Too cool Mike!
Mrs. Smock will be on the stand. You'll have to get the Mrs. to come by and say hello
.
I'm trying to figure out how I can possibly repay you for the generosity you showed me over on Jims.
I'm sure I'll think of something. LOL

Getting quite a bit of rain this evening. We'll have a brand new surface to race on.

She's gonna love the Georgia Aquarium (the one in Atlanta) That place is AWESOME! Those Whale sharks are unreal.
I took my son there a few years ago after a race, had a lot of fun.

See you guys soon,
Chris

You better behave Doug or I'll have Dick Loeb lead the D12 war dance.

It will be nice to finally meet you Chris. Looking forward to a fun, safe weekend of racing. With all the crap thats been posted on the boards lately, a good weekend of racing with friends is all it takes to justify the time and expense we put into this hobby.

Over 150 boats registered and it looks like all classes have the minimum entries to run!!

Does IMPBA still allow a one racing event pass. I remember you could pay to race in one event without having a full year membership.

[Chilli]

I believe thats only for current NAMBA or APBA members.

I hate driving in Atlanta. The Aquarium is almost as hard to find as Naturally Fresh pond is. I get lost everytime I go to that pond.

That's funny Mike, looks like Dick when he takes 2nd place behind his lovely bride.
Oh the crap on the board lately is nothing. I plan on doing a bit of preaching at the drivers meeting. No worries though, I realize that there will be women and children present.
Do you want to pit where you did last time. I need to know where to set up the "Fire Station" LOL

This is shaping up to be the biggest GP of the year, I'm stoked!!
Doug

PS There's gonna be lots of this when you guys see my boats run.

Yes sir, you sure can!
What classes are you going to run?
We need to get you signed up as a AMB member as well. We're going to need some help in the retrieve boat.

I'm not sure how that works with RcRacingevents having never run the program myself, but we'll figure it out at check in.
