I would vote for southern chesapeake as I am selfish and that would be easiest for me.

I'm also gonna be busy this winter, as my initial assessment of my engine leads me to believe it is hydrolocked. Gonna do some troubleshooting tomorrow, but it doesn't look good.

I guess its an excuse to get rid of the 454 and drop something in with more juice. So much for a bigger boat.

It would be awesome seeing 12 or so Velocity's towing down I95 together. SML has my vote. :drink:

Re: Velocityfest 2007 (unofficial)
 

My personal opinion: We should break it up into three locations.

One year: North- cheasapeake

Next year: Mid atlantic- N.C.

Next year: Fla (somewhere by the factory)

Then start all over again.At the very least we should start NOW for next year with the hoops we had to jump through this year we need to get an jump on it for next year.

Rick what do think?????????

First, I'll try to do whatever past Velocity Fest attendees, the folks from North Carolina and interested new owners want to do.

I like the idea of changing locations from year to year to keep things fresh. I was planning on a different Velocity Fest location for 2007. Here's a couple of things to keep in mind. There's going to be a NC Poker Run EVERY year since that's a CPBA event open to all brand boats. Consequently that will be big Velocity event each year independent of Velocity Fest. Florida has a lot of popular Poker Runs that people already annually attend together. I don't think there's a demand for a separate Florida Velocity Fest.

I think it makes sense to offer a MD/DE/PA/NJ/NY regional Velocity event in addition to the annual CPBA event. People will have a "local" choice and if they want and they can also attend the CPBA Poker Run (or travel north to V-Fest). If people tell me they want to trail down to NC INSTEAD of doing something local in 2007, we can resume things in the MD/DE/PA/NJ/NY area in 2008.

But this is just my opinion, please keep making your 2007 Velocity Fest suggestions, we'll get a consensus and start planning as soon as the boating season ends for us northerners

If we were to have Velocity Fest in N.C. next year why not have it at the end of May or the 1st of Jun instead of August? That way we wont have the same thing happen as this year with both events on the same weekend.

Or maybe we could combine both events in N.C. next year there poker run/ our Velocity Fest. It would be nice to have a chance to win some of the money you put out BACK.

I for one would love to see a different venue. Something different. I've never been off the cheasapeke with my boat since i've owned it.

Keep the ideas coming lets make next year bigger and better than last year.
