Oh, almost forgot another disclaimer. Our house is going on the market tomorrow. If it should sell before September, then all bets are off unless you want to come to the RV park we will be living in while our new house is built. That park is pretty nice and does have a big pool and a very nice lake to swim in. There are no gators in the lake, so you won't have to be concerned about getting your face chewed off.
400$ a ticket I hope there's a lot that is included for that price and not just premium seating. Hopefully the place is jammed packed full of people and the show doesn't disappoint.

Good luck with the sale and don't forget to start a thread in non-moto when your new house is being built if you don't mind sharing. I'm looking at the possibility of building my first one later this year.

OK, pulled the trigger on VIP tickets. We will be there, but probably just for Sunday.

Any Vital bros in the area may show up at Harry's place for a pre-party on Saturday. Yes, there will be plenty of smoked meats, gator tail, swimming and general buffoonery, monkeyshines, hi-jinks, skylarking, etc. .If you decide to jump off the roof into the pool, you do so at your own risk. Additionally, if you miss the pool and go over the fence into the swamp you agree I cannot be held responsible for cottonmouth strikes or damages caused by gators.
So wish I could make this!! What weekend is this? On my phone and too lazy to look it up.

No, this lake is one of the few lakes in Florida (10 total if memory serves) that is certified by the state as a swimming lake. That also means (I hope) no brain-eating amoebas. I hate brain-eating amoebas.

Kkawbro! Our camper is a two person, but I'm sure there are plenty of Hotels near the place. Of course, all that is predicated on actually selling this place before September. We shall see.

Anyone know the detailed schedule for the race? Tix say Thur -Sunday, but ads say normal Sat and sunday. I can assume Friday is practice but what is Thursday? Working on flight plans and wanted to see if anyone could find a detailed schedule.
Else I'll email the promoter and ask.

We will be there for the weekend. Was planning on just coming up friday night for the sat/sun racing, but I wouldn't mind racing the vet class on friday. Its only been 10ish years since I have raced, and close to 15 since I rode gatorback. We will see.. Regardless if you guys are wandering around the pits and see a silver '17 F450 with a truck bed camper on the back, stop and say hi

Come on kkawbro! Agreed, Gatorback is awesome, but give WW a chance. Junior is a great person and deserves a shot.

Looks like I will be going, it's not worth the charges for canceling the airplane ticket. I thought she booked it with miles

Sure, a lake in Florida with no alligators. You're losing some credibility
