2009 APBA Winter Nationals???

[johnml390]

Anyone have any info on this race. The last I heard it was supposed to be in Pineville, Louisiana. Im just curious as to the dates/ whether it will be Stock AND Mod. or just one or the other. Ive been spending a lot of time off the site and a little concentrated on my dirt bike so I am a little lost on whats going on. Thanks guys for the help in advance.

If I remember right the last Winter Nats there the lake was open for testing Wed and Thurs before the Nats or might of been just Thurs.

What type of course is it?Long or Short?River or Lake?

The race will be on Lake Buhlow, a great body of water to race upon. The lake can be affected by a westerly wind, but often the water is outstanding. Nothern Louisiana in March means bring flannel, long Johns and space heater. But the cold keeps the reptiles sleeping!!

What about the fire ants?

Speaking of reptiles, at the end of the 2007 season AOF held a national event at Pineville that was not well attended so not many folks experienced a somewhat disturbing situation on Sat morning. While setting up, a medium gator (6 feet ) was languishing about 20 yards off the beach from the pits. It was seemingly just watching us. Kids were in and out of the water and, while folks were aware of it's presence, we were not particularly concerned. I got tossed out of my boat in the first go that morning very close to where that critter had been hanging out. Needless to say, I didn't waste a lot of time getting into the rescue boat. We didn't see the gator during the racing througout the day. I have often wondered if he left the area or just went deep re-acting to the engine noise. Also wondered if he liked orange Kevlar.

Jack dont you know that orange is a favorite color of gators, it remides them of the warm climate of florida, and the taste of warm people flesh LOL jeff

Couldn't we pick a warmer,safer site? It is going to be 2009.

Pineville, Louisiana

Just a few reasons to come to Louisiana.

1. One of the best race sites around.
2. End of March the weather should be excellent.
3. Central location for all racers.
4. Best food around.
5. Lodging close to race site.

Need to start a thread to see who's attending.
