Panama City Race Update (Pics added)

[PAIR-A-DICE]

Talked to Mike Young earlier and he gave me a little more information for the race.

Edgewater Beach Resorts is the host site and have set-up some special rates for the racers staying on site. Please call them or visit their website for specific details. Mike was quoted $79 per night for non-Gulf front rooms and $89 per night for Gulf-front rooms. For two or three bedroom units, please contact the resort. There are Golf Villas available across Front Beach Road with a bridge wide enough for golf cart or ATV traffic, if this would help anyone with transporting their skis and equipment.

Call (800) 874-8686. Mention Room Block # 6043 to get the racers discount.

So, who's going to make it?!? :biggthumpup:

[FLY6584]

I'm going to try and make it if there is going to be a decent Sport showing. I don't know if I am going to race or not, but we'll see.

How far is the race site from Tyndall AFB? If I were to go I would be staying there.

Thanks,

[vomitspot]

It's about thirty to forty minutes to Tyndall from the race site, depending on traffic.

Gonna try to get in touch with Jimmy tomorrow...if he comes so am i hopefully

[PAIR-A-DICE]

I was going to ask you how the billeting rates were---there are probably a few hotels close by that will give a slightly better rate, but the Resort has ALOT of amenities that you shouldn't overlook, i.e. restaurants, bar, pool, hot tubs, nearby attractions.

[FLY6584]

why not!!!!!!!!!!!

Well for one thing the ski isn't stock anymore. Footholds are in, B-pipe is on the way, and a head and prop should be coming soon.:biggrin:

Not to mention I can't run bouys on my sj for sh*t. Now if I had Yamacats sj with the hull extensions, long ride plate, and deep scoop grate that would be another story. I rode that thing at Smith Lake and damn it didn't even feel like a superjet. Felt like a smaller SXR.:biggrin:

If Lee (godocgo) is going and doesn't mind me riding his limited B1 I might race. Rumor has it Tim Judge will be racing a blaster in Panama City:sneaky: . It would be pretty cool to race against one of the sport class legends even if all I'd see is his back.:biggrin:

[Big Kahuna]

Lee is not coming, dont think Dan (Waterworx) is either........ you could race your SJ in Beginner Open or Amature Open, one of those classes....... or heck, If nobody is on my SXR then you are welcome to race it!

[FLY6584]

Dude I would, but I'd be afraid of smacking up your SXR. Not too comfortable on one yet. Thanks for the offer though.

If someone's got a blaster they are not racing I'd love to get another blaster on the line:biggthumpup:

[Waste Land]

You can race beginner OPEN do it. Also SXRs are easy to fill for. I raced one in tupelo.....it was my 2nd time ever riding a SXR. Had it down by lap 2

[JetskiMobile1]

We are arriving on Friday. I think we got a 3 bedroom at the resort for 171.00 suppose to sleep 8 adults.

Donald is ready to have some fun. To bad the whole Nashville Junior crew isnt coming. They had a blast together.

[All Stock]

How much is it to race? Who would I need to sign up with? I might drag the Octane instead of the SJ.

Anyone got a helmet and goggles I can barrow?

[All Stock]

Cool. I am thinking about getting one of the Fly helmets. I need one for trying stupid stuff in the surf anyway.

I have no clue what Parr wants to do. He is kind of wishy-washy. I told him I could bring the Jeep (25-28mpg with trailer) if he wanted.

We will see. I am not even sure I want to race, just thinking...

Chick doesn't roll. :rolleyes: I think he's past the age limit. I still can't roll flat but I'm just starting to roll in the surf. Can't you summon some waves for us?

[PAIR-A-DICE]

hm, I think he has you beat by about 2 years...............

Yeah, kinda. I got real aggressive for one season and pulled a few, but never got the knack of riding them out. (I landed on my back alot at first.) After that I busted myself up a few times and have really slacked on even trying them lately. This is just the motivation I need, though---if ole' big head can do them, I know I can. :biggrin:

When is it.......

[Big Kahuna]

this weekend.

[JetskiMobile1]

Surf would be good. See if Donald can hold on to the limited in rough water. He is also bringing the superjet and he has not ridden it in surf at all. This could be funny. We may need a tow rope for when he sinks it.....

[Jr.]

Tell Donald to bring the SJ & get there early friday..............
Once we get the course set, It's play time!!!!!

(I might even get him to enter the weekends freestyle comp :fingersx: )

[Big Kahuna]

yeah, been ragging him about Freestyle............ Plus trying to talk that old grouch of his to race!!!!!!!!!!!! I think there will be a Gimp class this time!!!!!!

[MILF]

Okay...... Harrison...... Does Megan get to ride in Juniors still or does she go to Beginner????

