So what do you go with James?

walsh park on bellevue ave I will update as soon as i know i am locked in 100%.

That'll work too James. Plenty of parking, shelters and even a path that we could ride bikes around on. Plus playground equipment for the kids.

Need to start the roll call!

I need to know how many will be coming so I can buy food cuz I'm makin breakfast. That is if the the grill will be there early enough.

you snoooz you loooz

Well my boy and I will be there along with Jay. What time you plannin on being there Chuck?

I will be there with a buddy and I think (vettefan) Craig will be there too.

Just before the grill gets there. I would expect around 6:30 and have stuff coming off the grill by 7:00 hopefully. It really depends on how soon the grill gets there cause I won't be hauling it. Are there grills in the park just in case?

I'm kinda figuring around 30 for breakfast for starters. I'd like to be done by 8:00 or so. If your not there before then.............

breakfast for 30 should cover it. I am not getting the big grill this year so i am looking into possibly renting one the guy who lends me that grill is doing a cookout for a childrens fishing rodeo in utica that weekend. To the guys who show up early to help setup and get stuff orginized breakfast is on cheez (chuck).


WE DO NEED TO GET KIND OF A ROLE CALL OF GUYS SO I KNOW HOW MUCH AREA TO ROPE OFF. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUDGESTIONS OR COMMENTS PLEASE PM THEM TO ME

James

Im in, how early are we talking for setup?

I have one thing in my way of possibly going, but hope to be there

Rob-

I am going to be there pending a natural disaster...Or overtime at work (times are slow and I gotta take it when I can get it!)...

Does anyone know if Tim will be there? I have a pair of bars that need some extensions!

Mike

I will be there with race_inc and son. I am working afternoons so I will be leaving early (1:30 ish).

A few questions and/or requests...

Does anyone have some spare bike stands? I might just steal some pvc fittings from work and make my own...lol...James are you bringing your bike rack?

Also, does anyone have and Crupi Pro round or square cages in dark blue that I can eaither borrow for the show or buy?

WHOA!!!!!!! An apperance by THE mid-school man?
How many stands do you need?

I have a pair of JP cages in blue, but they're not very dark.

I need three stands...I've got two, but somehow I plan on bringing five bikes...lol...I will make it happen...

Unfortunately the JP blues are too light...If worse comes to worse I can just use black cages...

Good lookin out tho!

mike i have an extra stand u are welcome to use. the bike rack i donated to freedom BMX for there track.

UPDATE trophies are done, the park department assures me that the space will be finished by the time of the show, If for some reason that it isnt the secondary place is walsh park on bellevue ave it is easy to get to check out the Map of Ottawa and map it out guys.

Same this year hotdogs and burgers chips for food
tang water and lemonade. If you choose to drink please understand this is a public park so keep it responsable

If you show up early we will be at one of two places around 7am sharp

Again i really hope to see all of you guys there and even more and to those of you who have already donated and plan to donate something for the raffle please PM me ASAP so i can make sure i setup enough room for eveything.

James

Well seeing how i bought a mid school cruiser i think i'll show up as well. How responsible do i have to be? Look forward to seeing all my fav MM brothers. That means you beltramini.

I can't believe you know that word.





He told me when he was at my pad this weekend that he was coming, so............

Is there going to be a swap meet or is anyone bringing anything to sell?

Are we allowed to bring a bike or frame/fork or bars to sell?

My next door neighbor in mendota has race inc chrome bars off of his 83 gt pro
he would like to get rid of. could he bring those to try to sell?

I have 2 mid-school bikes I would like to put for sale signs on

let me know

thanks

this is a show ans swap meet of corse you can bring to sell also. Well phsyco I guess what i am saying is the Boys in Blue drive by from time to time so no beer bongs can pyramids wearing of the shirt on our heads, keg stands are out of the picture.just follow Willinois around and you should be ok,

JAmes

Maybe, maybe not!

Just don't follow him if he is about to bunnyhop a barricade!

good call good call

Mike I have two extra stands you can use.

I will be there, but I have not bunnyhopped anything since Pep's last year.

Cool, with those two and the one from James I should be good to go! Thanks guys!!

OK Guys i promised some photos of the trophies but not until around 7pm central time way over the top on these best of show is 40 inches tall. these are so sharp i am ear to ear smile

James, unfortunately I am scheduled for work this weekend. Sorry bro... I'll see ya at Pep's though. Take lotsa pics for us poor fools who can't make it..

Word from the top today. They asked if i wanted to work this sun and i of course said yes. Sorry i can't make it but i'm not one to turn down overtime, plus working sun in the union is the double time and that my friends is tough to turn down. I thought about coming fri and leaving early sat but i'd be shot for the next 3 days. Peps for sure

I just checked the weather and there's no chance of rain. Looks like perfect weather. I'll commit, I'm in! Sending PM.

poor phsyco its ok man peps it is make that money. OK i couldnt get my camara to load lastnight but i got it fixed this morning so here they are the trophies for this years show. Shot in my make-shift photo studio LOL

Damn James, killer trophies! Just curious. Where at Walsh park are we setting up our spaces, right in the parking lot?

James, Race Inc,

Is there shade? do we need to bring canopys? and chairs?

Im am going to see about making it ,Im looking for a designated driver for james's after show party back at his place. Bird man wont get back with me....

another dilema I am having STEVEN BEVEN NEEDS TO CALL ME or e-mail I have some dudes pit bike from rockford and I need to know if he will be there so I can return it.

Ed

yes the setup will be at the south end of the parking lot bringing a canopy is a good idea. ED everything will be ok


I had another idea as i was going over the park layout. there is a jogging trail that wraps around the park. If there is enough guys interested in having a sprint race around the park I am down for this. So bring a rider and lets do it

OOOOOOH! I think I'll drop a couple teeth on the chain ring.

Hey James I may come up Friday night can I crash on your floor?
