You back runnning again?

21mph winds from the South West, Nick if you run the Active at a slight diagnal you could pick up some mph with the tail wind. No need to shave your head :lolhit:

Was as of Sunday, we'll see what happens Sat.

Oh YEAH, Im ganna bank it off the shore. I wont need to shave.. I might where a helmet.

Any one heard from those Pro-Charged Baja guys that ran last minute, last year. One had a crazy paint job.

The true V will soak up the ruff while all you ladies deal with your pads:evilb:

I saw a boat that fit that description at Fairview last Sun. He said he planned on attending.

Ok ill come win the single v outboard class

blues and greens if I remember right? He put up 78 last year but said he could do 82

Talked to Hurley at GooseBay yesterday. He said the tide has been high all week because of the sw winds. The water was completely over the pier at the boat ramp. It was higher than the seawall and water was past the gas pumps back to the first row of trailers. Hope this doesnt put alot of trash in the river. Keep your eyes open if you are driving down to Fairview in the morning.:eek::eek:

Richmonders can come 95 to exit 104 Ft AP Hill/ 301 North
go like 35 miles to RTE 3 west (left)
go about 5 miles turn Rt on 609 a couple of miles to 218
this may be better then going into Fredericksburg then down 218 for 15 miles.

Thanks for the news. Sounds like putting in at Smallwood would better for me.

What's the word? Still going to happen with 15 to 25mph winds?

I was out this morning and there was alot of little stuff floating in front of aqualand. And tide was way up yesterday.

Sunday looks better for now at least

His name is Mit. Good guy, friend of mine. He is planning on coming

Weather forecast is not good for Saturday, maybe calm early but by 10:00 winds will be strong. Sunday is looking much better up until 1:00 then wids pickup again.

Just got off the phone with Mike 540-295-1504. Mike does not have a way to get in touch with each person so he said give him a call to get the latest update. Mike says it needs to be calm enough for everyone to run. Mike said he can run the event on Sunday if Saturday is a blow out.

My .02cents says wait until Sunday and get it done early

Don't let a little bit of wind scare you.

He needs to make a decision soon.
I dont want to waste a saturday.

Do it Sunday so everyone can participate.

Radar run
 

Radar run still on as of now going to check winds in morning. If not safe going to try on Sunday . Call 540-295-1504 or 540-775-7500.

Radar run still on as of now, will check winds in the morning. May have to run on Sunday. Call 540-2951504 or 540-775-7500

Check http://www.flatwateronly.com for updates! :evilb:

Saturday

Let's make a call here

Can someone please tell me what time this radar run starts?

Weatherchannel.com is calling for 22mph winds do we really think the forcast will be off by enough to run? Not trying to sound like a dic but people are trying to make plans.

Here is the forecast,


SAT
W WINDS 10 TO 15 KT WITH GUSTS TO 25 KT. WAVES 2 FT.

SAT NIGHT
SW WINDS 5 TO 10 KT. GUSTS UP TO 20 KT EARLY IN THE
EVENING. WAVES 1 FT.

West winds isn't going to be bad there, But I would like to know if this is going to happen or not.

25 kt winds will make it tough to put up big numbers.

starts at 10 register is usually around 9

starts at 10 ends at noon registration around 9

Well, in the spirit of "Run what you brung" that's the way it goes. The conditions will be a factor for all particiapants. If speeds are down, so be it.

I think trying shuttle people from boats to the dock in high winds / waves is the biggest problem.

For the bennifit of the guys coming from outta town blow this off until better weather forecast..........Sunday 10:00 is looking good........Tims II is happy to have customers any time , but flat water will make for a great show on Sunday

Alright saturday it is

today (Saturday) or Tomorrown need to know now

I'm hookin my stuff up now ... Geez... We all have "offshore" boats and some one footers send people packin. See ya all out there.

Radar Run Is Still On
 

AS OF 6AM THIS MORNING, THE RADAR RUN IS STILL ON. I just got off the phone with one of the official organizers, (Mike S.) and the river is glass at TIMMS II. A final decision will be made at start time, but as of now it is still a go

Jeff:evilb:

The wind just picked up at Colonial Beach a few miles down river. Wind is blowing from WSW with so that will favor Fairview I think. That would make it rough down by Gilligan's. The water just has some ripples at this point.

So far I would say it's breezy at times but still light winds. I live in king george about 10 miles as the crow flies from the river

It will get really rough in the early afternoon when the tide switches around for those traveling up river to come to this.

I think I am just driving, no boat passengers to help w the wind. It will get rough today.

Fun time today
