Southern Minnesota Boat Drags July 29th

[Barefoot Bob]

Just letting those who may be interested and havent heard about it. Whole weekend of fun starting Friday night and ending Sunday. Drags are from noon till 5:00 on Saturday with classes from lake racer I all the way to Pro Gas Outboard. We had a great time last year with just under 30 boats entered. This year will be bigger and better thanks to our sponsors donating door prizes from Allison, Hydrostream, Wizards Polish and Advanced Auto.

Hope to see you all here, Bob

Was a great event last year. As a novice racer I can say that it was a great learning experience and I look forward to being there for more fun in 2006.

Bob, just curious, how many boaters signed on as members of the UMPBA? Also, any rooms still left at any of the motels for the event?
Later, Mike

 

[Barefoot Bob]

Super 8 and Microtel have a few along with Holiday inn. But the cheepest way to go is Buget Holiday 507-354-4145 only $38.00 a night for the boat racers.

And we will do the Barefoot run before the race this year

 

[Barefoot Bob]

Forgot to mention, we have allot of guys that signed on as members again this year. Why do you ask?

Im there Bob, I would like to find where everyone is stayin, so I can reserve a spot. Is anyone camping? If its the same spot we went last fall, that would be a great spot to hang. This is gonna be a blast!

 

[Barefoot Bob]

There will be a few guys camping and they do have showers and such at the camp ground so its not a bad deal, the camping is real cheep.

I am going to have a get together with registration at my place Friday evening.

 

[BP]

Is there a pool or a pond? :lol:

 

[Barefoot Bob]

Is there a pool or a pond? :lol:

If your refering to the Camp ground, you are right off the lake. If you are refering to the cheepy motel there is no pool or pond. If you are refering to my place you can jump in the dirty Minnesota River right in front of my house...LOL :lol:

 

[BP]

John's question about a campground vs. hotel, made me think of the scene between Bill Murray and Chevy Chase in Caddyshack :lol: :lol:

 

[Barefoot Bob]

Just 3 weeks to go

Registration will be at my place from 7pm to 9pm. We will have free Happy Joes Pizza on hand with 1919 root beer on tap fresh from our brewery.

We also have some real nice door prizes from Allison and Mercury Racing to all registerd racers.

Looking for a whole weekend of fun.

 

[Scott in MN]

Bob, can you post a link to sign up with with the UMPBA or do I need to contact you personally...Thanks, Scott

 

[Barefoot Bob]

Just send me an email and I can send you a form barefootbob@myclearwave.net

New members are $25 and renewal is $50.00. That will help cover the cost to put together the chrismas tree.
If you are going to be at my place, you can join the Upper Midwest Powerboat Association and register for the race all at that time. It will be $40.00 to race.
