Tawakoni Hot Boat Regatta

He showed me some spaces we can park down by the small cabins. We should be fine

I bet a lot of us will be parking over on the left side of the marina cove where the long fishing pier is .. We could back them all inline ( East to West parking ) to the cove and get a lot of boats and trailer parked over there , and if you wanted to pitch a tent , do it behind the truck and trailer in line to the cove .. .. That what I had in mind to do ..

There is also a parking area on the other side of the little cove from the field your talking about.

This is just my 02.  If we have to we can use the boat ramp off of 751 which if you look at pic #9  BILLY TOOK its just around that point and under the bridge on the right side.  NOT far at all.  If you are by yourself and wish not to leave your truck at the boat ramp. I will personally and Im sure other will go with ya and help ya put in and bring your truck trailer back to the park.  But they will be fine over there.  As far as TEST running yea I was thinking the samething east to west which is right to left.  There shouldnt be much traffic on the lake but we might get a few lookers from the boat ramp area if they here us.  But thats better than have trouble from the HOME OWNERS the hole weekend.  Just have to keep look out for the on lookers and there rollers. Cause we all know they dont have a CLUE!  crazy.gif  And as far as it looks we are going to prob have to use the field that Billy is talking about for over flow BUT THATS A DAM GOOD THING...  jump.gif.  As far as the  olice: goes there is only Wardens that run this lake and I know most of them. NOT saying I can get ya out of CHIT. And BOBBY has met them FIRST hand  :smile16:.  They are pretty cool guys most of the time.  Im sure if they show up they will check out the rides and maybe shoot the breeze with some and roll on.  As long as we are all legal and safe at TEST running.  Yes there is alot of full time folks that live there LOL LOL they are in for a TREAT HAHAHA!  Horse Shoe pit, Pool table inside REC center and VOLLEY BALL court as well.       
Margirita MECH hint hint DAN?  Hopefully everyone wll have a good time. And Bobby will make it and annual DEAL  think.gif.  ME and the Wife are already off FRIDAY.. OCT  14th  Bobby you doing a HELLZ of a JOB bro.  Bobby you still bringing your grill.

It's time for everyone to get the boats dialed in for Tawakoni!

I wish I was closer to Tawokoni and I wuld run out there to get my boat dialed in .. I am thinking of putting my 1250 gas carb on  and run some C-114  to see how it does instead of the E-85 carb for the event ,, Might bring both to see which one does better on the day of the event if I don;t find water close to me ..

Is this just a regular boating event or is it side by side testing  think.gif

I'm setting up a 1,000ft course for side by side testing.

[Knotty Girl]

We talked about this alittle last night at our OHBA meeting. Folks are really excited about coming down. they had a few questions and you guys might know

1. do the cabins have all the bedding like a hotel room or do we need to bring sheets and blankets? pillows ect?

2. is there going to be a radar gun for the side by side testing?

3. whats the food situation? Do we need to bring just for us? or a Potluck deal?

I be happy if the dam thing will start up after sitting for so long .. I have not laid down a hard pass with the new engine yet . It only has maybe 45 minutes on the new block .. So I might need to run around just a little more before I really stand on it .. The rings were not seated in the last outing , had a little blow bye last time out .. i think the race fuel would help them seal quicker than the E-85

I be happy to get back on the water and run around some .. I need to test this thing , Wish it would rain around Granbury ..

I'll get back to you on your questions hammer.

Brazos River Rat, I have 5 gallons on race fuel at my shop, Don't remember the numbers,(112, 114, or 116),but it's Sonoco fuel and if you show, I'll donate it to the tune-up.  I'll have the numbers soon.

Thanks . My Brother in Law just told me I could use some of his race fuel out of the drum he has at my house . he has almost a full drum of V.P.114 ..
