World Outboard Champs

[Tim_Duggan]

Brad, I am VERY keen to get this all OB race up and going as an annual event. I think it can work really well on its own.

A sponsor would be awesome, especially at such short notice and would create even more interest.

It would be cool to make it annual. Just have to pick the right time of year and right water so it doesn't end up too rough.

That Said you need to come to Melbourne and NOT Sydney

1: MARCH 7-8-9 2014 Caribbean Masters hosted by RMBC at Caribbean Gardens, Vic.

First event of the year Hosted by my Club is on that weekend

Melbourne is a 1 hour flight from Sydney or a 9 - 10 hour drive

A good chunk of the Sydney guys normally attend

Thanks Greg, but I dont have much choice on the dates , Sprint is covering the tab, not us

Thanks Tim, as we get closer I will contact you.

Anyone have a rough idea of what a cab ride from the airport out to near the lake would cost?

Cheers

 

[dion smith]

I want to avoid that if I can that's why I was keen to get an estimate, online estimater is crap

 

[dion smith]

Wow, might be no avoiding the train

 

[Tim_Duggan]

Yeah Dion, it's too far by cab. Over a hundred each way! Rent a car or catch a train. What day are you heading up? Maybe we can tee something up.

 

[dion smith]

Sat arvo at this stage

 

[Kris Flynn]

Competitor list updated

What about u Wayne? Can't choose which one to run?

BOOM TUCKWELL?

Gino might be added....see how he goes

I will add Dion when he confirms

 

[dion smith]

Could be a good option Greg, I think the race is this weekend coming

 

[Kris Flynn]

Haha good stuff...we are talking about Sunday the 17th mate

 

[BradSpencer]

What about u Wayne? Can't choose which one to run?

Kris, you will find Wayne in the "Prop Swap" section. He rarely ventures out of that thread LOL

It would be great if Wayne, Murph, Gino and Kesso can make it as well.

To be confirmed, But I plan on traveling up Saturday, and spending Saturday and Sunday night at the Holiday Park.

 

[Wayne Johnstone]

Although I do have a COUPLE of boats, not all are ready to hit the water. I will have A Outboard Sport & A Outboard mod boats there though. Hope to have the scale boat to run in the support races ready as well.

 

[Kris Flynn]

What would you run Greg?

We will probably get up there Friday and stay at the caravan/holiday park untill Monday morning

Our car will be full with kids, inlaw (baby sitter) and wife. So I am good to party LOL

PLUS i have planned some very important work related stuff Monday in Wollongong...big coincidence!

 

[Tim_Duggan]

Boom has to work. Problem with being self employed 1 man band. He is not happy about it but it's huge money he'd lose if he doesn't do it that day.

 

[Wayne Johnstone]

What hull is the b outboard Greg?

 

[Kris Flynn]

Sweet potatoes

 

[Andrew Tuckwell]

Yep massive fail for me .

Hopefully I'll make a appearance mid afternoon to talk some B.S.

 

[Kris Flynn]

Bummer Greg, always next time!

Im no good at talking BS mate, but it would be good to catch up...its been ages

 

[Kris Flynn]

after some carnage Yesterday with engines, i think we are ready to make the trip and kick some ***!

Looks like we scared the internationals away...typical of them to not want to prove themselves as REAL World Outboard Champs!

 

[RonShaw]

Kris,

I would love for some of us to come run with you guys one day.
