I am currently moving to colonial heights, I'm going to try to make it if my weekend is free. What are the three classes and how much is it to enter?

Sweet! The only boat I will have up there at the time will probably be my center console (52.9mph on GPS) . So I don't know if I will be a spectator or will run but I'm definitely going to try to make it. Sounds fun and would like to meet some of the locals since I will be boating up there now.

For hotel purposes, how far are you from Fredericksburg? If too far, can you recommend close hotels?
Thanks

Bring it! By now, we may have a center console class and you could win some $$$ !

I live 10 miles north of fredericksburg in Stafford.

There are 3 hotels near my work here that I actually have to go do a job near here in a minute, ill go check them out and see if they would be easily accessible with your truck and trailer. I know you could get there without a problem, im just thinking about the parking lot situation.

I'll check them out here in a bit and post back what I think would/wouldnt work.

One im thinking about is Hampton Inn & Suites and the address is
1080 Hospitality Ln, Fredericksburg, VA 22401 if you wanna check it out on google maps.

Theres one near me in Stafford but the parking lot is a joke.

Anyway, I'll post back what I find for you.

Looks like the Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton Inn and Suites each have a section of the parking lot large enough to park your rig.

Hilton : 1060 Hospitality Ln, Fredericksburg, VA 22401

Hampton : 1040 Hospitality Ln, Fredericksburg, VA 22401

I dont have a spare room, but you could store the boat here and use a hotel here in stafford. Theres ramp literally 1/4 mi up the road from the house where I'll be putting in and you can too ( Hope Springs)

Theres a TownePlace Suites on rt 1 about 15 min away
2772 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Stafford, VA 22554

or theres a Red Rood Inn, Comfort Inn, Quality Inn on 610 which is roughly 15-20 min away.

Let me know if you need anymore help

Well damn, I'm not coming then. I thought we'd be good with Yankey's 250 Yamaha, as long as Forenski didn't show up.
