trip aug 3,4,5th

Depends on how long it takes to sell the Miller and how much I get for it.  ;) If the Miller hasn't sold by then there will be no way in hell that I can make that trip.  :)

It needs to be gone soon enough to get $ to the Roger's engine builder so he can have the time to get the engine together and I can put the Roger's back together... everyone that I've talked to that's had a Rogers similar to mine say I will love it. I hope so, because I really like that Miller.

I've been wrong before, but I thought I read somewhere that a Rogers Bonneville had some sort of circle race record.  ???

i'm sure it does, cj410 is a rogers but they did some work to make it turn. steve the guy who owns the red and white one said his will spin out verry easy. when i rode in it it didnt turn verry well.  dont get me wrong it was one hell of a ride, well worth keeping your's

The Rogers 18 bottom, and the 19tr too, were among the finest, maybe the best, bottom ever made. They pretty much dominated circle racing back in the day.  ;)

anyone see that black and yellow jet lodged on the rocks upriver? or maybe you noticed the beer floating downstream? yep, that would be me. engine cut 15 feet from shore goin 40 boat pitched to the right up the river bank. everyone bailed and was ok boat should be in the water in a few weeks......ready to go it again haha! hopefully pics should be comin soon if the camera wasn't ruined (everything went in the water)

I heard from Jerry (v-drive video) about this. He rolled up there with his brother in-law who drove the big vessle assist tow rig. He said it was back in the water by the time they got there.

Glad everyone was ok....what a crazy weekend  :o

Finally got back to a computer to check the latest ...

Glad to hear no one got hurt this weekend.  I had enough problems this weekend without coming home to findout someone got hurt.

It was cool to meet some of the people from the site at AVI, but that was just the beginning.  My wife fell off the boat and tore her suit (had to drive back to Needles to change).  Later got the ignition wet and sucked a sh** load of rocks into the grate (pump stopped pumping and the engine started getting hot).  Luckily I was close to my camp in Needles.  Caught a ride back to AVI to get the truck & trailer so I could get the boat out of the water to clean out the rocks.  Lets see, what else happened?  oh yea, my daughter slipped trying to get back into the boat and gave herself a fat lip.   :'(

But with all the S**T that happened this weekend we had a good time and are looking forward doing it again (somewhere else?).  This was the first time for me on the river in the Laughlin/Needles area and I liked the mostly flat water.  Just need more ponies for the BBC  >:D

i finally just read this....wtf was up with this weekend.....way too many incidents....

at one point in the day on saturday....i asked myself "where did crewchief go? hope we didnt offended him or something?!" .....you just got there and then you were gone for the rest of the day....didnt get a chance to check out that boat of yours....sure looked good.

Didn't mean to ditch you guys, would have liked to hang out and B.S. a little.  I want to do it again soon (maybe Parker or Blythe this time) :D.

I totally forgot to mention that I also dropped my phone into the drink at AVI  :'(

Man, I'm glad that weekend is over
