It's that time again!! :burnrubr:
Walnut Ridge was a lot of fun, and Houston ought to be even better! Not only do we have courses designed by one of the best in the sport (Roger "The Real" Johnson), but we have decent hotels, a great event site, gambling, and you don't have to drive thirty miles to buy beer!
Who's going?
(FYI, While both of the event hotels claim to be full if you call them, I managed to find a room at the Texas City Fairfield Inn through Orbitz.)
My plans keep changing and I'm not going to be able to make it. I was really looking forward to Houston. Well, there's always next year. :(
Good luck!
Here is a LINK to more information on the event!
I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I'm darn close. :drive:
Need to sharpen my Popsicle stick before this event! ;)
Can you science that down a little bit for the audience? :wink:Quote:

As I came off the course on Sunday, John Williams told me that I was the fastest Escort at the event. :burnrubr: I've got to try for that honor again at Houston.
I now have a couple of 1 Gig cards for the camera, so I can take a LOT ::2Guns:: of photos at Houston.
Doug,
I was working course both days when you ran. I'll say this - you've got avery nice line and you're a very smooth driver! You looked great out there!
Long story. Suffice to say that if you think bringing a knife to a gunfight is bad, don't show up with a Popsicle stick. :mrgreen:Quote:

Good luck old timers!:punchout:Quote:

Wow. I just looked at the entry list for G stock. This one is going to be easier than Walnut Ridge. There are girls in the class.
Yea, right! The girls... Beth McClure-Strelnieks, 6 times national champion and Su Brude 2 times national champion.
If I can't beat the boys, I am in trouble.
The boys....Stan Whitney, 5 times national champ; Robert Carpenter, 3 times national champ; G.H. Sharp, 2 times national champ; Greg Reno, National Tour winner and to register later, Jeremy Foley, no less than three national tour trophies.
Anyone have any golf clubs for sale?
Just remember, Doug - the best way to get faster is to race against people who are faster than you. You're gonna be a lot faster at the end of the weekend! :mrgreen:
That's a very good point Iain. I think it's one of the great things about national events.Quote:
