Good time!!

MMarsha 06-03-2011 09:50 PM

I've never been but good peeps on that run!!!

Jack from Tomes is a great guy!

C_Spray 06-03-2011 10:53 PM

Man up and show up, Frank! All us locals are wondering about you... ;)

I'll be there with the Batboat again this year.

Panther 06-04-2011 04:54 PM

Thanks Chuck! Saw you out today. I got the boat in the water this morning and took a ride up the river. I was on the opposite side of the island near the train bridge and saw you go buy. Jetmech was out with me and ran back to the Nauti Goose with Blue Thunder.

I'm going to try and make it. I have a lot of personal stuff going on right now but it's fathers day weekend and I'm going to ask for a hall pass!

jetmech 06-05-2011 10:13 AM

We plan on attending this run ... money goes to the local fire company .

The t-shirts are rumored to be especially good this year..... ;)

Thanks in advance for the XL...

Hi Guys, not sure I'll be able to make the run. Shipped my MSD Box back to them today, the tachometer signal stopped working. I should have a new one in 2 wks.

I found a used box in Chicago but by the time it's shipped next week and getting it re-installed, plus closing on the house coming up, I just don't think I can make it happen. Frank offered to lend me his 6AL box but I'd have to change the harness or cut up my existing harness and it's just too much of a PITA.

Sorry guys. :(

MMarsha 06-16-2011 07:49 PM

Norm hooked you up so no excuse..

Panther 06-17-2011 09:24 AM

Wish I could make it Mark, just not possible. :(

Panther 06-20-2011 11:18 AM

Heard you guys had a great run!! I was crossing the Rt. 95 bridge on my way to Anchor and saw everyone heading down the river towards the bay.

Towards the end of the day, about 3 pm I went up river to see if I could catch you all coming back in. I drifted around in front of Tomes for a while but didn't see anyone so we headed back to Anchor.

I didn't realize the Suskey had dock space, otherwise I would have pulled in and waited for everyone to get back. I went there for lunch yesterday by land with the family.

Meanwhile, I took a ride around Turkey Point and up to where my new house is going to be, then headed to Chesapeake Inn for Lunch, then over to Tomes and back to Anchor.

MMarsha 06-20-2011 12:04 PM

Turkey Point? That is not too, too far from me. 301N to 214E by land.

Todd Harper owns Turkey Point Marina and a few other thing. Cancun Cantina is bar he owns 1/2 of and he has/had a 46 Skater he raced with that on there. He had a 38' Cig that was his dads that he races as well, will never give that boat up I don't think. The other owner is Ron IIRC and he has a Concept. I forget the story but Todd is related to Johnson & Johnson (Tide, Band-Aid, Neutrogena, Listerine, etc). He had a few Tide race cars in his garage at one time. It's been about 10 years since I've seen him so doubt he knows who I am but use to boat out of Turkey Point every weekend for about 5 years.

He has (or had) a house right down the street and throws one HELL of a party!

That's a different turkey point than the one he is referring to. There are no marinas there just a lighthouse.

Looks like there's a boat out ahead of you. ;)

Dan Burger didn't want to run too hard, so he specialized in quick-starting. It was nice that the whole field waited for all boats at each card stop.

Panther 06-22-2011 04:46 PM

that's cool! If I made the run I would have cruised so that would have been nice. Too early in the summer to window a block!:eek:

I second that. I put this run near the top of the fun list strickly due to that fact alone. Thats how runs should be run.

No doubt!! Looking forward to doing a run with all of you guys soon!

The NJPPC does the AC poker run the same way. Last year we would stop at each stop, wait for everyone, then take off. There were several classes, the ocean class (no speed limit), the 70 mph inside group and the 60 mph inside group. In the speed limited group you could not pass the pace-boat or you would be DQ'ed. The ocean, non speed limited group, once you passed the jetty coming out of the inlet you were free to run your own speed.

I had more fun on the inside group because everyone stuck together and the last 5-10 miles we went out the cut and into the ocean so I still got to do a little ocean running that day. Coming home the next day I ran the ocean all the way home.

Blue Thunder gets the Good Samaritan award for following Jetmech back to the ramp and waited for him and his crew to trailer the injured boat and then take them all on the rest of the run. BT I bust your balls all the time but you and Jesse are a couple stand up good people. Thanks for the help with the drive and also the offer to repair it if things didn't work out at Tomes.:rock
