[BigGrizzly]

So you guys going to force me to put my boat in early again:cool: That was the easiest unload I ever did. A smile Bar got a hug and I just backed down the ramp and drove out- no boat on the trailer.:yes: Yes boys its prop time.:angel:

[mattyboy]

just wanted to let everyone know it is not father's day weeknd this year, also the club has been contacted by the lake george park commision and will be actively working with them to have a safe and unobtursive run. I am not sure if everyone has noticed what happened this year in the fun run on columbus day but we are going to put forth every effort to make this the best run yet
stay tuned the newsletter will be coming shortly

[fast fun 2]

You guys mind if i run with you guys in the Challenger for a bit?

[mattyboy]

for the formal part of the event on sat you'll need to be in a classic but it seems to me you and your Dad have helped out enough of the classic guys up there THEY OWE YOU A RIDE ;) think Jay or Kirby or Don should be able to help you out

BUT the sunday informal run sure bring the challenger

[Carl C]

How much time will actually be spent on the water running the boats? Is the lake really crowded, rough and policed that time of year? I love you guys and will enjoy the socializing but if I'm going to tow the boat that far and spend all the $$ then I want to run the boat. Just wondering, please don't take it the wrong way. I'm a spoiled week-day boater.

[BUIZILLA]

you can run the boat until you fall asleep, or drop dead..

whatever comes first... :kingme:

Johnny-

You will have NO problem finding a ride on Saturday. Definitely bring the Challenger down to TC and introduce yourself too!

Carl C -

I put almost 13 hours on the 16 in 2 1/2 days at last year's Dust-Off. That's probably half of what Haver and Dwight ran - and that was w/ $5 gas!

We should start our own Strategic Petroleum Reserve for next year NOW!

carl you won,t be disapointed ,32 miles of water and over 200 hundred foot deep there is a reason why they call it the Queen of American lakes:wink: it can be busy but there is plenty of room and places to go ,and if you are up there for a week saying the dust off week no problem on puting the hours on, we run friday night, saturday with the poker sun and after through the afternoon untill dinner and sunday mourning for a run on the lake so i hope that answers it,oh yea the cops aren't bad as long as you behave.:wink:

yea we like to put the hours on we bring them to run summer is way to short, jonny you and your dad will always have a ride for the poker run just bring your guitar:wink:

[mattyboy]

Carl


we are working on the formal layout for the event that will answer all of your questions stay tuned

but the lake doesn't go anywhere its ready if you are

the water can be big or small and you can go to places to find the water you like the lake is 32 miles long and if you're up to it you can have 64 miles in before lunch and 64 miles in before dinner everyday you're there

we always design the formal run part of the event to minimize down time and make the most of your time on the lake and with the people and the boats

[BigGrizzly]

Matty, Just make sure your there with your boss, I actually missed here more than you.

[mattyboy]

Randy,
yes the boss will be there and both of of missed everyone this year
now i am trying to talk pearson into making this year shirt the

[Carl C]

Matty and everyone, thanks for the responses. I will give this one some serious thought.

[Dr. Dan]

:kingme:Carl - it's worth the drive... I would come up Thursday and give yourself an extra day to decompress...and run the Lake Thursday and Friday before the lunatic Classic owners show up. I love this lake...this is a mandatory event for a true classic experience...and maybe you can learn how to drive from the 2 "Professional Race Boat Drivers" that will be there...

This Event will help you gauge your real skills amongst your peers... its where all BS walks or stays on the docks.

Make the trip, its a gauranteed good time and a beautiful Lake...I never miss it... ever!

Lenny...we are pulling a permitt this year so the LG Patrol and other law enforcement agencies are aware and included in our event. That being said the speed limit is 45 and noise tests are part of their enforcement. Take that for what it is...You will have plenty of opportunity to "RUN" on LG but during the pokerun Saturday if we all behave and stay together then "Johnny Law" should give us some space... but no guarentee's:nilly: I have a few contacts on the local sheriff's dept...guys I went to school with etc so I will see what I can do. Most of the time if u "RUN" out in the middle of the lake...avoid drawing attention buzzing the LG docks, shoreline etc...you should be fine...if u play with fire then prepare to get burned...I've boated on LG all my life with no issues from the law.:crossfing:..play nice and ur chances of being stopped are minimized.:angel:

[mattyboy]

Scott and I will be filling out the permit shortly, we are trying to work with the LGPC to run a safe an enjoyable event for all the attendees. we'll keep everyone posted

[mattyboy]

how many members does it take block out a 16 ??????

[jl1962]

in that first pic you and haver with the crossed hands looks like the front row of the 3rd grade class from St Benedict's

Of course Matty is right :wink:, and this year we should try to take a 2009 CLASS PHOTO (or a classless photo if you prefer). Seriously, we should grab everyone we can, have them gather in, on, around, under one of our boats and snap it. And we might need to use more than one 16!

I do have a group shot from the fall picnic in 04 or 05 that came out great, also have the same group giving the bronx salute to pearson

[roadtrip se]

I have been playing with the idea of trying the Eddie Marine inserts since last summer. They are like $89 or some other really small tariff and go in the exhaust tips with a single screw. I will try them, before I come back to LG. If somebody here already has them, please post your results.

As for the speed thingy, the secret is to start with the herd, stay in the middle of the herd (with the occassional exception of when a sandbagger or someone in a yellow boat comes up to say hello), and blend in like a zebra. See, sometimes red is a good thing. It also helps not to become a defacto member of the Saturday morning saliboat reggatta.

