Whoo Hoo got my Lynx and Shaman all ready for this one. Is there a web site up yet?

 

[VansRacing]

Man,

I am getting hammered about that web thing...LOL

Some Southern racing news:

Eric Betty ran his first R/C boat race this past weekend in Huntsville....man, I wished I had started out racing like he has.

1st place in Sport 20 tunnel

2nd place in 20 Mod tunnel (out of 1st by 7 points with an O/S Sport engine)

GREAT JOB ERIC BETTY!

We need more new boaters to come into this sport with a BANG!

Sorry to Hi-Jack your thread guys...Eric Bourlet "Smooth hand Luke" up there in Seattle. Send Grand Prix pictures down South!-Carl,

 

[Eric Bourlet]

Any web site yet ? I sure hope you boys from down south will make this one.

Jennie Lanza started a site for the Grand Prix Classic and put the link on the RCBoat listbot. For some reason I keep getting server errors everytime I try to go there(listbot).

 

[Jennie Lanza]

Hi Everyone!

I didn't realize you all moved over to this website (forum). I posted an update on the listbot but I guess this is where I should send updates to. Our old site is no longer working, so I started up a new one. It's not as FLASHY as the one Roger did as I'm html challenged. But I did my best. =0)

here is the site:

http://grandprixclassic.blogspot.com/

I'm in the process of working on an entry form which will hopefully be on our district 9 website

(www.namba9.net) once they post next year's race schedule.

I don't have a lot of info up on the site yet so if there's something you need to know, please feel free to email us at: [email protected]

Thanks!

Hopefully Inside RC will come again. I need to talk to Will about keeping his dogs out of the shot this time. I'll never live that down

I heard Alfred saying all he's going to need is an old wood Dumas hull to win A mod tunnel :lol: Also heard a rumor some hot wood hulls might be showing up from Arizona too.

Hope your stuff is ready because you know Lanza will be talking smack for at least the next 364 days if it isn't

 

[Jay Stone]

Alfred... Smack Talk? C'mon, not the same Alfred I know! HAHA yeah right..

SWEET....multi-engine riggers added to the program

 

[Jerry Dunlap]

Here's an entry that should prove interesting. Jim Wilson running one of JD's WOF 30s w/MAC 21 OB. Not sure if Jim's ever raced an OB tunnel, but he certainly knows how to get around the Fremont pond.

Anyone attending this race would do well to book their room online vs calling and asking for the Grand Prix discount as you will get a better deal booking via the internet for the same room.

 

[Mike McKnight]

By the way the GPC website is back up and running at www.grandprixclassic.com

 

[Roger Hooks Jr.]

Anyone attending this race would do well to book their room online vs calling and asking for the Grand Prix discount as you will get a better deal booking via the internet for the same room.

I called the Hotel to see what rate you got Eric versus the one that I negotiated. The rate is $55/night and as I understand it the one you booked is $5 more. Not sure if this is all correct as far as what you are paying but let me know if this is all true or not so we can narrow it down to where the descrepency might be and I can make sure everyone gets as low a rate as possible.

Thanks.

I will have to call again. They quoted me a higher rate when I called. I pointed out that the online price was $60.00 and the guy would not budge from $69.00. When I asked why the online price was less than the GrandPrix Clasic price he told me to book on line then.

UPDATE:Well we just called and talked to Jason at the hotel . He apologized and coverted my reservations to the $55.00 a night special. Thanks for fixing this Roger.
