as u know this week is holding me back. HArd to get that shop heated when it's sooooooo cold out. Stop by this weekend I will be there all day Sat Sun and Monday.

600 is a little steep for me , thats a months worth of fuel in my boat , I'd love to ride along with someone if theres space anywhere

We all ready have a plate full for the weekend before (OC Races) and the following weekend (another poker run). Want to maybe catch the one at the end of the season with Beak Boater.

you guys doin the Coles Point run this year?
that one is a little more in my price range
and closer to home :cool-smiley-026:

I just got the paperwork in the mail the other day, $600.00 is entirely too rich for me. Between that and $400+ in fuel.......( I know, my boat is small)

We will be their:cool-smiley-027:

Well I signed up...its only money:cool-smiley-011: Besides just get a few extra guys to ride with ya and split the cost. My old man is flying in from Utah to ride. My mother in law as well from Utah is riding and a bud form work.

We are there too:p

The pictures are from the speedwake runs. The Thunder on the Bay Run is from Red Eyes to Nauti Goose and stops in between and then back to Red Eyes and was run in 2000-2003 until Ed Mossmiller was killed in an accident (not during the run) and they stopped doing the run. It WAS a great run when it was handled and run by the crew at Red Eyes and Nauti Goose. It also gave to a charity.

Oh yeah, I seem to remember a night at the original Thunder on the Bay :D:D:D Who could that be, and what were they doing :D:D

.......Good one Ted

What web site is this on

There is alot of info on www.speedwake.com

Check it out.

We want to try to go, we did Rock the Bay

might be going
 

i might be going depending on how well the boat is running the boat went under some major renevations this winter and im going to be getting alot of it back together in the next couple weeks well see

I have to re-arrange my sock drawer that weekend.:cool-smiley-011::cool-smiley-011::evilb::D

If $600 is to steep Tomes Landing in Port Deposit puts on a nice one called Northern Chesapeake Bay Poker Run. Its only $375. They have a crab feast after the run. The guy that runs it is Jack Conrad.

we just sent ours in, we are taken our 2 Cigarette s there

Ahhh that was a good weekend and had a ton of fun. Ted was the little fountain incident?

I second Beak Boater's comment. We were at RTB last year and it was a ton of fun! I just talked to Jeff and as of right now it looks like there are about 70 boats or so. Should be a great time. We are heading out to MD for the run also. We'll be on the Absoloot boat with Levy. I encourage anyone who can attend, to attend. Here is a link to picture of the RTB poker run that they put on in Sept.
