Lake Norman Get Together 9/25

What started last month with Tim Benj and NY Joe wanting to come down and hang for a weekend and possibly do some fun testing, is apparently turning into a nice turnout. It'll be the weekend of 9/25 with some of the guys coming in on Friday. I apologize for not posting this several weeks ago, but everyone is of course invited. Thus far we've also got the Midwest represented with Johnny, Hollywood and Kurt (and hopefully Quinner as well) flying down, Mojo, Steve and Alan cruising down in Alan's Bounder RV and towing a boat, and Gary Blackburn is cruising down from Cincy. Hot "Lanta" is sending us Eric "Clarkebar" and his awesome Classic along with Tim Moorfoot and his SN, and Marty will hopefully have the Purple People Puller over from a few hours east of us. I believe i've heard of a few others making the trip as well and if anyone else is interested, please plan to stop on by. Just like last time, we might just have some fun. While all the beds have already been claimed, we have ample waterfront space for tents or another RV or two. There are also plenty of hotels nearby but that's not nearly as fun. In addition to a number of members' boats, we also hope to have a beautiful new 2010 409-Powered 230 from Race City Marine to demo for the day (unless it sells first). The address is 140 Stepaside Lane, Mooresville, NC 28117.   Just call me (704-451-5080) if you have any questions.       

Heck Marty, you can show up whatever time you like. You've been there and know your way around so show up and make yourself at home even if I'm not there. And since you're somewhat local, that makes you part of the management team. I'm planning to take Friday off and will be between the house, the shop, and the brewery........

I talked to the Clarkebar this morning about the Red/white caravan from hotlanta cruising in Thursday after work or early Fri morn. Depends on how things go. Marty we may just stop @ Reid's, crash there and await your arrival. I've got two tents that I can bring up for those flying in or someone who needs a roof since Pinkham hotel is full. Reid told me there's plenty of water in the lake for a bath so be sure to bring my soap-ona-rope.

Oh MAN! I wanna come down .......... the Tique's trailer is in a million pieces getting re-carpeted, painted, wired and hubs done. If I can get my act (and trailer) together.......... I'm so there!

Steve

Reid et al,
I'm planning on making this trip from Lexington, SC. Leaving my family at home, but may bring a redneck with me if ya'll promise to make fun of him. He's not really a boat guy, but like Donald, he's very skilled at keeping beer cold and testing every other one or so for quality control. I'll be bringing my 88 and a tent.

Thanks for putting this together. Really appreciate the invite and looking forward to getting together with the CCFan folks again.

Now come on...what could possibly go wrong?

I have to coach a soccer game saturday. If it is early enough I will cruise on down with the skier afterward. I really cant miss the first game!

Oh yeah...I am all over this. Talked yesterday to Reid and Moorfoot. Still remember this weekend a couple years ago when we had the pleasure of meeting you 2 amigos. What a blast the was. Thanks Larry for posting some of the pics...can't find mine. Anyone who makes this event will not be disappointed.
Kinda short notice but I am trying to work something out. Probably without Patti.
Would be a great weekend for Moorfoot to start living up to his name! Lots of good teachers gonna be there. An Allstar crew!

Well.......hate to bring this up but..one of our campers at the first Lake Norman shindig DID have a small problem with the law. Statue of limitations must be up 'cause I just heard from his buddy from KY that our scoflaw was planning on coming back.

I got Karen covered on the barefoot lessons...



Patti footing on the boom...albeit a few years ago. Probably late 80's.

Think the cat will mind my post about last time there? LOL!