What's the verdict on this one?

[vomitspot]

gimp class hell im in !
classifications: old , out of shape , know better, ect

[Big Kahuna]

Okay...... Harrison...... Does Megan get to ride in Juniors still or does she go to Beginner????

What's the verdict on this one?

technically she can do what she wants now...... does you want to finish up her points for Juniors?????? honestly, not sure about beginners, she is not a beginner!!!!!!!!!! Novice Ski Womens!!!!!!!!!

Or give it a shot at beginners next year!!!!!!!!!!


Training Training Training!!!!!!!

[RadRat]

If she raced beginner more than 3 times this year then technically she cant race beginnger and if shes over 15 then she cant race juniors..

the proper class would be womens novice however does surf n turf even offer that??? Id be willing to bet there would be alot more women racing if there was a class for them

[Big Kahuna]

She would be allowed to race as a Junior since she has raced it all season......

But, I say step up to Novice.............


If she does, then it would be Autumn vs. Megan..........

[Tiny]

Just heard that there will be another old timer racing in Mens ski class....

Big Bad Bo Dupriest is bringing up his SXR and is supposed to race....:woot:

[Waste Land]

Anyone coming near or down I65 or just plain near NW AL? I'm looking for 2 people spots and 1 jetski spot.

We just dont have the funds to make this trip alone but are willing to help out with gas and such. Hit me up if you know anything

[IceRocket1286]

megan can race juniors if thats what she was in this year, going to beginner is like going backwards. race beginner and novice

[autumn]

She would be allowed to race as a Junior since she has raced it all season......

But, I say step up to Novice.............


If she does, then it would be Autumn vs. Megan..........

i wish region 7 had a big womens class....every time i raced region 6 there were 5 or more girls in my class with 10-12 girls in my moto....are there any other girls out there who wanna race??? please come out!!!!


which class would i be combined with if i would raced womens? i know at can-am cup last year they put me with beginners mens...and i smoked luke's brother, hahahaha, just had to slip that in there some how!!!! hahahaha

hahahhaha. shhhhh. yeah, the womens classes have been lacking this year, even up here in 6. quite frankly it sucked. My sister is gonna be in novice womens this year, im excited to see how she does. she should rip!

callin all girls eh autumn?

edit: if this race in panama is for 2007 high points, megan should race novice, because in 2007 she will not be a junior, therefore she will obtain useless points by racing juniors right now. I dont think a juniors points wil carry over to 2007 if they cant race in it throughout 2007. This is just akward because this race is after havasu, but for the same season. technically megan cant race juniors for the 2007 season cuz of her age, so her points as a junior in panama would be "useless" i cant think of a better word. race novice and accumulate points for the 07 season! i hope someone understands that lol

[RadRat]

womens class where ya at?! :question:

:icon16:

[JetskiMobile1]

I would say I have to agree with Megan not racing Junior even though she could if she wanted.

She already has 2nd in SUrf & Turf Series locked up.

If she moves up a class she will aquire points towards 2007 high points.

I am not sure if she could run beginner next year or not given she race this season as Junior and could not be classed as a Beginner then. At a regional level she may could do it but if anyone ever pushed it she might get bumped out.

Olnly problem now is, Donald may be the only 13-15 Junior racing. Who is he going to mix with? I guess maybe mix hos 2 class' with the Novice class.


I don't think we will be able to get there and ride to early on Friday. He has missed several days of school this year racing already even though his principal did excuse all 6 days he missed for WF's.

hmmmm they could both race Junior and Novice!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vomitspot]

donald can beat the novice riders mix him w expert

[JetskiMobile1]

hmmmm they could both race Junior and Novice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Donald can not run Novice yet, he is only 15. We ask last year about him running Novice some and was told that if the APBA saw him registered in both Junior & Novice they could strip his Junior status & points. They also said he could not move up until he was 16. If he turns 16 mid season he can then move up to Novice and still run Junior the rest of a season as Jake Zier did this year. Donald will not be 16 until August '07 so he can step up at Nashville next year.

Now if a promoter decideds to mix his class with the Novice or Expert as has been done sometimes, then he technically is not racing them and it is OK. Then he is just racing for bragging rights.

[MILF]

I did sign Megan up for Beginner since I thought that racing Juniors was worthless in points...... I can change her when we get there on Thursday! Now I am not sure she can race Begginer since she raced all season in Juniors!

There is no Novice Women's and I cannot see her racing against Harrison, etc in Novice Stock.....What the heck do I do now?

No, he turned 15 in August. His race number 891= August '91

It worked out good that the first year the 13-15 class was created he was 13 so next year will be his 3rd year in that class.

Looks like they are calling for 2-4' on Saturday.

To quote Skinnyman "Pray for Surf!"

