Alright, turn out is looking pretty good so far. Now let's get some official pre-registration going. I've attached an entry blank that you can open and type in your info. Then all you have to do is e-mail it back to me at aimiep19@verizon.net. Just put Tabor Entry Blank in the subject line and attach it. Make sure you let me know who you are. This is always a great help. If you're not so computer savvy, let me know and I'll try to figure something out. The more I get in early, the easier it will be to make a schedule and be organised and ready to race on time!!!

[Tim Weber]

I'll be there with my normal pointy nose stuff.

[aimiep19]

Just got a few more entry blanks. I love you people!!!! Thanks Herb Lanphear and Dave Augustine. For everyone who has not preregistered...please try to get it in. Otherwise, I am going to try to have it set up for a while on Friday. Anything we all can do to make it not as hectic on Saturday morning is great.

Ryan, can I get your entry blank for PS? Nevermind I'll just peel off a bud label.

Also, Howie, Can you put me down for scoring for every set, ha ha! I do wish I could do patrol boat once though.

One more week. Can't wait to see everyone.

[Howie Nichols]

Can you put me down for scoring for every set, ha ha! I do wish I could do patrol boat once though.

You can't score from the patrol boat?????? Hmm gotta talk to Gary.....

Thanks George and Chris. Obviously patrol boats will be manned first, then probably helpers for Aimee if she needs it, then Inspection.

[Jerry Davids]

Howie, I sent in my Ref. test this week and if it's ok with you I would like to spend a little time on the stand with ya'll. I know it's a little late to get on the sanction but I can be your B..ch for the weekend, (or until you throw me out). Thanks Jerry

[Hydroglobe17J]

Aimie, Who won the date last fall? Seems your club is always really trying! We are great full.

[ebss011]

You can camp to the back side of the pits right? And Ill go in one of the turn boats in the fourth set!!!!! Dustin

[aojesus]

Howie,
Amy (my Amy F132) is interested in all the scoring/flagging jobs you want to give her. She loves working the stand.
Unless something unexpected happens we should roll in around noon Friday.

[PAUL PRICE]

Austin will do flags 3rd set , Paul can patrol boat 3rd set

[burl11]

I have a boat in every set:
BSH
250CCMH
20SSH
350CCMH

But I will drop out of a class that doesn't need my boat to make a field, and work patrol boat. I ran 8 heats one day at Rainbow City and decided I may be too old for that anyway. Nicki is coming also, and can help at the stand.

[Howie Nichols]

Thank you to all the volunteers so far, who else will step up and help??? Still have lots of open spots.......

[rball82]

Howie, I will do patrol boat Saturday set #3. Will do more if I do not have motor back from repair. Say it isn't so!

[Bill Huson]

The Boss has decided to have our hardwood floors refinished, so *if* the job gets done, and *if* I can haul all the furniture back in place, then *maybe* I can scoot on down to Tabor City where I can do whatever the race committee requires. *If* I get all this stuff done early enough, I could also bring the "Naughty Lady" for patrol duty if all y'all think you'll need her.

"All y'all" - I'm learning the lingo, Steve

[Matt Dagostino]

The Boss has decided to have our hardwood floors refinished, so *if* the job gets done, and *if* I can haul all the furniture back in place, then *maybe* I can scoot on down to Tabor City w

Tell Miss Linda the hardwood floors can wait till AFTER Taber City!! Grow a spine dude!!

[Bill Huson]

Tell Miss Linda the hardwood floors can wait till AFTER Taber City!! Grow a spine dude!!

The Captain

A spine I got - it's a lack of kitchen pass points. Used them all up getting my wood boats ready for the 2010 Wooden Boat Show in Beaufort, NC.

Me: Hey, Sweets, my pretty cedar strip dinghy won Best of Show!

Sweets: Oh . . . how nice. Floor man's coming Monday. We have to figure out where to move all this furniture.

And there went my 15 seconds of fame - swoosh!

[Howie Nichols]

Who else is coming?? Still need patrol boat volunteers....

[Hunt Leavitt]

Howie, I am planning to be there Sunday and will be glad to take a turn at patrol boat duty. I'm no longer an APBA member but have paid my dues in patrol boats many times. Sign me up.

I will be there with 750mh and 850mh ...~Cynthia ~

[aojesus]

Amy had a great day in the runabout today so she will be racing her J hydro and J runabout.

[Howie Nichols]

Hunt we look forward to seeing you back at the races!!

Bill H., no excuses, with only 2 races scheduled in the NC/SC area you better be at this one, plenty of time to finish that honey do list up the following weekend!

Patrol Boat list isn't filling up very fast...... :soapbox:

[M721son]

Howie, Me and TJ will be available to help. We can't pull out of here untill late Friday due to School Testing but will be glad to help once we get setup and signed in.
Jerry Oberlin

[Bob Dunlap]

I can work the first flight Howie. Should be a great weekend. Look forward to seeing everybody there.

