SPC, Feb 18 - FAST Duel!

***** NEEDED *****

Can someone bring a full sheet of drywall? We want to use it as a bulletin board to post the brackets on. I would get it but am having a problem with the logistics of getting it there.

Get back to me as soon as possible in case in need a plan b.

I have an easel and some 18x24 white poster board we can set up. Would be much easier to transport as it'd even fit in my vette. If you want to email me the brackets, I can print them out on two sheets of 12x18. And with just some blue painters tape, I can easily secure the easel and board incase the wind picks up.

Any word on doing setup tonight?

The idea of using a 4x8 sheet of drywall in genius. You see I plotted all the brackets on 24x36 heavy bond and this would allow us to post them so they can be viewed all at once. Also, the drywall allows us to use push pins instead of tape, which has the tendency to come unstuck.

I can get the sheet there tonight but then I would have to leave it on-site, overnight, exposed to the elements. My sport-trac only has a 4-1/2' covered bed. Oh, if I only had 3-1/2 more feet [john - insert joke here].

I got nothin'.

[shakedown067]

Well then. If we go tonight, I can take my truck. Do you have the sheet rock already or do I need to pick up a sheet? Do we want to bring the trailer too and get that over with? I can do both pretty easy...if we do it tonight.

[buddy bodean]

Eric, PM'd ya.

Setup: Tonight at 5pm. Anyone who's free is welcome to come help.

Ed, if we lay the drywall flat and bungee/tie it face-down to one of the tables, it would probably survive the night.

Setup: Tonight at 5pm. Anyone who's free is welcome to come help.

Figures it'd be that early. I don't even get out of work till 5:30 (if I'm lucky) and of course I've got the kiddo to myself till at least 7pm. I'll give Ed a buzz when I'm free to see if y'all still need a hand and/or need me to bring a sheet of sheetrock down.

[Loren]

Wait... why don't we just put the drywall in the trailer?

[buddy bodean]

Yea, Eric said that too and I thought about it. I am not sure it will fit with all the stuff that is in there now. Johnny and I will scope it out tonight.

I can always drop the trailer and then go to the home depot. Where is the nearest one?

[shakedown067]

The closest one is on 22nd ave north, just west of I-275. Ed, I'll give you a buzz when I get out of work around 5:30. If needed, I'll see if I can just bring little man with me for the sheetrock run. Would put me at SPC around 6:30, pending on traffic and how quick I can get out of home depot.

The weather gods are smiling on us. No, really!

Its raining now, but it looks like there will be a break in the action around 6pm while were setting up, maybe even a touch of sun.

And for tomorrow? 10% chance of rain all day long... typical Florida day.

[shakedown067]

Yep, looking good for tomorrow. Looks to stop raining tonight around midnight. Should be a BEAUTIFUL day for BATTLE-X!

Fixed.

[Gerry]

So I've added like 50 lbs worth of stereo equipment to my car and I've got a nice, FULL TANK of gas. I can't lose.

I got nothin'.

So we've heard. (Needed to be said)

[Solar]

Looking forward to tomorrow, weather should hold off according to baynews 9.

I ordered 3 shirts, might have an extra to sell if anyone wants one.
