Pickwick OSS and poker run
 

Hard to believe it, but we are just 10 weeks away from our annual Spring Fling at Pickwick:D :eek: :drink: :cool: ........
So who's in? I'm in :drink: .........Freddie T's watch out!
Steve

I'm in...Grand Harbor Marina

I'm in. I need to get a hotel room still.

Chris,
I'm doing the cabin thing again this year. Liked it much better than a hotel. Pickwick Cabin Rentals if you are interested, 731-689-2221. You'll probably talk with Linda. Tell her I sent you.
How about an AM Thursday (5-3) brunch and convoy to the lake??
Bloody Mary's anyone:drink: ????????
Steve

Why do they call it the Pickwick Challenge......anyone...anyone










because it is a challenge to get your boat ready in time.:(

Rest Easy Boys! The dock nazi has retired and will not be harrasing you to work.
Enjoy!

Got a hotel room this moring at the Hampton Inn that I stayed at last year. They have a great breakfest in the morning and some of the race teams stay there. Steve, is it Grand Harbor Marine were we kept the boats in the water? I need to get a slip.

Yes,
Got you covered brother per our conversation. We can't have you docking with the blow boaters again:eek: .........hey, they say we even have a patio:drink: .

I just got a note from Tanya Irwin at Pickwick challenge. Although I have retired I would be remiss if I didn't pass her number along to y'all and anyone wishing to work the race.

She can be reached at Pier 57, 731-689-4000. Ext 19.

I have not given ANYONE any numbers or names so its up to you if you want to contact her.

Have a great time at the event either way and be safe.

See Yall Soon,

Wow,
What a great weekend. I think:rolleyes: a good time was had by everybody. Whether it was the bad weather forecast (fortunately wrong), or the economy/gas prices, the spectator and race boat count was down. But the enthusiasm of us die hards made up for it:drink: . The Poker Run participant count was up somewhat from last year. Congratulations Neil and Cindy for being the "1st" boat to the 1st card stop. Love those headsets! That's gonna cost me:rolleyes: ............
A couple of quick observations. The sport is quickly becoming fragmented again among too many organizations (Miccosukie/the ONLY SV looked good, but had to race with the outboard cats, come on), and the MTI dominance of the cat classes is over. A Doug Wright won outboard, a Skater won SCL, and another Skater won SC. The Bud Select MTI SCX was beautiful and blazingly fast as usual, but also broke shortly into the race. They were the class of the fleet while running and in the pits, and very generous with some new Bud Select bling!
Thanks to Frankie and David Woods for your hospitality at Pier 57 and Freddie T's:drink: . Thanks Vence, Tracy and Butch for your help with the cabin and the boat, AND thank you Chris, for finding reverse:eek:.
Pictures to follow.
Regards,
Steve

I only have three pics, sorry I had my hands full:drink: most of the weekend. Lots were taken SO, POST 'EM if you got 'em.
Lots of good pics on the OSO Forum/various Pickwick Race threads.
Steve

Glad ya'll made it back in one piece. Can't wait to hear the stories. Let's have a beer on it next weekend.