I wouldn't let any of this stuff keep me from coming up to LG again, but I am glad to see the guys trying to find a way to give us some space. Awesome place to have a rally, no doubt.

[bootdaddy]

I am considering bringing the Corsican for the virgin run in this event and have a few questoins:

Is the water too big for a boat this size? May bring the Hornet instead...

Where to book lodgings?

Is there dockage available day and night or does everybody pull their boat at day's end?

What do the water enforcement people crack down on...speed, noise, BUIs, valid registration, or just general harrassment?

Is there anybody in this crew under 50?:wink:

And are there any other hotties besides the Donzi babe or is it bring your own game?:wink::wink:

[mattyboy]

the club will not comment on any part of the run until all the permits are filed and everything is in order, the run as usual will be a unique event and be a blast

the accomodations can be had at

treasure cove, capri village,still bay, scotty's you'll have to check with the resort for dock availabilty John at treasure cove has given us the run of the docks.
I will get links posted up and will have the format and agenda posted in feb reservations can be made by the end of feb/mar as that is when the places start to open up

the lake can be big for a 22 sometimes but for the most part we have 16's that make the runs so a corsican should be fine and a welcome site on the docks

I believe the inserts dropped the decibels enough to be legal , and i also cut about 1/3 out of the insert centers and turned them to the bottom ( 6:30 ) position so when idling there wouldn't be any water reversion .

Is it really an issue if I was to be on the lake at the same time as your Donzi Classics? I don't plan on participating in your events and understand they are part of the donzi classic club. I was simply planning on taking a vacation with my wife, checking out some nice boats and maybe meeting a few other Donzi owners.

by all means enjoy the lake, leave the boat home on saturday and come join us for the show catch a ride meet people come to the dinner. this year will be a first as a sanctioned regatta and we have to adhere to the regs. We feel this will be a similar format to the 2007 Oct poker run of the LGPBA which did not allow shadowing, following, tagging along or running in the pack even for short periods by non participants. I am not sure what you had in mind.

the club goes thru this every year, the dustoff is about the clubs roots which is the old classics , we know the Donzi family has grown and we have included all the other Donzi models in our fall picnic.

You'll find that the Club is a great bunch of people come meet us but on saturday the z22 which btw you are doing a great job on should stay at your dock . saturday is all about the classics. Have you ever been in a classic?? great time to get ride in one and plan on the fall picnic where everyone gets their own dock I am sure the z22 would be a big hit there

Thanks for the compliments of my boat. Definetely sounds like a plan. I really like the classics and that would have been my first choice but the deal I got on my z22 I couldn't turn down. I would love to go for a ride on one. That would be great if I could find a ride for the poker run saturday. I have been wanting to get up to Lake George the past couple years but have just never had the time off to get up there and check out the lake. I have heard it is amazing though.

No problem, the rules are very clear to me now about the event. Like I said, I have been a Donzi owner for less than a year now and am learning more everyday about the clubs and events. Hope to meet some of you this coming year. I like to learn about the history of the boats and would like to gain more knowledge about the classics. Sounds like a good time to check the best of them out.

If you have any questions on the lake or the accomodations up there ask away, rides are always available, one year we had a guy come up who was interested in buying one he got a ride in just about all of them. the event draws some of the best donzi knowledge and talent on the planet. and just to put this in perspective the guy who started the club our own ex president Fasteddie now owns a formula he still comes but without the boat ;)

we have the only judged boat show for donzi classics , trust me on this it is worth leaving the boat moored and take the car over to the algonquin or catch a ride with someone, you'll want to come back in the fall too

I better get moving or i'll need to catch a ride too

[BigGrizzly]

I have to say, my first was two years ago. It was a horrable 1200+ mile trip, wife wasn't happy even a little bit. After about 20 minutes and good people it was all better. On the way home She said, have you made reservations for next year yet! So take it from there.

The club has adopted strict rules for the hp500 cooler races very similar to the pine box derby. there will be no cheating and trying to shave weight by carrying lite beer,or turkey or tofu burgers except for Dr Dan, and there will be no running of hi-test or alcohol burning funny coolers so Don's jungle juice / aviation fuel is out of the question :spit:

Will there be a pre-race inspection of the cooler compartments? I'm finding it difficult to mount the Nitrous bottle out of sight...lol
So far my 1/4 mile #'s are 9.59:) but I hope to "trim" that by LG..:)...lol

[mattyboy]

after the poker run and the boats are docked and not until then cooler inspections and emptying and refilling is allowed the only thing is we need to make sure at the end of the cooler race that your chute deploys and you don't end up in the lake unless you have a lake permit for the cooler too then go for it :tongue:

[Scott Pearson]

Wait till you see the cooler I'm bringing.....You all better watch out:pimp:

[mattyboy]

poodle
no hip flasks during the poker run but after that you can even wear that hard hat you have that holds 2 beers with the straws ;)

Scott I hope you don't trip over this new cooler at 6:30 am :tongue:


Looks like I am going to be solo this trip , wonder when the last time the village had a drunken riot ;)

Can you make a quick 10 minute detour ?
Just come in low from Ogdensburg New York, there is a runway about 5 minutes from my house. The Federales would never know you were here ..... :eek:



The airport has a single 1,800 ft (549 m) grass runway, and serves mainly ultralight and glider traffic.

[mattyboy]

Just in case you had any reservations about flying...:pimp:



at first glance with that big leather capt's chair I had to do a double take it looks a lot like buiz's coach ;)


Boxy maybe I could get a c-130 out of Stewart ANG they could do a pick but you would have to parachute in which would be a first too ;)