[LANPHEAR]

I would be happy to help with the first flight on Sat. Thanks Herb

[rball82]

Howie, I will do patrol boat Saturday set #3. Will do more if I do not have motor back from repair. Say it isn't so!

We have a motor now, back to racing!:pullhair:

[caphowie]

Howie, I'll be there with Big Dave, and will help where needed, however I'm a referee and would prefer to be over at the judges stand. I need the experience and can learn a lot from you OLDER guys. John Howard Wilmington Delaware. (just down the road from the jennings)

[Howie Nichols]

Thanks everyone keep signing up! See everyone on Saturday.

[csh2z]

I'm not sure I'll be there or not. I was out of work for two weeks (no pay for two weeks) after another heart attack on the drive home from Millville.

[14J]

Geez John, put down the sausage. Get well!

Hey John,

I hope you are doing ok, I haven’t seen you in a few years now, take it easy and put your heath first.

[Howie Nichols]

Troy it's the ice cream not sausage :)

John,
That was 2 weeks ago plenty of time to heal! Just kidding, hope you feel better, get well soon!

Dan - Maybe you should make the ride down to replace John, its not that far from you.........

Hey Howie,

I plan on coming out around mid summer to help out any way I can. Right now Im still suffering from the lack of a bail out :-)

[roperz111]

John,

WILL YOU STOP HAVING THOSE!!! YOU'RE SCARIN' THE H*LL OUTTA ME!!

Get well soon buddy!!

Chris

[csh2z]

I'm back at work now and doing fine. Physically ready to race or anything else I normally would do. Financially though is a different story. Hopefully I can at least bring the boats and put somebody in them. The only thing I can't handle as of right now is money for entry fee.

Rich Runne just called me, said he would cover your entries for the season. I'll buy the ice cream and sausage.

[fred tyson]

hey guys, wish you luck on the water there, rode by there last Saturday on my Harley, water looked like the Old Elizabeth City conditions---rough... Have Fun

John,

Sorry to hear you had another heart attack, and hope that's the last one!

Hope to see you this weekend. If you can't make it, please check your PM. I sent you one a few days ago requesting your expert opinion.

Thanks for all your help,

[aojesus]

Still can't find a motel that will let my dog in. Campground is booked with scouts. Hope there is room in the pits.

[Howie Nichols]

Russ,
There should be plenty of room in the pits for you to camp out.

Schedules are printed and ready to go, they are printed as published earlier in the thread. Be thinking of which set or sets you can do patrol boat duty in if you haven't already done so.

[DUNN RACING 10-Z]

Just got off the phone with Allen, the caretaker at Tabor Lake he said the water has been slick the whole week. The forecast is for good weather thru the weekend. Come on down or up for a good weekend of short course racing. Harris Willard is catering the Saturday night party. Should be some good food. CVRA needs every boat we can get to keep this race site. If we have a poor turn out this race will probably be Dunn, no pun intended. Thanks in advance, Steve/ broke all to pieces 10-Z

[Danny Pigott]

Come Folks ,we don't want to lose this site. We need R 5 and R3 support. If we lose this site we can only blame the racers. in my 50 years of racing, i have been to too many last race at this site races, it does not feel good to know this will be the last race you will go to at a site.I know we can get more racers to come support this race. I know most people are short on money, so am i with Jesup only two weeks away, but lets do the best we can to save Tabor City.

[aimiep19]

Ok, guys and gals, it's Thursday night. Last call for e-mailing me your entry blanks! I'll probably be up late packing among a million other things I need to do. I've printed all the entry blanks I've received so far. I will check my e-mail before I go to sleep tonight around 2 a.m. and then I'll be on the road. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow and/or Saturday. I've attached the entry blank on more time in case anyone missed it. Let's go racing boys!

[aojesus]

We left the pits early afternoon Friday and it was filling up. Beautiful site with great ramps.

The Rock was pit boss yesterday.

A few teams made the trip from Florida.

We will try to post some stuff tonight after the races.

15 hours to make a 9 hour drive, 3 new tires, 2 new wheels, changing tires on the roadside.....You gotta love this game!

[fred tyson]

Matt

Matt,really miss all of you, but just not enough racing left now, staerted to buy a new VRP350 and a 250 powerhead and Gary Pugh was going to build me a boat last year, but just no PRO races left that are not a million miles away, yep we did have alot of fun thru the years

[Tom Cronk]

Russ
Do you have any pictures and results of
Sat's races????????
Tom

[aojesus]

It is 5:45 Monday morning and we just got home. The only pictures we have are pit shots. Amy may post them later. The only results I know are as follows....
Amy Waterson 2nd & 3rd JR, 4th JH
Joe Waterson 3rd JH, 3rd AXR
Abby Pond 1st ASH Sunday
Jerry Davids won several
Matt Dagostino won about everything he touched
George Stillwill won several classes
Becky Nichols won several classes
Tim Webber swept CSR Sunday
Walker/Harrel won 25R Saturday

We killed 2 out of 3 of our OMC's and 1 gear case.

