SpeedWeek 2024 at Blue Lake

[Jason O'Brien]

Yes, Speedweek is happening! February 3rd-11th. I'll be running the event this year (hey, it only took 20 years), and I have some very qualified people enlisted to help over the 9 days. Same format as always; 2-lap and SAW. Same amazing water, same amazing people. As an added bonus, I've done some civil engineering on the steps (meaning we actually have steps now). My goal is to have 317% less ankle fractures.

Entry fee is $75. If you know for sure you're coming, please message me. If you don't know yet, no worries, just show up when/if you can. Everyone is welcome. You can also text/call me at 229-740-0156 if you have questions.

Look forward to seeing everyone!!!

I gotta find my way back down there and see you guys again.

Where's Blue Lake?

 

[Jason O'Brien]

I-75, exit #13, in Valdosta GA. For a quick reference...middle of Georgia, 13mi north of the Florida border.

Heck yeah you do! I had beds last time you were here, but now they're all occupied with a varying size range of male children. Make you a deal...whichever one of them you can convince to clean up the front yard...you can have *that* bed!!!

Thanks John me too , it’s been awhile - I’ve been watching this event for years and always wanted to attend. you know how it goes you spend countless hours preparing and the testing never seems to go the way you’d expect it to.

Thank you!

Copied from Glens post from last year

If you are thinking of stopping by to run of even just to hang out the pond (Blue Lake) is located at the SW corner of I75 and exit 13 in Valdosta GA.

You guys are probably very busy but, I am curious has there been any new records set?

Got a message from John Finch saying it's been cold and less than ideal water conditions.

 

[Danny King]

It’s been windy.

John also told me they had gotten the S mono record and then Don Huff upped it to 95mph.
