Hometown Throwdown #2 -- July 11, 2009 at Rockport

[Jeremy M]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of All Ages!! Its time again for Hometown Throwdown, the sequel. It will be held at Rockport on July 11, 2009.

A big thank you to Jack Hollingsworth for the idea of an "8-ball" Race. It will be a relay race across the ledge, attainment, and back across the ledge. Teams will be two members of any paddling persuasion. Open-boaters and kayakers paddling together in harmony! What a beautiful thing! Three teams will race at a time, with "8 ballers" in the way to make life a little more interesting. The last team standing (ie fastest time through the course) WINS!!!

Of course the prizes are raffled off, so even if you don't win, you may leave with (trumpet fanfare) a COMPOSITE SHRED READY HELMET! This is the top prize this time, with other prizes, like FREE MOUNTAIN KHAKIS, and DIRTY T-SHIRTS! (those of you that were at Dierks will remember how valued these shirts were!)

COME ONE, COME ALL!!

[paddlinggoddess]

I will be there and won't be judge this time. I want to be a contestant. I think I can con Jason into being on my team.

Hey Jeremy,

Water hasn't been coming on till 12pm putting the water at the ledge around 2:30 - 3pm. Just FYI.

[turboturtle]

That will make it more interesting!

[Jeremy M]

Yeah, I spaced that. Sorry...We will begin when the water gets there...about 2:30 or 3:00....but Travis and I will be there between 12 and 12:30 to start getting people signed up so we can make a bracket. If you are participating, please arrive a little early so we can get everything set up in a timely manner

Hope to see everyone down there!

So what time is the race? I want my husband to race with me but he needs a time. I know that sounds crazy from the guy who just goes, :shock: but maybe he getting old, Actually he wants to go to some 4x4 Rock crawler thing that is inside and really loud. I won't be there, I will be at Rockport.

[Jeremy M]

Travis and I will be down at the ledge around 12:30 -1:00, but the actual race will not begin until around 2:30 or 3:00 (when the water gets there).

See you all at HOMETOWN THROWDOWN!!!
