CHARLESTON 2005 ALL TUNNEL Championship

[topfuel443]

Mike, Send me the boats and gear. Get a cheap flight into Charleston, I will pick you up from the airport and take you to the pond no problem, I have an extra vehicle as well for you to drive if you want, also no problem. You CANT miss this race...

Completely serious about the offers, that goes for anyone else too....

OK.. this is ugly.. im not sure i can make it but maybe.
I have on my calender..

Minnesota 1/8 scale buggy points race. (weekend event)

CWMBC Pizza Party and race (our boat  club)

And a buggy race in Thorp WI

Now to the calendar a boat race (not just any boat race but a tunnel boat race) in a far away land...

Im going to blow off the thorp race if i go to the MIN points race.. Im going to race the CWMBC race if i make the thorp race.. If i do the min points race i will be blowing off all others that weekend and vis-a-versa for the Tunnel race..

Hummm...

The tunnel race would take me a full day to (and another back) drive to or so..  the MN points race about 3 hours one way.. the Thorp race 45 mins and the CWMBC race about 15 minuets.

Hummm....

If i can make it to the Tunnel race i will see you there.. any other hearty buds of mine want to take a trip?

As OBD for the IMPBA i just might feel like i need to be at the Tunnel race...Becieds how much could it cost to ship a boat to James and fly out for the race... aha.. i could ship and fly.. the trip MIGHT be shorter but not sure... waiting for planes and the like is never quick.

Will i be broke from this summers racing.. yea that is always the case.. so that should have little to do with this race..

Grim,

This is the never ending challenge for us. Long distance races will always be a logistic nightmare. I cannot speak for James (Gabe) but I can assure you and anyone else that if you want to ship your stuff to us we will take great care of it and get it on site. We also have some spare pit equipment that we can loan for use. Since I run only riggers I will not be running in the race. So some extra equip will be available. Tables, canopy, trailer to store them, starters, batteries, etc. I will be the CD so Gabe and Don can concentrate on racing. Their time to shine I hope.

There are 3 major airport options available. Charleston, Columbia, SC and Savannah, GA. Savannah is 45 minutes to the south directly off I-95 and the lake is located directly on I-95 at SC exit 62. Believe you will find that Savannah is not only closer but also the cheapest to fly into. Gabe and Don stayed at a good motel in Walterboro (9 miles south) last weekend for $37.00 a night.

We are southern hospitable people and will take care of all of you the best we can. We will try to do everything we can to support you and others that choose to come. I believe the comments from our past 2 races will bear that out. I hope you come but if not we understand why.
