Re: M_Boats: Montgomery Boats Manufacturer's Cup Race!
Hey Gary, That would be fantastic! I don't have anyone else from the Washington DC area yet, but maybe you can get that trend started! We do have one fella towing a West Wight Potter from Pennsylvania though! Vegas is definitely the place to fly into. It is only a 2.5 hour drive from Vegas to Lake Havasu. I will already be making an airport run to Las Vegas to pick up my good buddy, Larry Yake, who will be flying in for the week. I will also be taking him back at the conclusion of the event. If you were to coordinate your arrival times pretty close I could certainly pick you up as well. If we get enough folks coming an I need to, I could rent a 15 passenger van from Hertz, Budget, whatever ...and grab the whole lot of ya. Let me know. We are going to have a fantastic time. I would love to have you and as many others out there that can make it attend. The more folks that attend the better the event gets. When we go sponsor shopping, numbers talk. I am trying to convince more sponsors to actually attend the event and to show and demo their products in person. Again, numbers talk. So not only will it be a fun deal for you and your buddies to come, but it makes it a better event for everyone! As any sailor knows, I can't guarantee the what the wind will be. But, I can guarantee this. You will meet one of the finest, friendliest, most diverse group of people you could ever imagine and will leave here having made sailing friends from literally across North America. The people I have met through this and other sailing events like this have truly changed my life for the better. We can stuff 15 passengers in a van. If I need to we'll get two...three, or however many we need to get. Of course we can get you guys the same great hotel rates, and in fact, the London Bridge Resort has some beautiful two bedroom suites with kitchenettes and Living rooms that if shared by two people splitting the cost, work out cheaper than the 1 bedroom suites. Anyone else interested? Let's get this thing going! C'mon and join us. If you can get yourselves to Vegas on the same day, I'll arrange getting you here and back to Vegas as a group at the beginning and end of the event. Heck, fly into Vegas a day or two early with your sweetheart and take in a show before coming to Havasu. Maybe while you are here if you want a break from the event you can rent a car, grab the wife, and take a side trip to the Grand Canyon, Oatman (living ghost town), take a Segway tour of the town, fly in an antique Stearman Biplane, take a jet boat tour of the Topock Gorge,Hike ,golf, or just relax in luxury resort style. There is a fireworks convention in town that week also with a spectacular display that will take place on Saturday night as well as a "Rockabilly Festival" if you are into old cars, slicked back hair and rock and roll. If you guys are interested in doing this I'll put the word out through Trailer Sailor.com and a couple of other channels and see if we can get a group together. I'm game if you are! The only issue is that we need folks to arrive the same day if we are going to organize rides from Vegas to Havasu. Otherwise, the other option would be to rent a car in Vegas and drive yourself in. Think about it! Hope to see you here. Sean