[GDFL]

The surf forecast is confusing. Looking at wavewatch for the florida gulf coast, it looks freaking huge and says it'll be clean near shore, but it doesn't say specifically which part of the coast. Probably not the part we'll be at. So long as there is at least a little to play in we'll have fun.

[All Stock]

I won't complain. This will be the prettiest salt water I have ever had my ski in.

Ski is obehind the Jeep at work, just wating on time to leave.

A STRONG NORTHEAST/OFFSHORE FLOW SCHEDULED THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. NO INDICATIONS OF ANY SWELL PRODUCING FETCH AIMED TOWARDS FLORIDA'S WEST COAST. A CALMER PATTERN TO FOLLOW WITH NO SWELL INDICATED.

NORTHEAST winds are bad for panhandle surf.

[yamaslut]

we will have 30mph winds tomorrow on the right coast, 20 sunday..
It will be a mess

BTW: Congrats on 3rd/4th..I didn't even know you do freestyle comps.

[yamaslut]

congrats to Ratti Parr, Stoyer.....

Nice job guys :biggthumpup: ... anyone get any pics?

[Big Kahuna]

Ronny should get them posted up in the next day or so, My wife may have taken some, I know Chick was taking alot also.....

[Big Kahuna]

yeah, sunday afternoon it really started building, Parr and Stoyer went for some backy's, but it was really shallow out there in places!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PAIR-A-DICE]

Nice job guys :biggthumpup: ... anyone get any pics?

I would have had pics up last night, but I left my camera at the race site in my trailer. :banghead:

I will post them later today. :cool2:

BTW, for those of you who don't know----Harrison is rolling big, now. I was impressed enough at Nashville with his flatwater roll, but he stepped up his game on Saturday and Sunday with his rolls in the surf. He threw one during Sunday's comp that was HUGE. :cheer:

Great job Harrison!!! :biggthumpup:

Harrison was the first person I ever saw doing nose stabs (in person and not in video). Orange Beach about 5 years ago maybe... That's pretty much when I decided that I needed to buy a superjet...

I got pics but not happy with the results. We had sunshine behind the riders ALL DAY BOTH DAYS! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I am paying for doing the Roll Fest!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sore!!!!!!!! But worth it!

[Sanford]

This means we had the shadow side of the riders on the side of the cameras. Its nice to have the sun behind the camera. :banghead:I hear ya. However, I only shoot in RAW and allows post processing to bring some spice back to a flat or blown out picture.

If it was due to some blur (shutter speed under 1/125), then I usually bump the ISO to 400 minimum (ISO800 if needed).

If the riders have their backs to the sun, pull a spot meter on the face/body and shoot in "M" (manual). You risk blowing out the bright background but this can be very easily corrected if shooting in RAW.

:hail: RAW, RAW, RAW :hail:

The funny thing is how he did it. It wasn't a nose stab or anything like you'd expect. He was doing a power 360 and just drove it into the bottom. No air involved.

Cool pics. Was Donald helping announce?

[vomitspot]

he was judging freestyle and stoyer stuck a mic in his hand they raped alittle not much but he kicked ass on the race course ! dominated every race !

[PAIR-A-DICE]

great pics.. was anyone taping the freestyle runs by any chance?

(anyone who would upload/post on here?)

I'm not sure if anyone did. Chris with Nascency could not make it---I'm sure he was busy preparing for his premiere next weekend.

I don't recall seeing many video recorders at all.

The event was small (as I expected) but Mike Young is trying to set-up a Spring Break race towards the end of March. Hopefully we'll see 150-200 competitors at this one. In fact, I spoke with two members of resort management this morning and they agreed they wanted us back.

Except for that one security guard. :sneaky:

Did that ever get resolved? I understand how they might not like the scooters (which really was very minimal) but that one guy was a douche bag.

Hell yeah!!! :arms:

I talked to his Dad for just a few minutes, late Saturday afternoon. Can't wait to see him competing in Freestyle next year. Region 7 is stacking up to be THE place for freestyle. I'm wanting to attend some of the Hot Water tour next year---I understand they have big plans for freestyle as well.

I know of three pro freestylers that will be competing next year from Region 7 and four if you count a certain engine builder that likes Surf events. :sneaky:

edit: Oh wait... yeah he said he raced Eric's ski...

I think he loved the power of that super stock also. May have to get Wade to build him one for '08. Planning ahead already

Great weekend. Definately worth the drive. Regoin 7 is so much better of an atmosphere than region 5. It was a lot of fun.

Next season, drive 5-6 hours for Texoma and maybe 1 person to compete against, or come see you guys in 7 and have some folks to show me how it is done. What to do???

