Roanoke Rapids NC June 27/28

[ian]

OK, Roanoke Rapids, NC June 27/28. Right off of 95, South of the VA, NC border.
This will be an outboard only race, at a new site. There are no races for a couple of weeks bracketing this event, so show up. J's are welcome, and as far as I know, you don't need a special license, stern lights, or air horn to compete.
More details to follow,

Looks like my first race of 2009

OK, the town is ready for they're first boat race, and we are IT. All of the local hotels are offering discounts, and Gary Pond promises good water.

[Bill Huson]

minor concern . . .

"No RV parking in pits." Sorta like Camden *sniff-sniff* - no pit parking but parking close enough to pits a shuttle service was not required. Will Roanake Rapids have the same deal? Close RV parking?

Next question - camping for us cheapskates?

[devin14e]

1 j hydro!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need you're support. Gary Pond, get Abby to show you how to chime in with the particulars.

We REALLY need you're support for this race. Unless you're scared...or hate kids....or scared.....

[Gunjumper]

Unfortunatly there is a racing wedding scheduled for that weekend in Atlantic City,and the Lyons/Runne North and South/Jennings/Gallagher families will all be in attendance. Maybe next year...

[ian]

Hmmm... so I need to convince S.B. to move the wedding date at the last minute. That shouldn't be a problem, eh?

[sam]

850 hydro will take up the slack with plenty of noise . I'll have 2 legal boats on my trailer.

Anyone looking for High Points in 850 can't afford to miss this oppertunity

And oh yeah Ian, your kid scares me, she is getting tall. You must be feeding her too much.
