I've been a patrol boat the last 3 years, last year we used the cheetah deckboat as "the" rescue boat. I'm not sure I'll be here this year, going back up to Idaho............if you'd be up for filling in for me, give Ross Wallach ( promoter/event director) a call, 310 318-4012,............they'll give you a free event T shirt, supply you with radio's etc. I always asked to be in the turn down at Badenochs :thumbsup

 

[BadBlown572]

Looks like I will be up there!

 

[River Lynchmob]

I'll be there skiing, spectating and drinking a few.

 

[RiverDave]

I'll be there spectating for a bit. I'll have the whole family and friends with me, and they don't ever get to goto the river so odds are I'll be down at the 300 in the morning sometime, but not much after that. And as usual "morning" is a term I use loosely.

[RiverDave]

You say that right up until you see a 60 gallon cooler full of Coors Light. oint

Who's got a 60 gallon cooler of CL's?

RD

 

[RyanPartridge]

I'll be there.

 

[boatnam2]

We will be there, drinking some, riding some and probaly watching some of the race.

 

[boatnam2]

Opps wrong weekend, i will be there this weekend.

 

[Wheeler]

I will try to make it, if so I will there in the morning then I am going to try skiing in the afternoon, a friend is bringing a fat ski and a fatter vest for me to use!

 

[mrs. bordsmnj]

Opps wrong weekend, i will be there this weekend.

Dang it! Wait a week!

 

[boatnam2]

Dang it! Wait a week!

I wish i could, last weekend for the old lavey and she goes bye bye.

 

[CampbellCarl]

I'll be there in Gary Hairebedian's pit. #17 All red Schiada V-drive baby!

I think this is the year he's gonna take it down. From what I understand he just went through the motor right?

ah , the Armenian Navy. good luck to your crew. Gary H. deserves a win. but i've heard some rumours about this and that and he will not be alone in the serious contenders department. should be a helava show.

If WarPath shows up with fresh motors I got my money on Avilla.

Avillla and the Warpath were out @ the open. Ran a few of the circle classes, but wasn't leaning on it too hard. Not sure how fresh the motors are, but it should be a serious threat.

The Nordic crew is out on Warantied Merc power, and is fast. 191 (or 193, i can remember) is runnning a 1200 #6 combo.

Then there are the Wackers that seem to run forever and damn fast on lil motors. They are always the black sheep in the enduro.

That's because they always win.. LOL

[whiteworks]

If I had any balls I'd run my boat. doubt it would win but I guarantee it would finish. You think they would get pissed if I stopped for lunch at Badnoches during the race?

Actually no... Two 10 - 15 minute pit stops (mandatory?) so if you had it filled while you were getting a burger, it could work out.

I thought the boat has to go on the trailer for the pit stops?

 

[djunkie]

I had a crazy idea to run my Howard. Wouldn't be the fastest but I know it would be the smoothest ride out there. :thumbsup

 

[River Lynchmob]

RD

Gary never stops tinkering with his motor or his boat for that matter. I would hate to know how many hours he has working on that thing. :bowdown:

RD

Still not gonna do it. Truth be told the restricted prop shaft height always rubbed me wrong. They say "Run what ya brung", but run it how we tell you. So whats the average speed needed to win the fucker over all, like 60mph or something? My boat will do 75mph all day maybe more if you put one of those fancy props on it and pulled the interior. Sounds like a contender right, no chance in hell. I bet it wont do 60mph at the required prop shaft height and to boot your gonna get the shit beat out of you and the equipment running it that wet. So at the end of the day I would end up putting 3-4 hours of heavy abuse on my equipment with no chance of winning.

FYI, I have no intention of ever racing boats, I'm just sayin:blah:

 

[Kyote]

I'll be there in Gary Hairebedian's pit. #17 All red Schiada V-drive baby!

I will be there as well. The since I am an old guy, I will be one of the fire guards.

 

[KING BEE]

Team "King Bee" #660 will be there to run for the second year in a row in the Schiada. We will make sure we don't run out of gas this year! Had a great weekend this weekend in the US Open Ski Races. Anyone that is there from RD's Place, be sure to stop by and introduce yourself.

 

[Hallett]

Lisa Rylee & i will be there, should be some good racing.

will see you there.

From last year's start 2008

 

[EarpRider]

There is also a Classic car show and Chili Cook off on Saturday, Oct 24th, at La Paz county park.

It baffles me why they'd do that on the same day every year.. Seems like it'd be better to move it one weekend and not have to fight the crowd for the boat races?

it'd also allow guys like myself to attend both.

RD

 

[stokerwhore]

might be some thunderstorms next weekend. a major huricane off mexico (presently a catagory5) by thurs day should be in the upper half of the sea of cortez with only 100 mph winds or so. it being 500 miles due south of parker i'm sayin' there might be a shower or 2 drifting up along the colorado river.

I'm gonna make a killing on these at the races.

Some of my investors believe these hats will be the next TapOut shirt.

With the upper turn moved further up river, La Paz might be a good viewing point...:drnkfr

I never encourage drinking.

But I will recommend the Smokers Umbrella!:thumbsup

They pushed it up too the jetski rental place I bought. That is still miles south of la Paz. Probably a mile and a half south of the keys still.

Yup. one of my neighbors is the main sponsor and he wnated the turn in front of his house.....makes for great viewing from my house :drnkfr

 

[Sawtooth]

I believe this will also be the same weekend as the Run To The Sun hot rod car show in Havasu, just saying.

I would just go over to rivershore and watch it from the island sounds like it will be the exit of the turn.

 

[riverratmike]

anyone know the frequencies the race teams are using this year? Wanted to listen in on my scanner.