[PAIR-A-DICE]

The security guard had an "issue" with my Polaris Ranger. He first warned Garrett when he used it to get from the beach to the resort area, something about ten different people had been doing all day Friday and all day Saturday---you know: bathroom runs, parts chaser, lunch getters, jet ski hauling, etc. etc.

Garrett tells me about his warning, I go back up there later to get something from my truck, the guard working the gate opens it up and I start to head in. Barney Fife pulls his golf cart in front of my Ranger and starts hollering at me for driving this thing in again. He then proceeds to tell me I cannot and will not drive that "golf cart" on property anymore. Now, mind you, by this time at least three four-wheelers have rolled thru the gate so I ask him why they are allowed and not my Ranger. He says that golf carts are not allowed on property and he is just enforcing the rules. I was literally laughing out loud when he said that. I told him that I was a sponsor of the event and that I didn't appreciate being treated this way---he was rude AND stupid. He told me that if I didn't comply with him he would call the police. I made a phone call to a friend of mine that is the Director of Engineering and explain to him what is going on. My friend asks me the Security Guards name over the phone so I ask the guy his name----he wasn't wearing any name badge----he yells back at me "What's your name?" I told him. He responded, "I don't have to tell you my name," and storms off to his bosses office. My friend is laughing on the phone because he figured out who this idiot is and tells me he'll try to make a few calls and resolve the issue. The Security supervisor and I speak on the phone (he even complimented my Ranger) and we agree that parts runs and such are necessary, but could we keep it to a minimum. No problem.

Fast-forward thirty minutes:

Jeremy Parr said he needs gas and could we also run to Burger King. Sure---no problem. Now I have Jeremy Parr, my daughter, Tiny, and Megan on my Ranger. We go thru the gate, see this jerk, and Jeremy and I make sure to spout off some sarcastic, "Hello, how you doing?" comments and tell him we're going to get "parts". We go get what we need at my truck and head back towards the gate to go get a chair from Harrison's Avalanche. Jeremy let's out a big, "WooHoo!!!" as we ride by Deputy Fife again. We stop at Harrison's vehicle and this tool comes racing up on his golf cart bitching to me again. I got all kinds of pissed when he threatened to call the Police again and grab my wallet and tell him to call the cops RIGHT NOW because I was sick of his ******** and that we obviously needed someone with some intelligence to diffuse the situation. I asked Jeremy to just go do what he needed to while I dealt with this idiot. As soon as they left, this moron tells me that he didn't appreciate the "cat-calling" that Jeremy was doing when we went by and that he doubted whether or not we even needed to get anything from the parking area. As soon as Jeremy left, I asked him if he was going to call the Police as he threatened---his reply was that it was no longer necessary since the Ranger was now off "my property." I just called my buddy again and updated him on the situation, he laughed some more and made some calls to straighten it out. By the end of the day they said you could only bring an ATV or "golf cart" in if you were towing a ski.

There---how's everyone like that foolish story. :biggrin:

[vomitspot]

I'm sure we can jack up a SJ beer cooler for the next race, so you can claim your always towing a ski....:Banane01: :Banane01: :Banane01:

[Big Kahuna]

Hey Chick, I got an idea............ Donate me Pats old hull, I will put all my stuff on it........... and we will strip my hull out........ attach my hull to a set of wheels and a hitch and use the hull as a trailer, place gas cans inside the engine compartment, chairs and such in the tray area!!!!!!!
WooHoo!!!!!!!!!1

i made a trip up with a ski np

I even had a "pass" given to me by on Friday and affixed to my roll bar.

Hey Chick, honestly, the probably need to dedicate which route should be taken for the quads, there were quads everywhere.......... I was one of them!!!!!!!!! LOL, but seriously, I dont think there was ever any issue with the guest but we need to be as invisible as possible.

We would have to keep the Ltd. The stocker would be the one to go away.

[GDFL]

The parking area is just too far away to be hand carrying all of the support equipment. How can you reasonably get a cooler, a couple gas cans, an ez up, some chairs, etc down to the water by hand? I hope they get it straightened out before next time.

I talked with Steve Bailey this morning who was Edgewater's main guy who helped Mike Young put this event together. It looks like we will move the ski and trailer parking to another location next time. We'll get it all sorted out. We discussed the ATV situation briefly beforehand, but no one made it a priority to secure a location that might have been more suitable.

[vomitspot]

that old geezer prob wont live through the next event

[Big Kahuna]

But where would it be moved too??? Across the street at the villas??? That would be even more of a cluster!

That security guard even stopped gary Hopkin's with that little truck he was using. Gary told him it was a licensed vehicle and not an ATV. The guard told him he would have to inspect it. What was the guard going to look for? Gary ask him if he was going to give him a mississippi vehical inspection sticker and laughed.
