Already paid for a Vegas trip. But I'm not all that excited about sharing with 400,000 other people lol

Googled your address that you posted. How many boats and RVs do you have in that HUGE back yard. :yourock:

23 in the back forty and another 5 up by the house...not all mine...well, a couple are...

Do you know Tiny around the corner?

[CampbellCarl]

Do you know Tiny around the corner?

Just met him once maybe 12-15 years ago. Thought I had heard that he passed...maybe not, don't start any rumors.

[ChumpChange]

Still alive. Fixin up that park more and more every day.

[CampbellCarl]

I knew that he had Tiny's Auto in behind the RV park and I recall meeting an older woman that ran the RV park. Did she pass and Tiny bought the property?

She (the older RV park owner) had some old pix of past movie stars that she was related to.....like that big boobed, red headed star that played opposite John Wayne in McLintock...can't recall her name.

Very cool old Victorian home sits in the middle of all of that.

[CampbellCarl]

How would you know Tiny or this part of the world?

Yeah, I'm thinking that Vic missed the "3" in "31st" and thought that it was NYE weekend. I sent him a PM asking the same thing.

I'm pretty sure, that's what's going on, he thinks it's New Years weekend.

My reach and knowledge is far. :D Know your area very well with many clients current and past. Friends with your city manager as well.

Wish in one hand, shit in the other and let us know which one fills up first....

Just think of it in terms of albums or if you're old enough, how many casettes or 8-tracks the drive would be.

:D

[2manymustangs]

Carl, I wish I could give you a firm YES for 1 at this time but I can't... I'm a maybe at best... Sorry...

I'm not skeered of no 6.25 hour drive. :D I will check with the Boss and see what we have going on. I am 50 / 50 right now, but I will no for sure in the next week or so.

[K-034]

Hey Carl,

What time is this going to start, and what time should I show up with the boat ?

:thumb:

[rivergames]

I'm going to stop by Carl. Might grandpa might roll with me as well

Try for 10am with the boat. The GN meeting is at 10am then they join us at my place at noon.

Gives us some time to place the boats on the lawn while the GN guys plan their attack on the 2015 race season.

Thanks Carl, see you next week,

[CampbellCarl]

I don't plan to rent tables and chairs....if you plan to sit on anything other than the lawn...bring a folding chair.

Is you're grandpa the one I towed this week? Haha

Only a couple days away.
I'm going to try and make it.

[HB Vic]

Really am bummed that I can't make it.

I met Bob once. Other than his frank and forward comments here, I didn't get a chance to really talk to him. Would be nice to hear from others what I've heard in comments here and there, that he was a very good man.

[RogerThat99]

my probability is up to 90% that I am going.

[K-034]

We are heading out tonight going to stay at the Eason's tonight (wish me luck:buddies:) then I will see you guys tomorrow

[Mrs.K034]

My probability just dropped about 90%... Woke up sick. [emoji32]

I never had the privilege of meeting Bob in person but today I found out what a "Special Guy" he was to many of you. In a strange way I can say that I met Bob in Spirit. Carl it was a pleasure meeting and chatting with you and I just wanted to say that your "One Class Act"... Jim

[Mrs.K034]

https://vimeo.com/118406996 what a great celebration!! Thank you, Carl for opening your home for Bobby's goodbye!! Love you, Bobby. Great to see so many good people that he touched in so many ways.

Very nice indeed. He definitely had a lot of good friends. RIP Bob

[westair]

Very nice ..... wish I could've met him, seen him at the races many times but never seemed like the right time to bother him ....I'm in the same business he was and would've highly valued his opinion on a lot of things.

[2manymustangs]

I so wish that I could have been there with everyone... Sorry I couldn't make it...

Carl, thanks for stepping up and giving GN7 a very fitting send off, CandACE thanks for sharing the video, Ross thanks for the words...

Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............

[ChumpChange]

Very nice video!

Very cool opening your house Carl.

[CampbellCarl]

The circle boat race family is close and the Grand National family even closer. It's the damndest thing to see inside of the family. They take care of each other like no other sport I've been around. You need a propshaft? Here's my spare....you need a v-drive? Here's my spare. I guess that to have a great race you must have running boats so whatever you need to get on the water...all you need to do is ask.

It was my pleasure to host this deal for Bob. We had 5 GN boats on the lawn, 1 SE boat (all RaysonCrafts) and 3 collector cars. Guessing about 100+ folks for some beverages, tacos, laughs, stories and a couple of tears.

So long Bob, I'll see you at the finish line...

Carl

[76Bonneville]

Thank you for hosting Carl. I may have to put that sticker on my Comp Jet and take Bob for a ride.
That'll give him one more thing to give me shit about when I see him on the other side.

Carl. I want to say all jokes aside over the years of fun, you are one class act in my book and I am glad to know you. [emoji106]

Totally agree, he certainly is. Extremely generous of him to do this. And I don't think I've ever heard Carl speak poorly about anyone. Truly a pleasure to know people like him.

FIxed it for you... :spanks:

Carl, your a real peach... Can't wait to chill with you gents in a few weeks... :thumbsUp:

I do have some insight on the MOHO trans that I will share when we get a few minutes in Needles...

[RogerThat99]

Who here misses Campbell Carl and GN7? I didn't know GN7 except on the boards. I was pretty good friends with Carl. I'm a glad I got a chance to see him in the hospital before he passed. He passed about 30 minutes after I left.

RIP Carl. Old School Cool.

[HB Vic]

Carl was a good man. Really miss him.

GN7’s posts here were pretty wild lol.

I did meet him once at a Parker race. Seemed completely normal [emoji41]

Didn't know gn7 personally , although seen him at many races over the years and he made me laugh on the boards.

I miss them both, very different memories for Bob and Carl but all good for each

[2manymustangs]

Carl was a great guy and there was a lot about him that reminded me of my late brother... We had some good laughs while he and Armon were on "security patrol" ;)
How could you NOT love a smile/mug like this???

Bob GN7 and I did hit a rough patch as did most but that quickly faded from my memory, only good and fun memories remain...

I miss those guys too, always a good time to hang around them, Bob was walking dictionary when it came to engines and history of race boats, Carl was a cool calm guy just there to hang out RIP, to both of them

[Mrs.K034]

Wow, what a throw back. Carl was a great man from what I knew of him and fun to hang out with. Bobby on the other hand was not only a friend but also a historian of all things. I so enjoyed talking with him on the phone or at a race, we always had a great time talking and of course talking shit to each other. He talked some mean shit but he was always right. Miss you Bobby Graeff GN7. May they both RIP. ♥️
