    Sports Marketing has sent out a lead sheet to all the hotels in the area for us and hopes to have an answer by the end of the week. They assure me they will have a full list of hotels available and campgrounds too. They asked that we remain patient and if you find something in the meantime go ahead and book it.

    Tom thanks for the campground info!

                  JH and AXR running?

                  Howie,

                  I did not see JH and AXR listed on the sanction on the APBA website.

                  I only have one motor, If you need Emily to run JH, will I have time to switch restrictor plates and change the motor for AXR? You know how fast I am with a wrench! (not very )

                    Sanction / Website is not not transferring the info on classes correctly, Cindy is working on this for us. All J classes will run at Lakeland.

                    David - There should be plenty of JH's present so its Emily's choice as to which class/classes she runs. If she decided to do both we will make sure whe has the time to make the switch!

                    Camping:

                    PDF file is attached with campground information for the surrounding area.

                    Hotels:

                    We hope to have a list by Monday...

                    Schedule:

                    No complaints / requests, so far so good!

                    Make sure you have looked it over since it did have a few small changes...

                          howie,

                          did you get any feedback on how many D's are attending? a couple covered wagons from oregon are headed that direction. might be room for a little D hydro if there is a class.

                              Hotels

                              The long awaited Hotel List is now here...

                              Some of the prices are up there, but remember that this weekend is pretty heavily booked with events throughout Lakeland and the entire Polk County area.

                              When booking hotels please use the code word "Lakeland Boat Races."

                              It may take a day or so for the hotels to get the word that we will be using this code word. This will help our Sponsor track hotel rooms booked by us which is what they need and how they get their funding which in turn keeps us with a sponsor!

                              Mileage from the pit area to the hotels (in order as printed on the PDF file)

                              The Bold names are the hotels we have listed as the "Host Hotels" with the Best Western as the Headquarters Hotel"

                              Best Western - 12.9
                              Holiday Inn - Lakeland - 6.8

                              Travelodge - 23.7
                              Green Gables Inn - 29.5
                              Stay Plus Inn - 26.5
                              Ranch House - 18.1
                              Holiday Inn - Bartow - 11.5
                              Jameson - 6.9
                              Stanford Inn - 12.8
                              Stay Inn - 11.8
                              Regal Palms - 34.8
                              Bahama Bay - 35.9

                                Ray, give me a shout regarding the shot list. I have some equipment and a cameraman available!

                                Also, does anyone know about how good the Internet coverage is there via cell phone, so maybe we can do some live streaming of the event?

                                Getting antsy to get in the boat!

                                When it comes to boat racing and the wife, it's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is permission, and of course I spent a number of nights sleeping on the couch!
