Anybody who attended last years event should have received your entry packet by now. If you did'nt receive one and you want to attend the event please visit the web site at smokininthecove.com Remember that you must race your boat at a sanctioned event somewhere this year in order to be elgible for the big show at the Cove. The event this year should be better than ever with the addition of the Second Chance "8" for the 17'th thru 24'th qualifiers.Hope to see you there, Aim it at the mountain. Scott

That is one beautiful looking place. I'm not familiar with the 1000' indexes. What does the 6 second class consist of? If I am reading correctly, 10,000 to the winner of the 6 second class? That's impressive.

Scottyb, the 6 second class in the 1000' would be the same as the 8 second class in the quarter mile.

Scotty, if you aren't already booked for that weekend, it is a race to behold, with that much money at stake there is some serious racing going on. Heck they just might need an extra rescue person.
It is a fun weekend and a beautiful site.

Joe Don, I will look into it, but have to see how work goes after two trips to Cali, in September. How far is it from DFW?

BTW, who is providing rescue for this event?

Scottyb; It is about 300 miles from Dallas. Would like to see you there.If you come up be sure and look me up. It will be around 130 of the best bracket boats in the country. Rescue is provided by the local water rescue team along with two volunteer fire departments. We have 4 lakes in the area so most of the e.m.t.'s and paramedics we have here are also divers. 36 days till we aim it at the monntain.

SEaweed or somebody, Tell me how the lights work at Smokin! I read in the rules that a perfect light is .500? What's up with that?

How does the tree run? Are there numbers? Or Just lights?

Mike, they are different than SDBA, the year I went in '99, I didn't ever figure them out, but most everyone has, it is just a sudden change from the clocks we are used to.
I never had problems going from LED to the big ben clock, but SITC lights threw me for a loop, I enjoyed the races from on top of my beer cooler though.

It says,
Blue light= coarse ready, Starter ask's for thumbs up, Count down clock starts from (35) seconds (time to start motor),when clock reach's zero, it will start all over again at 10 seconds and count to zero in five seconds, PERFECT REACTION TIME IS .500

I don't get it?

1) does this mean when clock gets to zero the light is green?
2)does this mean leave sometime between 10-0? and red light after zero?
3) AGAIN i ASK,,,,,Numbers or blinking lights?
3) How far is the beam from the holding rope? 125'???????


Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike, my suggestion is to take as many qualifying runs as possible to get tuned into the clock, when it goes into the final countdown it goes fast, it was hard for me to leave with any consistency.

Mike I would suggest that you talk to Scott, Ken Reedy, Randy Benson, Steve Carter, Sam Russell and alot of the guys and gals that will be at Pine Bluff. I just thought Cindy and Barry Helms have all run Smokin The Cove, they should know what to tell you.

Water Rocket, didn't you read my post? Surely the people I mentioned will help you. I am sure all of them including Scott will be at Pine Bluff next weekend, that gives you a month to figure it out. HA-HA
