Rally at shootout
 

Ok I was thinking about some sort of a little rally at the Shootout this year, what does everyone think? We could get together on Friday night after the Poker run or even run together during the run. Saturday evening would also work well we just need to pick a location and decide a time, we have a month to decide. If anyone on here has a contact with the potential new owners, if there are any, let them know what we are trying and maybe they could also come and let us know there plans for the future and if possible maybe even bring an 07 model if one could be done by then. Just an idea let me know what you think. If you have any questions call me at 309-275-3436.

Rich, rich, rich....an 07' model????

I will be happy if the phone line is operational by October, no way will there be any production by then.

I am not convinced there is anything going on with the sale.

BTW, I think they canned the poker run, its purely a fun run last I saw. I thought it started and ended at the Toad.

Re: Rally at shootout
 

I will be down, but friday night is full for the stereo contest at Shooters 21 :evilb:

should be interesting to see how I do against the big boys, I hope my little 29 can hold her own against the crusiers and genset folks, but what the hell, a good excuse to drink beer and have a good time

I will be down Thursday night and pulling her home Monday AM

Hope to see some of you there

Re: Rally at shootout
 

We are planning a raft off in our cove Friday afternoon. You are welcome. :drink:

Re: Rally at shootout
 

That might just work I'll let you know. Thanks.

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Ok since we all hang around on here why not just meet a Dog Days on Friday night with the other OSO'ers make since to me. How does this sound?


Rich.

Re: Rally at shootout
 

I put my name in for that too. Good place to park the boat with a lot of other nice stuff. I have to check with the factory and see what the plan is. I am thinking we may do a run in the morning, get lunch, run back my way and raft awhile, then maybe go back over to Dog Days. At least that is what I plan to propose.

Re: Rally at shootout
 

I'm interested for sure...

Re: Rally at shootout
 

OK So is that it. Dog Days Friday night ?? :drink: :drink: :drink:

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Beth and I will be bringing the boat to the Shootout. Where is Dog Days?

Re: Rally at shootout
 

The old Salty Dog, right by the Grand Glaize bridge. 19MM

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Ok Dog Days is where we shall meet. :drink: I say around 5:30 or so if that sounds good. Hope to see all you OSOers there and meet some of the people we talk to on here. Dave glad to see your bringing the boat this year. If anyone has any other ideas just yell out on here.

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Christian,

You should do well. Good Luck!

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Everyone get to the Dog as soon as you can on Friday it is going to be full it sounds like.

Rich.

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Rich, can I still catch a ride on your boat for the races Saturday?

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Yes sir. :drink: What are your plans for Friday's run? Weve got room if you need.

14 hours tell we take off. :drink: :drink: :evilb:

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Thanks man, I appreciate it!! :drink: I'm leaving after work Thursday for LOTO and will be on the F-4 for Friday's run.

Re: Rally at shootout
 

We are now NOT pulling our boat down. The truck I was going to use is not available to me now. Man, I need a new truck!

We will still be there at the Shootout but on a friend's Formula.

Be safe and have fun all!

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Dave it was good to see you again, Hopefully will get to see that boat next year :D


Rich.

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Well we did not have much of a rally but I did get to meet some new people while at LOTO.

Jim and Mary where able to make it from Minnesota after a wild ride on the way down :D Glad to meet the both of you.

Also saw Dave and his lovely bride, even though the boat did not make it they were there having fun.

Meet some other PQ owner while down and told them about OSO so hopefully we will be talking to some new people soon as well.

I ran in the Shootout this year on Sunday since no one else in a PQ would :D First run was bad trying to get all I could I slowed down to 73 mph :eek: (plus I was nervous) , but after calming down I was able to run 78 my second time :rolleyes: not so bad on calm water I guess, even though the announcers called my boat a BAJA :mad: I don't get it I guess they could not read Powerquest across the fairing.

Over all it was a great weekend and hope to see you soon or at least at next years Shootout.

Rich.

Re: Rally at shootout
 

It was great to see all the PQs this year at the SHootout. I saw 5 at Shooters Friday night but I do not knwo if any of the other ones were in the Stereo Competiton.

I did my damndest, but still only managed 3rd place but was at 140.4 db so I feel pretty good.

Saw some nice nice PQs and it was great seeing a bunch in one place.

Now when is the shootout next year :evilb:

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Rich, You da'Man. Nice run. We were all cheering for you. :D

The other 1/2 owner of my boat (wife) has agreed we can run next year. I know it is no indication of anything but the guy who won my class last year ran 71 mph. I am consistently running 77-78 in heavy water.

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Rich, nice to meet you at Shooters on Friday. You have a great looking boat. Even Mary commented how clean it was.
Glad to hear you took a shot at running. What class were you in and what speed won the class ?. :D :D


Was really nice to see so many PQ's down there as we seldom see any up here.

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Jim great looking PQ. Hopefully your trip home went better.

I ran with a 1999 38 Slingshot that ran 83 mph and won the class, he has won the class since 1999, Nice guy named Charlie boat is named Nauti Girl.

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Rich,
The official speed from the Shootout has you running 77mph. We are all proud of you on Dock 3 for representing PQ and Clinton Lake at the LOTO Shootout.
Good job,
Rob

Re: Rally at shootout
 

Did you have to have your own helmet and vest or do they provide them?.

Re: Rally at shootout
