Loughman Spring Fling

The bird tower is dry and snake creek gets pretty dangerous with a lot of boat traffic. We'll probably have to set something up in loughman somewhere, probably somewhere along the east side.
 
Damn dane didn't see ya at the last obstacle course race my big azz 4cyl ride boat wasn't too far behind ya on the first time and I won the 2 one got a baby due anyday now hopefully not sat cuz i gotta put the ole blue upstack back out there an compete with some big boys LOL and see what she can do again
 
Well, whos gonna take the crown in skimz next weekend? Not much talkin goin on around here. Surely yall skimz boyz wont get beat on your own turf.
 
Man, hate to miss the Spring Fling, but looks like the recovery time is gonna be longer than I thought.. Y'all have fun, and please be safe... Will have to make the next one.. Will be home recovering.. Someone video tape the rodeo for me and post it up... Would love to see...

U comin to the glades all way from cocoa? Where ya guys putttin in at? I'll be out there all weekend , be great to meet up w some other forum members.
 
Probly late in the day unless they do it early, the obstacle course doesn't start til 2.... Skims chime in here were gonna be on yalls territory.
 
Like country said, obstacle course starts at 2, so whenever that ends we'll head on over to the after party spot and see what them race boats are all about. The track is set up in loughman lake, so it wont be a far ride at all. That way we dont have to go through snake creek with all the boat traffic.

Poles are set up on the east side of Laughman just north of the Bird tower and snake creek. Theres plenty of good parking along the shore line and a fair amount of shutdown area for the swamp dragsters.
 
Well I showed up late to the nigerian nationals and everyone was almost gone. Who was the top dawg??

I saw you racing another boat so I went around you guys and tried to come in behind the starting line to not get in the way, but I guess it didn't work like I wanted. Sorry. So in what order was the top 3?

I guess you said the top 3 already. :banghead: I need to make sure I drink coffee before posting. :D
 
There was some good races. But I must say its disappointing to watch people constantly drive out across the path of what you guys call a race track. I spent over 20 years drag racing and to watch everyone drive across the track is really insane. There were step hull boats running really fast and the wrong wake and it could be bad. I suggest you serious racers take a stand and get this problem fixed. People need to realize how dangerous this sport of racing is. I can tell you I would never even think of racing in such an atmosphere. Those of you not racing should never ever cross the track!!!! And after the race is over both boats should exit the racing area. If you decide to race again be patient wait your turn and don't race back up there causing more wake's. Sorry to sound like a safety freak but this needs to be addressed. There were some really nice and fast boats there and I hate to see someone get hurt. JMO

Steve, I just want to say I agree 100% with you and the racers safety is very important and more spectators need to be more respectful of this. I showed up late to the race and I saw Bruce and another boat racing so I stayed back to NOT create a wake for them or get in the path in the direction they were headed. I went the opposite way of them and came swung wide to come in behind the starting line. Bruce had turned around and back at the starting line and he was next to me before I knew it.
