ill go just for the Go-Karts

... Grayland is the only event I can attend, sorry.

I think Gerald will represent for Canada on this one.
KC triple 8 and I will attend North Beach.

I think all us Canadians wish we could have gotten down more. It has been a great cause and a good way for all of us in the Pacific NW to really gel !!!

:bigok:

depends on who is driving

coolbreeze (grant) goes like 150+ km all the way

tim drives at cruise control 140 and we got there in just over 5 hrs.

granted only takes longer if you leave after Grant and the accidents on I-5 .... hehehe

This must be some other Long Beach than the commonly known one in Los Angeles then. I did a google search to see if I was sheltered in some way and the whole first page was about LB CA. I can't get there in 5 hours..............on the ground that is.

you should come to grayland ... it will be the last event and im trying to get dino to come up either for that or SOBB

BeamerBob - 6-8-2010 at 09:06 AM

I did a campaign with the wife for Sobb and got a cold reception. When is the Grayland event?

Morrie Williams - 6-8-2010 at 03:37 PM

Grayland, WA will be Aug 28-30. It's a long ways for you for only 3 days. SOBB would be more worth the trip.

Ah Bobby, but cold does not mean no.

Wine, dinner, flowers, a little benadryl in the wine and she'll say yes! :lol:

Morrie Williams - 7-8-2010 at 07:44 AM

Based on the event registration, it looks like only Arkay, Kelci and I will be there.

Whoever is planning to be at the Long Beach, WA event on Aug 14-16, PLEASE register at http://www.napka.org//event_reg.php?Event_id=35.

buggeyed - 7-8-2010 at 09:33 AM

I'm registered now,thanks for the reminder.

RRR - 7-8-2010 at 08:08 PM

Morrie, Can I bring waiver and money for NAPPKA give it to Kelci on Sun.15, 2010??? Monty.:crazy:

Morrie Williams - 7-8-2010 at 08:49 PM

We can take the money, but the waiver still needs to go to Brad.
If you give the waiver to us, we'll probably just scan it and email it to Brad.

Morrie Williams - 11-8-2010 at 05:00 PM

I just got an approach report from Dave Colbert at Above It All Kites in Long Beach.

"Just got back from the beach and checking the approaches. Both are narrower than they have been in the past(single lane) but 227th(klipsan) is much rougher. I think the better of the two is Cranberry. It is smoother and less torn up all the way to the hard pack.".

How does that sound to everyone, shall we use the Cranberry Rd. approach?

buggeyed - 11-8-2010 at 06:17 PM

Cranberry sound good to me.I don't think we'll make it in time to buggy on Sat,so we'll see you there Sun. morning unless the location changes.

vwbrian - 12-8-2010 at 04:18 PM

I will be there on Sunday/ Monday. I will have to paypal my dues in.
