Yes, Everyone that enters gets a T-shirt and Poker Hand, Lunch,Diner/Party.........and if there are female a chance to earn BEADS!!!!!!!

Just got an email from our "KING" Steve we have entered 85 boats and 200 people with believe it or not Fountain leading followed by Cig. and then the Best ACTIVE THUNDER!!!!! I may be a little partial......:p

My man...how are you? Been runnin' the Sunny - 8 hours on her already! I need 10 by SML and 20 by Richmond so I can get into the throttle...looks like another good weekend coming our way!

How many of each ?

I'm in there somewhere since February. What's the latest on Jordan Point Friday night? Worst case I'm gonna have to stay half way up the river at a friends, or blow up in a group Saturday morning...TBD Maybe not a bad choice, but I'm keepin' my options open....:D

DON'T BE SCARED OF THE THROTTLES BY SUN.DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT.

I will go down and talk too Mike this weekend and get a feel for what they have open at Jordan Point and will report back.
I do need to know if everyone is ok with rafting up too get more boats in. This will open up more spots.

Steve or James, Are we doing the tab top deal this year. I don't know that I can beat James, but I have a bunch, again. :drink: :drink:

Yep, I got it. We don't run to the bank every week, so we batch checks...

13 Fountain
12 Cigs
11 ATs
8 Sonic
6 Velocity
6 Wellcraft
6 Formula
5 Sunsation

I'm not saving them, but the Shriners would appreciate anything we come up with.

BTW - I saw your picture in PRA magazine 'representing' the RPBA! Thanks for going.

Not bad AT brotheren.....considering all the others are mass produced:eek: :D :evilb:

Are you sure about that????????

And we will have the owner (Pat) and his crew from AT here all weekend so everyone can ask all the questions they want. And I am sure they will be taking orders. Need more for next year!!!!!!:D

Is cousin Jay and Uncle Frank coming too.:D

I'm pretty sure........:D

Thanks for the count, what....no Donzi's...must be a boycott.:D

Spoke with Uncle Frank when I was there last week. He should be there. I'm sure shorty shorts will be there too. :D :eek:

It was at last years Run when i went on "Monsoon" and then met with Pat that i decided to order mine. :D

Glad I made the list this year :)

Oh, I didn't realize Steve was keeping score for the "sausage fest" category!! :eek: :evilb:

Don't worry Cashedout will win.:evilb:
How many FWB are there ?

6 "FWB"'s....only 4 Sunny's and one "Sausage Fest" so far. :D

You guys worry me sometimes!!!:eek:

I hear the Virginia AT Factory Rep. will be there too. :D

I think someone should call Homeland Security. This is definately a thread hyjacking. LOL! :eek: :evilb: :drink:

Cool cause Mary Sue is hot.:evilb: I would buy from her.:D

yes, there are 3 Donzis...

Hey, what's the deal with Jordan point? Do we have slips? I called them back in Feb, spoke to them in March and I'm not completely sure I'm covered. What's the skinny?

I just called JP. She will not be able to tell us how many slips or spots will be available until the Monday before the run. She has 30+ people on a waiting list I'm 21st and I called Feb. 15th.!!!! She said they are still working on their docks and time will tell.

Hey Jim,

You might be able to get Rich's slip if he don't get that motor to La. anytime soon.:D

This is copied from a post I made on page 15......

"Jordan Point is not like Hampton area marinas that have a number of transients come in...they get virtually none. Therefore their goal is to rent every slip they have to long term renters. For the Poker Run they make available every slip (and open bulkheads) they possibly can that weekend. Unfortunately they don't know how many will be open or how many regulars will leave their slips for that weekend until we get close to the date. There are several other marinas in the area and I have wondered if it would be worthwhile to try and get a group together at one of those marinas too."

I feel they do what they can considering the circumstances. If everyone visited them a couple times a year then they would be prepared for a large group of transients.

NOMOGOFAST... LMAO! That's funny. You're gonna have to find an open fisherman website to be a post whore on!

And there is NO WAY I'm going anywhere near that slip of his... bad carma! I figure with one motor he can always go in big circles and throw out beads!

Any status on the motors??

Russ, completely understand and totally sympathize...I really do, and I support JP. I know they've had a ruff couple of years...however thinking business like, your James run isn't 30 boats anymore. You have what could be 100 boats+ and Friday night accommodations is a must for an event like this. I just think your group might want to have a plan "B" in the event JP can't support all of us. If I find out Monday that I need to get a hotel room or another slip Thursday & Friday...what's the chances I'll find one & who's going to be paying for it? Too many people in this situation could damage the great reputation that the James Run has earned. Correct me if I'm wrong? Sorry, just thinking business like... I sometimes do that. Nothing wrong with a back up plan when you have so much to protect.

still piecing their way together...I'm looking for a couple KPM seawater pump housings & impellers that are on backorder every where we look. Other than that...Dyno time should be early next week. Began rigging the boat too. Trying to figure out which Drive rich screwed up so I can replace the clutch. Everybody seems to know it had a problem but nobody knows which drive, so I'll probably end up paying to tear down both of them...you don't know do you?

Were moving some lines & hoses around to make better sense as well as plumbing in the external pick-ups. Still shooting for early to mid may, but I'm not holding my breath.

We have gone over and over trying to make other arrangements, the bad thing is the upper James River has limited marinas and very little transent slips. All the marina's do fill up with yearly contracts. Jordan Point will do the best they can too fit as many boats as possible. I have suggested that if you can tell her that you do not mind rafting up this could bring in more boats. As far as a back up plan???? We have exhausted all ideas. Hopefully people will see what kind of event we put on Saturday and will be happy. Our group does not make a penny on this event, all profits are donated to the Shriners Hospital. This event has grown over the past years that none of us would have expected, so lets make the best of it and enjoy a great day of boating and friends.

Well at the price you sold the drives off of me you shouldn't be complaining.:evilb:

Stole...not sold...you post whore!
Chit...they worked when I bought them! And for the record you set the a$king price.
You interested in buying them back?:D

I didn't know you had a problem w/ the cone clutch. When did that happen??
