Curious if any of the gang are going to haul to Burley this year? We have our campsite reserved and would love to meet up with anybody and maybe learn something in the process.........john

As of now were planning on it. Where did you make res., we haven't gotten that far yet.

jrork · « **Reply #2 on:** April 22, 2009, 07:36:12 PM »

That would be awesome! I emailed and sent in a check to the Burley Regatta Committee. At least that's what the website said to do. Hope we see you there.

Dude, right back at ya!

John, where you guys stayin? we're thinking tent trailer or maybe motorhome...

Brad @ SCJB · « **Reply #9 on:** May 06, 2009, 07:18:53 PM »

im still trying to convince the lady on this one.

They give you $500 tow money....its about 1,200 miles round trip. i get about 14mpg to tow....gas is about $2.20/gallon...thats just under $200 for gas....then you figure entry, food, beers, hotel, etc....it makes it a REALLY cheap trip.

i just gotta convince ralph to roll along

it was the best trip i went on last year, hands down. the drive sucks, but it was sooo worth it.

GT Jets · « **Reply #10 on:** May 06, 2009, 07:23:52 PM »

I am not afraid of the drive as much as my 26 year old motorhome, not that it wouldn't make it, just can't afford to break it right now, my Ford however got 22.5 MPG towing a tent trailer to Oregon last year and never missed a beat, it also holds 65 gallons now, so totally non issue.

Is there a good place to camp?, Given it's Idaho, I'm betting it's awsome...

Or would you opt for a hotel room, if available?

I just don't want to be camped too far away from the action or familiar strange faces

The first round does not always mean booze, Sheesh, what a lush, I was thinking steaks or burgers or something

But we'll definately drink Ralph's share

Very cool, hope it comes together for ya.

Do you have any idea what the boat count is looking like.

I'm planning on being there, but work needs to pick up for a little cash flow.

Hot damn! Glad all you guys are coming. We made reservations for our trailer right there in space 44. With that said, like Ron, I sent a check over 2 weeks ago and still havent recieved confirmation.

Everyone that I've talked to says this is a must attend event so we're really excited. See you guys there........john

Brad @ SCJB · « **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2009, 04:20:06 PM »

I just sent an email off to Mark Moyle asking him a bunch of questions, including about your camping payments which havent been confirmed yet. I will let you know what i hear.

Marcsrollin · « **Reply #20 on:** May 07, 2009, 06:52:09 PM »

Who can I hitch hike with?

I'll throw in a little gas money!

76 Bonneville · « **Reply #23 on:** May 20, 2009, 06:14:07 PM »

I still haven't heard from them nor has the check cleared yet.

Brad @ SCJB · « **Reply #24 on:** May 20, 2009, 06:37:36 PM »

im going to sit down with ralph this weekend and put the reality check in place to see if its possible to make this event without putting a serious rush on the build. either way im planning on going - racing or not.
