Wednesday's the only day that I have a conflict that week, so whatever works the other days is cool with me. And I think you've got a good idea of where I'm coming from so if I have to miss, I'm sure you can articulate my perspective. Thanks.

We have a BOD meeting tonight to discuss the date change among other things. Any date requests??? Dana Point is a great venue so we just need a good time of year to get it set so we can make it an annual event. You have to throw it against the wall to see if it will stick....

Have the whales left word as to when they plan to be safely out of the area? I'm kidding, I love whales, eat them all the time. Delicious...
OK, seriously though what's the potential window that we're talking about for the reschedule. I was talking to a buddy last night who said he's been ticketed by the sherriff everytime he goes into the harbor in Dana Point. I'm assuming that's one of the anciliary issue that you guys are dealing with. Seems like they're more of a sailing port.

Wild, Fun event. It will be unlike anything you have ever witnessed on the East Coast. Here are a few pix of the Street party in '08.

We were looking into Late November (Turkey Run?) and possibly May also for the Dana Point Race. Sent out some echo location to see if the whales were ok with that. Tough to find dates when nothing is going on.
For Havasu we are looking at having a big paddle boat center of the race course for viewing during the Popra race on Sunday.
Street party is always a blast and we are looking at an IN The Red Poker nite on Saturday.

Tentatively planning on coming to Havasu this year. Can I run the Mag in P-5? Where is the rule book, and what preparations do I need to make to try and do this?

Here's all the info on the racing with POPRA. http://pacificoffshore.com/ Email them for fees and requirements. Maybe they'll cut you one-off guys a deal.
I've been good. Crankin' away at work and on the toys. I picked up Chrs B's (Duunoit) 28 Pantera race boat (in my avitar picture). We've been making some changes to the boat and doing general maintenance stuff (full load of nonsense down in the Pantera section under C-69). I check in on your rebuild thread from time to time. Lookin' good bud.
