Desert Storm or The Lucas Oil LODBRS in Chandler April 24-26?

[HB Vic]

I'm sure these two entities has no idea they scheduled their events the same weekend. Not sure it really matters much really, different crowd, different fans, different boats, and different reasons to attend each.

Although many of us enjoy both of these events, yours truly included.

Last year Hotboat.com had at least a presence at the Desert Storm Street Party (lol, like 200' worth). Looks like this year we will have exactly zero feet. A tough pill to swallow for me personally. But sometimes change is good :D

So this year it looks like we'll be at the drags in Chandler. Not sure how much of a physical presence I'll have, so it may just be my 6'3" fat ass running around taking pictures and passing out Koozies, T-Shirts, and stickers. On the other hand it's too soon to tell what I might drag over there. Planning, when it comes to boating or boating events, hasn't always been my strong suit. Did I just stay that outloud? lol

So for those NOT attending Desert Storm AND attending the Lucas Oil Drags, see you in Chandler next weekend :D

Kinda bummed I'm not going, but also looking forward to a change.

I love Desert Storm. I love the big fast boats. And I love boating. But change is always good.

Used to go and run it every year and then hit 2nd place. Figure lightning's not gonna strike twice there. Got to be more fun to sit and watch, but even then, got burned out. For the time and money, I'd really rather go to Mexico. Kind of over the lake boat thing.

Firebird is always a good time! Haven't been there for a while as life got in the way. Looking forward to getting out there and seeing what all Lucas has done as she needed some love. This weekend is up in the air for me... too much going on right now it seems.

Big fast boats. Was at GT this afternoon getting some work done and he sure has some big fast boats ready to go!

I'll be on the bay looking at some big boats but a different kind of fast.

Laughlin River Run must be hurting for vendors as they called the shop and offered to cover a space and rooms for the guys to show up and bring bikes. That's a first for them. In my opinion it's gone way downhill since the fight and the cops became way too involved and started harassing people in order to send a message that apparently bikers and bikes aren't welcome there. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out this year. :chopper:

Not to mention the town is like a ghost town now. Personally I think a lot of the reason is the loss of the SCE power plant. Brought a lot of jobs and revenue to that area.

That could do it as well. Getting to be too warm for the 'birds, may as well try and bring back the bikes. The tales of LEO's walking through stopped traffic and "pulling" bikes over and harassing them got to be all too common. Talking regular RUB's, not 1%'er types sporting full cuts.

Bump...

Good spot. Right by the food, beer and sometimes Porta Potties :fart:. The Spring Race is a little more low key than the Finals. Looking forward to getting up there.
