Regatta: Who's racin' & Who's watchn'.....................

We can get a guy in a boat to arm drop, so no B.S. or games.

So, now that that's out there, how much 'APPEARENCE MONEY' is Tony going to put up to see us race?? We'll split it.

Turtle, I'm in. Sounds good...but, how about in two weeks 27,28th ? The CP deal isn't looking good for me...work

Wayne sorry we won't be there ( Bonneville week) maybe I'll see you at Power Tour at the end of the season. I'll make sure the Nos is working and we'll see how long it takes for you to blow by me....

Go find another thread to pollute John. Maybe you can arrange to have your boat dropped from a B-52 @ 25,000' with you strapped in it. It should run 120 till impact.............

Go back to welding your Oil Pan now.......

I'll talk to my dad in the a.m. and see what's up. I know they're going up to Sunol at the end of the month sometime for my nephew's 2nd b-day.

If it doesn't happen, we'll be at the races in October. I'm sure we can get someone to pair us up there at least once or twice.

Let me get this straight.

You start at thread calling out everyone to the Regatta. You say it is a shit talking thread. You post that YOU and YOUR DAD will "maybe" race or "maybe" just show up and watch. And now you want show up money? Come on Turtle, how may excuses can you come up with not to race your boats? You guys act like the western hemisphere is sitting on pins and needles waiting to see Turtle and River Racer race! Just show up, line up with whomever calls you out, beat down some, lose some have a beer and get ready for the next one!! And yes Bring Brandon Stillwell with you. It never fails, on my way home from the river I always end up passing your dad at about the Chiriaco Summit.

Don't you think you're stacking the deck there ....just a little with Wayne?

Maybe go from a dig and then a roll and see how it goes..... even it out a little.


" pollute" oh I'm crushed........

Just rec'd this from Turtle via his phone. He wants me to post it as he is working and has pipe oil all over his hands by now. I'm just the messenger on this one......................

Obviously, at least one person in the western hemisphere is. I'll personally leave you a pass at the front gate Tony(no money need be put up). In October, you can use your influence to leave me one at Ming. I'm sure with your minor amount of authority & notariety, you should be able to pull that off. Just for the record, I've called out NO ONE. My dad simply agreed that he and Wayne might race. Where's all the hubbub in that??

Next time you pass my MOM(she drives home from the River while my dad sleeps) you should hold a sign out the window. "HI. I'm TONY" You know, like they give you at a reunion, but bigger.

Just don't want to discuss with you the particulars of how you 'fertilize' your garden John, and don't want THIS thread locked. No, RR doesn't think he is. Wayne's boat ran WELL the last time at the races and has been improved since then. I don't think it's stacked at all, either. They'll both have an equal chance if, or when, it happens. Wayne's working that weekend, and I have to wait to see my dad later to find out when we're leaving for my sister's place up north.

As far as 2,3.4,5 or 10 passes John, concentrate and spending YOUR money, not ours. We can decide without help, pressure, prodding, advice etc. Thanks.

He's down to race anyone, seamed pretty quick from what the little i saw last weekend of it??

He will be at the regatta but does not post here.

You mean Adam Sim>M<ons. Yah? So what? We've pitted next to him at 4-5 races now. Adam knows us, and we know him. He knows what my dad's boat runs, and we've watched him make 40-50 passes between both his boats(old & new). I think you & your brother should race him with your HAPPY TANKS on kill. Don't think you'd like the result as his boat scoots. By the way, it's not Blue. It's Don's old boat, and is more Purple.

I imagine you'll hear more when Turtle's hands are clean.

I'm interested to see who ELSE is going to make noise. After all, everyone on here has a boat that'll do a HUNDY, EASY!!

You guys crack me up!!!

I love how you all give the big disclaimer as to where you are posting or who you have "pinch hitting" for you on your posting!! Classic Stuff!! "Uh, River Racer asked me to post this as he is banned" Turtle asked me to post this as his neck is tucked in at the moment." LMAO!!

Actually, Both times I have seen Dennis, he was driving. That Ford in there is clean! It is all business. I watched it run at Bakersfield and it get's with it.

So my question is this: Why is it that you will not race anyone outside of your hand picked boats to run? Is it a waste of fuel? Hard on parts? Obviously there are gross mismatches but for the most part you guys are all very similar in performance.

I will leave Turtle or whomever a pass at the NJBA gate at the next race. I'll even leave Stillwell Angel a vehicle pass but does he have a car?

If I recall correctly there's a run-up to the lights at the races so the prop boat is up and moving. It's not quite going from a dig, but whom am I to argue if Wayne wants to enter a "stacked" race I shouldn't expect anything less from you.

As far as the number of races, Oh yes I forgot....anymore than two passes and that engine will turn Blue.

Sorry I'm going to miss the fun, but hopefully I'll catch some of the guys at Power Tour.

Have a great day.

LOL!!

This stuff is Freaking entertaining as hell! There is a line forming to race these guys and they want no part of it!! WHy even bother? Just go out and race and let them sit in their own camp throwing a pity party! Sooner or later they will come out and join the fun.
