Hey all,

Let's try and get a good group over to Richmond next month to support Mario, Eddie, and the rest of the RRR group that came over for Speed Weekend. The trip is fairly low cost:

Ferry Round Trip: $60/person
Hotel (one night only): $50/person
Race Fees: $40/person

I will be taking my van over to this race as per usual, and Daryl will likely bring his truck. Together we can fit eight racers and gear very easily. We will leave on the 7AM ferry on Saturday Aug 4th, and return on the 7PM ferry on Sunday Aug 5th.

Please post here if you are interested so that I can setup a group block of rooms at the Accent Inn again.

Thanks,
Blake

dajracer · « **Reply #9 on:** July 16, 2012, 10:02:55 PM »

Blake's already counted me in, should be lots of room in the truck. Unless it ends up that we don't need all the vehicles. We'll see as the time gets closer.

Hi all,

I would like to call the Accent Inn tomorrow to reserve some rooms. Any others interested in coming over to Richmond for this race? So far it looks like we need four rooms. Let me know if you want to join in on the fun.

Thanks,
Blake

Falcon · « **Reply #15 on:** July 30, 2012, 03:09:50 PM »

So everyone getting ready for the big race.

Blake · « **Reply #16 on:** July 30, 2012, 04:24:19 PM »

I just booked us four rooms at the usual Accent Inn. Not sure what room-mate situation will be. How's this look?

Jody
Craig

Daryl
Blake

Gerry
JohnB

Thanks,
Blake

Falcon · « **Reply #18 on:** July 30, 2012, 05:21:16 PM »

Blake · « **Reply #19 on:** July 30, 2012, 05:42:01 PM »

Thanks dude.

PS. How many peppers are we going for at Earls?

Blake

Blake · « **Reply #20 on:** July 30, 2012, 05:44:41 PM »

Rob Fantetti:

Do you need to bring your own car? If not, it looks like we could get away with two vehicles instead of three. I understand if the little car is needed for shopping reasons....

Thanks,
Blake

Falcon · « **Reply #21 on:** July 30, 2012, 06:18:34 PM »

I say 18

dajracer · « **Reply #22 on:** July 30, 2012, 11:25:39 PM »

Rob is going over Thurs. and heading down to US for a couple of days first.

Blake · « **Reply #23 on:** July 31, 2012, 01:23:14 AM »

Ok sounds good. So for the rest of us, we have two drivers: Gerry and Daryl. Looks like we have room for one or two more racers if anyone else wants to come over for the weekend.

Blake

Falcon · « **Reply #24 on:** July 31, 2012, 01:29:48 AM »

Gerry

Pack up routine just give us direction.

gotnitro · « **Reply #25 on:** July 31, 2012, 09:21:42 AM »

John you and i will meet up friday evening and just need to know if craig and jodys stuff will be going in daryls truck as he has lots of room. then i could pick u up john saturday morning and if craig gets a ride with daryl as they live close together we can pick up jody. What do you guys think?

haddow · « **Reply #26 on:** July 31, 2012, 11:02:33 AM »

sounds good. I will get my stuff to Daryls and see you guys in the morning. I can walk down the road and meet you on the Pat Bay highway at Haliburton. What time will you collect me?

L8R

Jody

dajracer · « **Reply #27 on:** July 31, 2012, 01:06:08 PM »

Are we expected to bring the sprayer?
PS You guys eating all the peppers had better remember to bring your "butt p--gs". I don't want to have to put up with the after effects.

Falcon · « **Reply #28 on:** July 31, 2012, 01:14:36 PM »

sounds good gerry say around 7 ?

dajracer · « **Reply #29 on:** July 31, 2012, 02:02:25 PM »

Gerry, your tent is not a Costco tent is it? I think if we take 3 Costco tents and tie them together, we should be able to pit everybody under them. So, I have one, Craig has one and there are a couple in the van that we could borrow from. Everybody will have to bring their own chairs. Any other suggestions to decrease the total amount of stuff we take??
Anybody going to the track tonite?

gotnitro · « **Reply #30 on:** July 31, 2012, 04:24:57 PM »

ok i will leav my tent at home then.

No, we don't need to bring the sprayer.

As for the peppers, I still have horrible flashbacks of the Sunday morning when Tom clogged our toilet and I was kind of desperate for the washroom.... Serious clenching.

Falcon · « **Reply #34 on:** July 31, 2012, 08:15:17 PM »

Tough to do that at that point

haddow · « **Reply #35 on:** July 31, 2012, 08:17:56 PM »

we are catching the 7AM ferry correct?

jody

gotnitro · « **Reply #36 on:** July 31, 2012, 08:23:47 PM »

i think the 6 am ferry jody

dajracer · « **Reply #37 on:** July 31, 2012, 08:50:14 PM »

You'll scare Jody saying that Gerry, especially if he checks and sees that there is a 6AM boat.

Falcon · « **Reply #38 on:** July 31, 2012, 08:51:38 PM »

I say 6 also

gotnitro · « **Reply #39 on:** July 31, 2012, 09:26:08 PM »

so we are getting the 7am i am going to reserve so 6 or 7?

haddow · « **Reply #40 on:** July 31, 2012, 10:28:07 PM »

6 am ferry sounds better to me, i need the extra track time. I have three kids so pre-6 AM aint a problem.

gotnitro · « **Reply #41 on:** August 01, 2012, 01:28:29 AM »

Ok ferry reservation for the 7 am. need the buffet jody... Jody i will pick you up at 6am at your place your staying or on the side of the highway, what works best?