Amy's Racecraft started sinking at the ramp after the 2nd heat of JH Saturday. I'll have to see if we have an extra J hydro in the shed.

Thanks to the crew who put this race on.
Abby and Aimie,...Your Dad should be more than pleased at how you two grabbed the ball and kept running! Our prayers are with the Pond family!

[Matt Dagostino]

Taber City (near Myrtle Beach, SC) did not disapoint with 90 degrees and sun all weekend! The pig pickin was also great Saturday night!

Nice to see Gary Romberg and grandson getting ready for the J Class wars and several Florida crews up for the weekend. Our club is thin but we put together a nice race weekend thanks to all the hard work of CVRA members.

Taber City is the Bristol of Outboard racing. Short course racing at it's best.

We missed you TROY...........hope you got all the mulching done!:rolleyes:

Matt

[AmyF132]

These are all pits.:pepsi:

[AmyF132]

some more:pepsi:

There were a lot more boats but I did not have time to take too many pictures.

[burl11]

Gary,

It takes four men and a boy to fill your place when you can't be there!

[Bob Dunlap]

Tom looks like 5 to me!

[Bob Dunlap]

here's a few more

[sam]

Taber City is the Bristol of Outboard racing. Short course racing at it's best.

How short is "short"? How does it compare to Denton? A lot longer or a little bit longer?

[ebss011]

Great Race!

Sorry for the delay guys. I'm still exhausted and can't seem to catch up on anything around here. This rain here is killing me and I still haven't even unloaded my truck. Thank goodness for computers and zip-drives.

[rball82]

Did anyone happen to pickup a pair of black Life Line cut pants? May have been left on ramp or bleachers as we were last class to run.

[aimiep19]

Mark, they were left on the bleachers and placed in Steve Dunn's trailor. We didn't know who's they were. I'm glad they've been claimed!

Aimie,

Check the Sunday results for 20SSH. Should third place be "1-K"?

Great job by the Pond ladies for their hard work and leadership!

[burl11]

A little fatherly coaching going on; perhaps some tips on how to get ahead of George Stillwill.

[aimiep19]

Ok. I've gotten a lot done today reviewing these race results and calculating the money received.

First of all, I need to make a change to the final results in AXSH for Saturdays final results. 1st(32E) and 4th(F131) has not changed. However, after double checking the scoring programs calculations I found that on time 2nd goes to 14F and 3rd is 26Z. Sorry about the confusion.

Also, thanks to Tom's sharp eye 3rd place in the 20SSH final on Sunday should read 1K. I'm actually surprised that was the only typo found so far.

After counting and recounting the money a few times and calculating where everything went. I believe we might have actually come out on the positive side for this race. On that note, thanks to everyone who showed up to support CVRA and region 4. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves and had a great time!

[aojesus]

Aimie,
Very glad to hear things were successful. Amy loved her time on the judges stand with you guys.
Thanks again Aimie, Abby, Jerry, Steve, Jimmy, Mrs. Burwinkle, Mr. & Mrs. Augustine, and all who helped this event take place.

[Howie Nichols]

A little fatherly coaching going on; perhaps some tips on how to get ahead of George Stillwill.

She looks like she is paying attention well doesn't she....:beatdeadhorse: :)

[Bill Huson]

How short is "short"? How does it compare to Denton? A lot longer or a little bit longer?

Denton was unique RE short, great racing there! Tabor City is sort of between Denton and Camden short. Short enough to create great racing! Instead of who has the $$$ and time to check out two dozen long course wheels, and pack a lunch for those Wakefield, MI size straights *yawn*.

[sam]

Thanks Bill. Its just a little too far for us to travel during the school year. We may go sometime in the future, my brother lives about an hour away in Supply NC and we could combine the visit.

[Matt Dagostino]

Denton was unique RE short, great racing there! Tabor City is sort of between Denton and Camden short. Short enough to create great racing! Instead of who has the $$$ and time to check out two dozen long course wheels, and pack a lunch for those Wakefield, MI size straights *yawn*.

Looks like the Hardwood Floors won out over Taber City! We missed you and the Lucky Lady! Hope the floors have a nice shine!:shucks:

[DUNN RACING 10-Z]

A little fatherly coaching going on; perhaps some tips on how to get ahead of George Stillwill.

I think it was Howie getting the coaching. Mr. Full Figured racer was looking pretty sporty out front in CSH. Maybe I'll try it. Steve 10-Z

[Bill Huson]

Thanks Bill. Its just a little too far for us to travel during the school year. We may go sometime in the future, my brother lives about an hour away in Supply NC and we could combine the visit.

I thought I was all done with the "school year" schedule mess, but nooo . . . Starting Monday my darling granddaughter will be double dipping, high school classes in the AM and college in the PM. I'm doing Mommy Van duty - eek!

Supply is close to Tabor City, just below Southport. Gotta watch it on weekends though - tiny road and beach traffic.
