Well i think that night we just might ride as long as we like....

Maddog

i think there is an airboat show in wildwood, 75 crome shop that same weekend.. where is the communication?

if there is anyone who has checked other club activities it would for sure be BWRIGHT.one thing about him is that he is on top of all club related projects no matter who they are or where they are.that is one man with MANY contacts and some how he stays up to date on just about everything

Thanks legaleagle I do try to keep up with the Airboating community but I am human and occasionally make mistakes

quickie One thing for sure there will not be an airboat show in wildwood, that same weekend across from the chrome shop on October 3 it has been moved to East Lake fish camp so don't get confused with a fast moving pace or people who are not in the loop.

To all the FAA airboat show is at East Lake fish camp on Eastlake Toho in Kissimmee Florida will see you there. bwright is right this time

I'm in

thanks bwright, ill spread the word. see you there!!

.... still wish it was a two day event.

It seems to be growing into a 2 day event....
It's a day and a night event at this point.

We stopped by there on the way home from the NARA races, and WOW is that fish camp quite the destination! They're HUGE! And with all the cabins, and RV camping spots, even a few tent camping spots too.

This show is going to party after the sun goes down, and the following day is going to be a ride in the memory of Dustin Basham.
So, it's getting there!!!

Looking forward to it.
