What other Sabers are planning on being at the Shootout this year?? I'll be there and I plan on running my boat again. We have rented a house at Captain Ron's so we are literally in the middle of everything!! (I can walk out of the house and be at the drivers meeting) So if anyone is planning on attending let me know so we can hook up for a cold one!!
Not that I would actually be bringing a Saber this year but man I've been wanting to go to the shootout so bad for a long time !! It wouldn't take me much to hop in the truck & do a kamakazi turnaround for 1 day.. I just done a mapquest & its right around 680mi one way so it would take lots of red bull..
Maybe some 6 Hour Power plus the RedBull......:sifone:Quote:

Well long story short and after some intense sweating I felt as if i was gonna pass out and puke at the same time.. Still not real sure what happened on that one !! haha.. Moral of the story: There's just no substitute for good ole adrenaline !!Quote:

I emailed Doug and told him he should send me some banners and hand outs to pass out, heck our place in smack dab in the middle of everything!!! If you show up, between the both of us we could probably sell a couple of new 28's!!

We are staying at Captain Rons and if you look at this map the exsisting houses are marked in grey...

As much as I would love to come for the weekend its not very likely that I could..
I'm with you, some nice Saber literature would be nice..
So is the ole gal gonna bust 90 this year ?? I know a "fly weight" that may be good for .3 on the radar.. haha..
I read in powerboat magazine that Doc ( Saratoga Stampede, cuttingedge marine) was hosting there annual party ( Taste of Torque) on Friday night of the shootoutQuote:

I heard that there will be some Turbin boats, and a fleet of SVL Boats there this year...
I need to find lodging,, , any suggestions?
Call Captain Ron's and ask them if they have any of their places open...
Other than that I'd say try one of the rental places that rents out condo's (at the Lake of the Ozarks) and ask them for something close to the shootout.
I called the old Horney Toad place ( OSS race site last year),,Quote:

From Lone Oaks, LakeView Resort to the Tan Tara Marriot Resort
