I'm assuming you're gonna rent at least a log boom spot. I told Susie we are gonna go just not sure if bringing the boat, the motorhome or just a day or two. We can get the RV all access/all weekend pass for 4 for $800.00 or so.Quote:

We were thinking of a log boom spot but not quite sure. We cant stay on our boat for 3 days unless we have a bathroom or something to eat.
Their facebook page is saying only 30 RV spots left.
Yea but aren't the RV spots like $600.00 for the weekend?Quote:

We will be in an RV for the weekend! Should be a great event!
Isn't Granite bay park alcohol free? Wouldn't it be enforced for this event?
Alcohol is allowed on boats as long as the boat isn't touching shore. I would think they would make an exception for this weekend and have vendors selling beer. If they don't it is going to a long, hot weekend. LOL.Quote:

Hey Hotboats is back? what the heck where was I? OK so this is very cool. So is the lake closed for this event? Or can I launch as normal on the back side Browns Ravine??? Thanks for any help on this- some off us dont have 800 bucks for the weekend! LOL..Quote:

Its a lot of info and I dont think I will post it all right now. But if someone needs info PM me and I will do my best to answer questions based on my conversation with Bob. Or obviously call him he is a cool guy.. Looks like we will get a camp site..
I'm thinking of getting one too. Wife has to work Memorial weekend so we'll probably do this event in stead as our christening trip for the summer season (though $750.00 is a bit to swallow).Quote:

My self the blue boat family and 1 Bad Dad will be there.we have a log boom spot. and a Rv spot and we will be showing my Dads Bad girl tunnel there too for the hole week end David over at Vintage jet boats has hooked us up big time see you all at the show or at the log boom we will be partying in a 23 ft. pearl white day cruzer with a 12 ft long purple Bimini top cant miss it
Hope you guys are ready! I work with the crewchief of the U5 driven by Jimmy Shane and they're looking forward to this race. The boats still in route back from Quatar where they had a ton of success and sounds like a number of teams are putting it on kill to get the season off right.. I'm a fan of the thunder boats but let me tell ya, these turbine bpats arw regoddamndiculas! Just wish I could make the run south to see the race. Have fun. When they trow them into the corner is really something to see......john
This event is going to be OFF THE HOOK. I hope HOTBOAT is going to be there!
There is still avail RV and log boom spots avail, the lake is open to any/all boaters as normal but you wont see much from behind the log boom regatta that will be setup. No launching from Granite Bay side this will be strictly for event boats and log boom ticket holders. If you want to get on the lake launch from Dike 8 or Browns Ravine on the opposite side and come on over!
General admission is to the beach area surrounding the Granite Bay Launch and its about $35 each day. No parking you will be shuttled in from parking offsite. There will be beer gardens and a midway with all kinds of stuff going on. Ski show, APBA cracker box races, California Speedboat Association Fly-bys.... (look for me there, Im gonna do the circuit!)
