I"m in the midst of putting together a show & shine type deal for the season ender. A friend of mine is having the grand opening of his Bar & grill, "Big Daddy's Smokehouse sports grill" on Thursday the 20th. late afternoon/early eve. We will have the P.C. and some other boats there for the fun and thought we might try and invite all the boats and see if we can't have some contests and such. With this stinkin' economy we're having, this may be the last race for some of us and we really wanted to have good time at the finals. It's on chandler blvd only 3 miles from the track. Please let me know who can attend so I can save us a big enough spot. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'll sponsor some prizes and any help with that would be great. Thanks, I look forward to seeing everyone in Phoenix!!!!!! EK

Sounds great Eddie.  If you need ramp clutter, we'd be more than happy to drag a rescue boat over.   Either way, you can count on all of us being there.

If you need someone to run errands here in town just let me know. My work schedule is pretty flexible so it wouldn't be to much trouble.
Just let me know.

Thanks Paul, Ralph and Connie. I'll let you know if I need any help.
Hos, please don't bring the rescue boat. It seems every time I see that thing it needs a major overhaul and I happen to be the lucky guy standing there.
By the way!!! Proceeds from the raffle will go towards the feeding habits of the native rescue dudes!! p.s. Those with prizes to offer, please e-mail me so I can make a list.

Dang it Eddie...you saw right through me!  I was sort of hoping we could drop the thing off at Show & Shine for a quick oil change and tune-up!

I was starting to detect a pattern Hos!!!!
By the way, tell Curt we're going to need some of that incredible wine for the raffle.
I have about 12-15 boats committed so far and the parking lot can hold 20ish.
Mostly hydro's with a couple flats & jets, so a couple of TAF's would be cool.
Obviously we want everyone to show up even if your not bringing a boat.
Here's the list so far.
P.C.
Hot Licks
Bad Habit
Just 4 fun
Milwaukee Bullet
Coyote Ugly + 2 others
Liquid Addiction
Alter Ego
Pro mod Ty
Hydrochondraic
Red Alert
Centsless
Tequila Sunrise
PE 457

Animal Instinct, Adolescent Insanity, Castrol Special TAH

Yeah...it's amazing how good boxed wine can be if you add a little 7-up and a slice of orange!

Eddie,

You can add "Animal Instinct" PE#207 to the show-n-shine list (if there is still some room). 

THANKS!!!

Thanks Mike, that would be great!!
We have about 20 now but I'm working on getting us some more space. I think we need about 50 to make it a PARTY!!!!
We could use some alternates just in case.

If possible,
I need those that are supplying gifts for the raffle or cash donations for the Team rescue meals to bring them to me Wednesday afternoon or early Thursday at the track. We will be selling the raffle tickets starting Wednesday. Tickets are $10 ea.
So far you can win a possible $500. in cash (or check), Free food at Big daddy's, some nice bottles of wine, P.C. merchandise and many other great gifts.
Don't be tight with the donations, we all need rescue from time to time and these guys pay their own way to be there for us!!!!!!!!!!

For those attending the party, with or without boat we will be heading over to the restaurant around 3:30- 4:00ish It's going to go 'til about 10:00 but the boats can leave sooner if they need. Also remember to stop by and see me Wed. or Thur. before the event.
Thanks,
EK p.s. make sure you have your credentials to get back in the track afterwards.
