We really need to move on from all the BS. It's old. The Enduro happened, I was there, everyone seemed to have a good time. I haven't heard many complaints. Everyone knows how everyone feels about it. But we've gotta get over it. Stop talking negative about the other site and the person that runs it. That is childish and WTF cares! Let's talk about Hotboat and boats, racing, events, positive things. Boat builds, what your plans are for the winter. The bashing needs to stop.

I need to get my boat sold so I can pick up a new to me Eliminator Daytona this Winter/Spring. I have a feeling I will be dropping my price here shortly so that I don't have to pay to store it over the winter. Someone buy my turn key boat....I will work you a smoking deal. Make me an offer.

We had a nice Sunday drive out to the Desert Bar.....the weather was perfect and we had some quality time with Friends. We woke up to whitecaps here on the lake this morning but all in all an awesome place to be :thumb:

Well that blows. Since we are testing Thurs, I was going to throw you in the cracker to make a few laps.

Maybe Sunday if time permits

Went to Calico Ghost Town last weekend, I was really cool all decorated up, the kids loved it. They had the "Headless Horseman" cruzing through the campground Saturday night, which creeped everyone out :cool

We also had an epic rock crawling trip through the canyons, sorry we forgot the camera :grumble

What was this thread about again ?

Hey Paul how's the Boat running ?

Hey Paul how's the Boat running ? We went one Halloween and had a blast. Our friends go every year with a large group camping up there. It's a fun place to take the kids.

I ran the 336 with Tim in the #7 STV. From racers point of view, it was a great race. Friday qualifying added another dimension and challenge to the weekend. Cash was awarded to the top qualifiers in each division at the Pig Roast at the Pirates Den's on Friday night. Scott handed me (and the other top qualifiers) $200 cash for the top Div II time in the #30 boat in front of a packed house. Unfortunately we also broke the transom out of the boat and the #30 was not able to race on Saturday.

I teamed with Tim and the #7 OCM team for the 336 Enduro race Saturday. Tim, from OCM Marine, is a highly talented offshore racers but new to closed course circle boats. We came up with strategy for the race including laps, driving, refueling, pitting etc. Luck fell our way and everything worked as planned from our starts, driving, pits, through to the finish of the race. The last few laps of the race were nail biters as the handicap was running out and the faster boats were closing in. Every minute gained on the coarse and holding it all together is what made the difference. River Dave handed us $2,500 cash at the awards ceremony and huge silver cup. He also handed us cash for the Division win but I lost track of the count at the bar buying drinks.

Hot Laps and OCM Marine did an incredible job rigging the boat in just a few days for this race... I would recommend them highly for high performance boating work. As you may have heard Tim bought the boat just last Tuesday and previously had no plans to run the race. Tim and team were top notch professionals and they are people of great character. Personally, it was a weekend I will remember for a lifetime.

Initially, I was conflicted about running the race due to promoter issues but at the end of the day, promoters promote, and racers race. Each is personal choice. Hope to see all of you at the Thanksgiving Regatta and supporting SCSC. I agree with the moderator... let's talk about Hotboat and boats, racing, events, positive things.

Boat is running good.....haven't had as much chance to run it as I'd like with all the work going on around the house.

We got our final from the City Friday so now I can do all the stuff I really want to do to finish up the remodel.

How's your's coming along???

3030 it's awesome that you came on here and gave us your feedback. We watched the race from a friends dock. It was a very good race and Congratulations to you and your team. We have some really good pictures of the #7 OCM team, you can see it the thread "My Enduro pics". Pretty cool they just bought the boatand raced it in the Enduro. They must really do great work to end up winning the race in just a few days of work. Congrats again. And we will definitely be at the Thanksgiving Regatta supporting SCSC... Thanks again for your feedback we truly appreciate it.:thumb:

Thank you very much as well for the great photos! I really appreciate the work you all do... I don't know you all by name but I see your crew at the races. The hotboat.com gang has also been incredibly friendly and helpful. I still have the microfiber cloth you gave me at the Thanksgiving Regatta last year Parker :) works great for cleaning the boat. I also have your decals on my trailer. As for the race, I also wanted to say how hard most of the race teams work to be as prepared as possible. Many racers spend a full year rigging their boats and like my project, sometimes things don't work and sometimes great things happen.

How's your's coming along???
Havasu,the old house is scraped, the Lot cut 12", pluming is in, foundation poured, rebar tied 12"x 12" mat for the Garage and poured a 5" slab, Lumber dropped today, framing starts tomorrow, Unisource replaced a pole today to bring the Primary in for a Pad Mounted Transformer, for my 325a service, other than that not too much :wink2:

YL, the Plans are back in the city, Eng. corrections, Fp structural is being drawn (our outdoor Fireplace is a fng Monument), Eng. Methane Mitigation Drwg's are in Orange County Fire Authority, the Lot is graded, Blue Toped, retaining walls completed, wall between the neighbors is completed, submitted a proposal/work request to SCE to move the neighborhood overhead service to underground and that's about it !!
Oh I forgot to mention I started a 800a service install for an Industrial Complex and rewire (4) Units all before the sun goes down today.

Nice. A couple of my buddies took their families out there for a nice 4x4 weekend. I saw some pics they posted on FB and it looked like a really good time.
Calico is a bitchen place to explore for sure.
