ready to do the damn thing!
 

Ok, so the boat is back from paint, I got the trim pumps for the tabs, I will make the backing plates for the dual steering tomorrow, and the heads should be back by Friday with the new Inconel valves. All I have left to do is make the wing plate for the back of the #3 drive and put all 9000 bolts back in this ***** and I will be ready to race..... No problem....
I am happy to reprt to every one at OPA that I have just finished filling out my registration forms and I am about to make a special trip to the mail box to drop them in.

I want to also invite everyone to stop by the Sleepy Pirate pits and shoot the ****. We will follow all the rules of pit personel and will see to it that will do our part to eliminate the "sausage fest" situation....

Thanks and cant wait for the warm water...

Lookin' good bro! Yet another MI racer...NJ you gettin' nervous yet or what?! :evilb:

Hell Ya' they are; some of them are already selling there boats (or Flyin Condo's) :eek:

Whats up Neil,
I met you at the Rock showplace... I was there with Mike. Did you ever end up down in Fla for the final race?
Dan

Ya I made it down but only as the resident partier! Had a blast in destin even without the boat. This year will be the shizz nizle in key west! :drink:

Who know's maybe I'll even wonder down there with a boat in tow for once! :rolleyes: :D

That means you better get down to the shop and get that phantom race ready and stay out of the bars a couple of the weekends hu....

Like that will happen.. :drink:

Come on guys its not that bad...I stayed in Friday night....like 3 months ago! :evilb:


Speaking of that who's going to Terry's Terrace tomorrow????:drink: :drink: :drink:

Dan, Ya going to Kart to Kart next saturday ?

Neil, Ya should get to the shop early sat. and get your place in line, It will be full of OPA boats. Ya should be pick'in up that 540 put'in it in the Phantom and gett'in her ready to race! lakes open for test'in.:eek: Get Bill and Stace to go to terry's with ya and stay over there place then you and Billy both make it in bye 4:00 to have a frosty:drink: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


Spark

Riiiiiiiigggghhhht! I think Doug will be runnin before Neil.

I hope to get the rear bulkhead and seat in very soon. Motor depends on the other boat deal...if it falls through then I'll be doing a bravo killer! Should know this weekend....as if you haven't heard that in the last two months!!!:D

You don't need a seat! a cooler with a cushion is more practical.

true, its the backseat anyways!!! :evilb:

I just re-read the OPA Rule book, You dont need a back seat to race...

True but OPA is only 7 weekends outta the summer...gotta make sure there's room for the weekend eyecandy!!! :drink:

I will be at Terry's tonight and I am not sure if I will be in town next weekend but my navigator is all ready to go and do a liuttle carting. Remember what I was telling you Spark, My navagator and I both raced SCCA for a few years. We may just bring some hurt to you boat guys on land....Then well take the ars kicking in the water in a few weeks...
Dan

Dan, I was at Terry's last night also, not sure who you were there with, I'm sure I'll meet you at Sparks if not I'll be at Kart to Kart next week.

Bill

I was sitting at the table with Neil most of the night... It was noce to finally put a face with all the names.
Dan

Neil, leave it to that rude bastage not to introduce you, I think I know who you are if that's the case.

Haha nice bill. Would have introduced but no one could peel you away from the bar long enough!

he was doing his best to introduce me to the little blonde girl...and by introduce I mean take her home and tell me about it later... unfortunatly the buzzer went off before the final play was completed and the ball did not enter the hoop!

So he just took his ball(s) and went home alone? :eek:

That is a hilarious way of putting it! It did almost go into overtime but I must be getting lazy in my old age...I didn't even have the patience for her to drop off her friends after the bar, I just went home. She did call me at 4:30am...:rolleyes:

So you decide on kart to kart yet? Looks like everyone and their brother are gonna make it.

Yep. All's good though...had second string lined up before going out! :evilb:

I was watching, she seemed like a real bright one:drink:

she was special we have to give her that.

anyone by chance have a ssm 3 steering wing plate they may want to sell? its looking like im gonna have to break out the welder and make something here soon....

PM sent.
