Looks like we've got 5 for the ModVP class, I'm bringing the Lavey down.

 

[Desert Whaler]

i haven't been to a race there in decades and would like to cruise w/ my Pops.
How early would you guys recommend us getting there to hopefully avoid walking several blocks if possible ???

Even at 7AM, you’re walking. We’re setting up a spot on the beach on Friday…not sure where yet, but bring a chair…all are welcome to our shade. Will post location on Friday

Cool, thanks for the heads-up. My Pops is in good shape, but double knee replacement so I wanted to limit his mileage, LOL.
Might have to Uber it or something, we're in HB so not too bad.
Thanks again , hope to see you there.

Drop him off at the gate by the bridge/pits, then you go find a place to park. That’s what I do with the wife and kid, not because they have trouble but because I don’t wanna listen to it.

If your early risers you can pay to ($25.00 +/-) to park inside the event. You will want to get in line by 5:30- 6am. Gates open @ 7am I believe. If early enough, first-ish in line you can park on the front row and watch races from your vehicle if you like. You can set up chairs, ez up etc. On the sidewalk @ your car. You can also bring your own food/bevs etc. To enjoy and save $. Note: put beers etc. Under top layer of water/soda etc. In case they check ice chests. Might bring some cups too for further concealment. Officials do walk around looking for stuff so best to be incognito.

Ya, you need cups for sure.

If you leave the ice chest out of sight you should be ok from the decoy beverages. I usually leave my ice chest in the cab or trunk if I take my car.

Couple years back, well the last race there, we did the drive in and it worked great. Are they going to have the same set-up with the gate to get in way down on the closed end, pit side???

I hope so, I’m going with my Dad who’s 85 and has a bit of a hitch in his getalong. He hasn’t been to the Long Beach race in 40 years.

Wish my Dad was with us as he wouldn't miss a boat race in SoCal in the late 50's and all through the 60's. Passed at fricken 59 years old. We had a Patterson flatty he put together in the early 60's. Wish I could find it. I tagged along to many a boat race with him when I was a little guy.

He never did back in those days either. Great to get him back there. He still has his 63 Hallett flat(one of the first boats Nick Barron built) with a Holman Moody med riser 427. My Mom bought it for him for his birthday back in the Stone Age.

 

[Groper]

We'll be there by Boat floating around the buoys consuming large amounts of CL's & BBQ'n Brat's

 

[TrollerDave]

I’m going to try and make it out on Sunday, but I’ve never been there. I’m assuming you go into the gate at the top end of the bay, the address listed. Assuming that parking lot gets full, do you just park in the local neighborhood or is there another parking lot we should park in?
Where are the pits at? And I assume, we pack in on the beach to watch?
Just tying to plan on how to pack and prepare myself to deal with crowds.

You can enter either at your orange dot or down near the pits right before the bridge. The parking lot will be full unless you get there real early. I usually park in the neighborhood or on Appian and take a nice walk. We have a wagon with all our shit in it typically.

 

[Pattle]

The wife and I are looking forward to this. We had a great time at the last one.

 

[rivergames]

These are our mini pits circled in red. Its' fun cramming a bunch of race boats in there

This race is going to be HUGE this year. Lot's of fast boats coming out and tons of fans spectating.

 

[timstoy]

We will be there supporting Heath and Kaylee GN369 and GN18. It’s our hometown race and we always have a great time with family and friends! Please come down to the pits and talk to the drivers and crew. It should be a great time, I can’t wait!

 

[RaceTec]

I will be there Friday afternoon putting up banners and stuff then there almost all weekend.... I will bring stickers and shirts, the shirts go fast so if you see me ask!

 

[DUN]

Anyone have an idea on the number of K's that'll be there?

[cakemoto]

We will have an ez up down there Friday. I will have cold ones too

I would bring my STV but they won't let me run it.

Two beers with breakfast and I’m ready to hit the thumb throttle

 

[AZLineman]

Proof. Lol.

 

[ScottyP363]

EFI Bridgeport

 

[lbhsbz]

EFI Bridgeport

Yeah…they’re trying to keep it in the 80mph range, since the class originally ran 2.0Ls….us broke fucks can’t keep up with the big boy motors.

 

[caribbean20]

As luck would have it I’m in LA this weekend. Never been and coming on Saturday. I’ll be the guy stumbling around looking for the beer tent and sporting this tee . . .

 

[ScottyP363]

I didn't realize a Bridgeport was a big boy motor LOL Do you still have the Lavey I sold you?

The Lavey you sold me? Is this Brian?

 

[ScottyP363]

The Lavey you sold me? Is this Brian?

No, this is Scott. I could have sworn it was you that I sold my old 18'10" to. You're running this weekend?

 

[lbhsbz]

You were down in Fountain Valley? Yeah…that was me.

The boat is racing this weekend
