Motels at Grove

We are waiting on a major sponsor who will want us to use their hotel. If you feel that you need to make reservation now, Honey Creek Motel, and stonebrook motel are good places, please wait if you can and I will announce it next week.

Out of state drivers?

Doc,
What do you mean?.... $15 OBRA membership for out of state drivers.....

Are you saying that everyone who is not an OBRA member needs to pay $15? In addition to class fees? I believe everyone who plans to attend is already a paid member of their own club plus paid members of NBRA. Please clarify for us, thank you.

Rick,
Thanks for the clarification, I thought that was what he meant but it didn't come across that way. Thank you, hope to see you in a few weeks!

Please define "local" please so if you are from a club outside of Oklahoma you pay an additional $15.00 on top of the race fees and fuel to come and race. Or, if you are a member of an NBRA affiliated club you are exempt from this fee?

Thunder on Wolf Creek

More information; Testing will be from 10-5pm on Friday. We are in a residentual area and noise can bring complains from locals. So come early and have the whole day to test. Testing will start at 9am on Sat. till 11am. Driver's meeting at 1105. We will have a open ceremony with drivers holding their state flags and drivers will be introduced. A broadway star, Ron Young will sing the national anthem. We will bring the boats down a ramp and the announcer will give your number, color of boat and something about your driver history(you must give that information to Dan Crummett). Winners will stand on podium and Miss Grand Lake will put the medalion on your neck. This will be done for the Short Course only. If you havn't joined a NBRA club, OBRA has a reduced rate of 15$. If you havn't raced in a NBRA race this year the day fee is 15$ for NBRA. This fee is used to pay for expenses for National Championship events and trophies for the High Point awards and other expenses of NBRA. We have $8000 in door prizes that I collected over the winter and spring, all valued at least $50. the large prize is a $1000 big screen tv. Each driver and car, motorcycle entry will get a chance to win these prizes. You can purchase a ticket for $10 and that money goes to tow money. The facilities at this site is just the best, gravel shoreline, concrete ramps, good visibility, digital clock, camping area near boats. I have reduced the entry fee in hopes of getting as many boats here, we have room for you.
We need to recognize that what we do is extraordinary and we should do something to give our self's some credit. Doc Miller 19187911733 cell

Hotel Monico

Looking at Google earth the race site should be outstanding! Where will the RV parking be and how will the trailers be located at the site. Can the RV stay attached to the trailer. We will arrive on Thursday night.

Thunder on Wolf Creek

OBRA is offering a membership of a NBRa club for those who may not be a member of a NBRA club. We expect a number of racers that are not members of a NBRA club that will come to our race. I joined a club last year in a APBA race, the membership cost $35 and they did not send me a thank you note or any information about their club. It was just a fee that it cost to run a race. When you add that to the $40 per class, it cost 420 to race that weekend. I really want to lower the cost of racing, because I remember when gas cost .25cents a gallon. Our normal cost of a OBRA membership is 35$. To come to Grove and race a weekend , I believe $15 is still too high., but the rules say you must belong to a local club and we are offering it at a bargin.
Parking of RV, if we do not have rain will be on a grass area near (80feet) from the pits. If it rains then we will need to stay on the parking lot near the pits. We do not have a space problem with 10 acres of parking lot. Everyone that has visited the site has really like it. Eric Vanover, Bryan Tharpe, Burning Vernon Barfield to name a few..Let's make some THUNDER!

Hotels

Doc, should we call and make reservations or still wait on what you are working on?

[Dave M]

Stonebrook

We made reservations at Stonebrook a few weeks back. Given the distance we travel, was not taking a chance on not getting a room close to the pits.

Hopefully more tow money is received from the sponsors, work hard Doc !! 8K in door prizes is sweet, but cash in hand is better.
