Did we mention the fast boats?

whats the requirements for the safety and med boats?

Patrol boat requirements
 

This event is a bit easier than the usual. I need ALL kinds of boats, shallow draft, jet skis, cruisers and go fast.

This is a straight 1 mile course (3.75) total it will be alot less wear and tear. Markers will define the entry and go zones as well as the course end.
The usual radio and cell phone apply. There will also be a flag

We will need some coverage on Friday and Saturday.

Patrol Members do not have to be TOPPS members.

I am encouraging ALL boats to come and enjoy this event!

Call me if you have questions, 832-233-3095,

Safety Director, TOPPS 2008

MZEZ.

Is there a single engine boat category?

What are the speed brackets?

Thanks.

Great talking to you on the phone, Karen. I'll see you in May!

Yes and Yes:D

Seriously there will be more info forthcoming on brackets but the best thing about a premier event is that we get to make up the rules as we go!

Looking forward to seeing y'all there!!

Looking forward to coming.

Hope the old girl holds together until then and water is favorable for a good run.

What are you guys going to do if it is high wind. I know that area, and it is usually pretty rough when it is not windy????

Thats a cool boat Jeff. Did you have it out Sunday? It was ROUGH as you know. We were skipping across the tops of the 4-5 footers at 70!!

I spoke to one of the organizers and that barring some unsafe wind or wave conditions they are going to run it in any condition that is deemed safe. Everyone will have to adjust their speed and driving to match the conditions of the day.

Andy, were you out on Galveston Bay Sunday, or on Lake Conroe. We went out Saturday on the Bay and it was perfect. Stayed in on Sunday, very bad.

Could make for some interesting runs for the smaller guys. Not very often its calm in that area unless its early early in the morning.

Also, area not protected from ship waves. Boats will be trimmed to the max and running hard. Someone will have to be positioned to watch for incoming! Hopefully by May though, the fronts will be gone and wind will be from south. This will help a lot.

who is going to be a safety boat?

No Gerrit it was Conroe. Rough as I've ever seen it. But it was fun though. It was all I could do to get my wife to launch me up there as she had the flu and didn't want to go to Kemah. I heard ya'll had a nice run. P.S. Some new guy up there has a 50' Hustler called "Insanity".

Never saw a 5 footer, but I did fly off the top of the ocasional 4 footer.

They probably looked bigger since you were in your SKI boat the day before. :evilb:

You need to enter that bad boy race boat of yours in the Outlaw Challenge! Tune up that carburetor! Put some bigger jets in the secondaries!!

Permits for the Challenge are for 10-5 on Friday and 930 - 7 on Saturday. These times will change as the registration be3comes more of a known factor. Shift lenths will vary due to available crews and conditions.

How about just adding a BLOWER?

My reservations are in to get there thursday night and try and make the poker trun on friday. Check out sunday morning unless the weather sucks, or we pass out at the safe house in TIKI. :party-smiley-004:

Hey good for you Jeff! Get that motor running. Should be a great weekend. See you out Saturday.

The key is to get all the other ones running so I can have time and afford to get my new one togehter.

If not, I am borrowing your ski boat. :evilb:

Its only got a 350MAG!

Not when jeffro is done with it:D:D

2 stage progressive NOS kit. :evilb:

I am looking forward to the event. I informed the powers-at-be that we will be more than happy to volunteer our services for boat patrol on Fri and Sat.

I'll help out and be part of the patroll boat crew. I have extra fire ext. left over from the last Lake Charles trip.:hitfan:

I think a few of you have seen the video.:angry-smiley-038:
