What did she make a joke and you laughed a little to hard.:sifone:

[Chris]

I believe those are two of the infamous Dave-ettes.

[glassdave]

LMAO :D . . . . to funny, yea we were way into the cups at that point and when they said we had won i was a little worried about navigating the stairs and stage :D

[Chris]

The two of you look absolutely baked.

[glassdave]

:D . . . oh . . we were . . . .

[Chris]

That's a surprise

[Ratickle]

How come Dave doesn't have a "spot" on his pants? Not as excited?

[glassdave]

Dave looks so natural in that moment. :D

[Offshoredrillin]

A/C Racing will be there to defend in June...anyone else going to go?

[fund razor]

Would love to go. Been wanting to go. Made a plan but had to hold it.

Work is number one, but If I can leak out, I will run down. But I don't have a lot of continence that it will happen. Depends.

We've discussed a SO Poker Run. Would an event like the Aronow race be a good place to link with? Many of our members are really into the Old School boats.

I checked the HORBA site- it appears to not have been updated.

The last I heard the '09 run will be down the Keys? Any updates on that?

[Offshoredrillin]

I know Charlie is working on something, this one is being done by another group. I'm sure Brad has all the details...

[BRAD SCHOENWALD]

Hey guys, this years event is going on full force.

Info is coming, The first Official Press Release is done and stacked in file at the City of Sunny Isles who's management staff has been on Holiday.
The event will be held June 11th-14th of 2009 with essentially an identical format of last year, with the date being moved up one week at the request of the City o SIB who of course is the primary sponsor.

Fri the 12th BIMINI Memorial Ocean Race
Sat the 13th “Thunderboat” Poker Run and OSS Race boat testing
Sun the 14th OSS Race Final

The permitting has been done; I have already met with Miami-Dade County and secured Haulover Park for the date. This entire event is being done by a new organization which was created out of necessity. OFFSHORE EVENTS LLC.

A website is done but not yet ready for WWW release. I can e-mail anyone interested the rule book and registration documents if you are interested in racing.

The classes have been changed to reflect who actually signed up and raced last year. Most everything else remains the same.

Happy New Year and look for the Big Bang press release later this week as well as additional big new throughout 2009

cool way to keep track of everyone, will those be the timers as well?

[Top Banana]

I checked the HORBA site- it appears to not have been updated.

The last I heard the '09 run will be down the Keys? Any updates on that?

The dates on the HORBA site are for open ocean races in 2010.

We chose not to participate with the race promoters in the Sunny Isles to Bimini race this year.

We encourage anyone who wants a taste of open ocean racing to try it.

We wish best of luck to everyone, just want to clarify that this June race has nothing to do with HORBA or affiliated with us or the use of the Don Aronow name in any way.

[Racegirl3]

Ok .... so ... just to clarify, there will be a Bimini and back deal but it is not the Don Aronow Memorial deal. Interesting.

[Offshoredrillin]

NO the official timing and scoreing will be the same. Redundant clocks and scorers on the beach. I did look into some other timing devices but cost and logistics are too high and too much. This will just be a cool way to see everyone as well as provide another level of safety.

BTW, If i cant get a seat in another boat (Race Boat) I will be right in front of you all the way over and back in my Top Gun :boxing_smiley:

lol very cool. my motors only had 4 hours on them last year and I didnt go over 4800 rpms, this year with less fuel and labbed props I'll be at 5400 and avg 72+, not 64...oh and a kick ass map and beers and suntan lotion..whats top speed on your gun?

canopies are cool, but I like the outside old school ride

Run your Gun.

That is one of the sharpest looking boats I've seen in person.
If you need someone for ballast, I'll gladly apply.

[Lubejobs42]

This year is going to be great. Much bigger then last year. I have spoke with at least 8 guys that will be running that didn't attend last year. I know the organisers are working on a lot of cool stuff! This year is going to blow away last year!!!!

Thank You, It is a great boat I am very thankful to have been able to get it. As much as I want a big power cat, those boats do so many things so well and while realative to everyhtng in our life, they are way less expensive to run maintain and you get to go recreational boating with ease.

sweet...maybe the water will kick up a little and level out the field...either way it's going to be fun. now that everyone has a better idea of what to expect.

[Racegirl3]

Hey Brad ... if you run your boat and need a navigator, I can pull tape as well as the next guy ... assuming the next guy is Dave :biggrinjester:

:D

[Ron P]

Watch out Gino, I don't think the Gieco guys will be sitting on the beach this year.

Team Edgerock has a nice ring to it. Hmmmm..... Bravo Butts beware.

[Chris]

Craig- you gonna' do this one?

[OldSchool]

Craig- you gonna' do this one?


Probably, but just as a spectator. I was planning on being there last year and that got nixed by some family health problems. I wouldn't 100% say that I'm not taking the boat, but that's a LOOONG tow and I really doubt it. :leaving::leaving: I was trying to get a rise out of the Bravo Butts.:biggrinjester:

[Chris]

I'll come over and do the driving. We can get Team COTAD out there for a big showing. Rob & Dave, Otis and his (Stecz's) Gladiator, Nick is a short drive away- I bet we can bait him in. Maybe Tommy can be persuaded to leave his 39 down until then. And by then, we may have another member...

We may not win $hit, bit I'll bet we'll have a good shot at being asked to leave the state. :)

I've got no need for excuses Rob....just no burning desire to do it. If you want a warmup, we can race to Solomons Island and back from the Bay Bridge. That's probably about the same distance. :) ;) That would probably be a good event for the CBPBA and alot of fun!

ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S A COTAD NATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cheers2::cheers2:

I talked to Tom- he's seriously thinking about doing the race. I'm going to PM Otis later. The pressure's on, Craig.

Hey Brad ... if you run your boat and need a navigator, I can pull tape as well as the next guy ... assuming the next guy is Dave :biggrinjester:

:D

Where you pullin the tape from in a 1 lap race...and does he scream when you do it? :biggrinjester:

[Buoy]

OK when you guys figure out who's going to run, and who isn't, I need an invite to be at least ballast.
I wanted to do this last year in my own boat, but things work wise haven't been working out to get my boat back together.
I just want a seat and to be able to say I did it.

[Lubejobs42]

Watch out Gino, I don't think the Gieco guys will be sitting on the beach this year.

That's good to know!! I'll tell Larry we might not have time to stop for lunch in the Bahamas this year!

I'd be all for that, ya think others up here would want or would it just be 2 boats showing up?

the thing about this race is, its not about the other guy, it's the clock. You don't get all bunched up with other boats around you, they are in your site, but you're running hard like a weekend run, just trying to coax everything you can out of the boat and optimize on the water conditions.

[phragle]

another chance for Gino to kill cat killer......

Congrats Rob, we need a thread just for that picture,"make caption here":)
