Motels

How about posting some ph.#s for the motels. With all that is going on might be wise to get reservations early.

Nearby in the town of Brenham, TX you have most all of the big hotel chains. Maybe Mark Daspit can comment on that as he lives in Brenham. Mark.....

If anyone needs a driver for ANY class at this race. As long as I'm there and am not already in it. I'll be for hire haha. So bring all the equipment you guys want. We can find ways of getting it on the water. I can't wait. I LOVED it last year. Will hopefully have a couple of memory cards for my helmet cam this time. That should save me from filming to a limit like last time haha.

P.S. I might not be the "best" choice driver to pick, but I sure promise to give any rig I'm asked to drive my best and try to bring the owners a first place. lol

Try to stay off of the turn buoy's this year John!

Seriously I think that you could probably drive about anything that floats.

[johnml390]

Haha. That's the result of trying to dive to the inside of someone (Mark Daspit ;p) and them being smart enough to have already taken the nearest inside lane to the turn pin. Lol. That turn pin was later used as Mr. Mark's Sunday CSH victory reef haha. Good times

I dunno about ANYthing that floats. DON'T let me drive a turn boat or ANYthing other than a racing rig because oddly. I only do well in a small hydro or runabout. Haha.

Here are a couple of good "affordable" choices for motels in Brenham.

Roadway Inn - 979 836 1300 will take pets, but won't allow you to clamp your motors to the headboard to work on them. Prices well under $100.

Best Western - 979 251 7791 Easier to get to than the Roadway Inn, and a good little coffee shop next door, but gonna cost ya close to $100.

Lots of others in town priced a little higher, plus a bunch of B&B's and a nice antique hotel in Downtown Brenham.

If I can help, let me know.

Steve,

Bring some friends to help split fuel !! Joel W. would be a great contender for CSH, and the Y80 class.

Believe me, this group of guys will make you feel welcome. They don't bite. In fact, you probably already know a bunch of them.

Yep YEP!.....;
PS.....Lent my Pavlik 20ssh hydro to Joel....Look for him to kik Dana's butt.....with his own, old-rig!!!!

I need to say...
Brenham is in a different County.

Typically, the money that a county uses to promote tourisim, festivals, etc. Come from hotel and motel tax.

So, the good will of the folks in Somerville, plus the money used to launch this festival, not to mention the tow money for this race, is coming from the business in the county.

Seems the right thing to do is support the people who support you.

I posted a couple of motels in Brenham, but racers should everything they can to book their lodging, buy their gas, and eat in the restaurants of the town they race in.

That would be the towns of Somerville and Caldwell.

That list is available on the festival web site posted on this thread.
