Hammer or Hillbilly, Are you going to start an official thread in your club section over at PB about this event? I have been talking to a guy over on iBoats that wants to come check it out. He has a pretty cool old SleekCraft outboard he restored. Even though it's not a V8, I'm pretty sure you guys would welcome him. He is close to Eufaula.

Yeah man, I started an Offical Hot boat bash thread over on PB under the OHBA clubs page. Mainly Im going to use it to post the minutes of the meetings, answer questions, and take ideas from the folks that cant attend the meeting but come to the bash.
We have some exciting things planned this year. had our meeting with the state last week. We didnt get everything we wanted but they did what they could to accomodate. So we are working around what they are going to let us do. If things work out its going to be a really good time. Took a few ideas from some of the threads on here and some of what Blaze was talking about and working in that direction. Their main gripe was the noise abatement issues. SO BRING YOUR BAFFLES.
I'll post more when info as I get it.

Ok guys, I dont have all the info yet but here's what I do have.
When: August 6th
Where: Okmulgee State Park
If you have been there before then you pretty much know the deal. But for those who dont. Annually the OHBA has a giant party for all performance boaters in the area, Saturday we are going to start with a brief drivers/safety meeting to let folks in on the do's and don't on our lake, then it will be a meet and greet, till about 2pm thats when we will serve everybody attending a home smoked BBQ dinner. After we are all stuff full of BBQ and everybody weighs 5lbs more we are going to have a little radar run (like last year) with a lane marked off and a designated spectator area. Then about the time the sun is going down and everybody is that custom shade of sunburnt we are renting the brand new pavilion the state park just built to have a live band come out and help us get the after party going till 10pm, then we can retire back to the camp grounds and finish the night off proper.
This is not a closed event, Oklahoma state boating regulations do apply and will be enforced, so please make sure your legal. You will be responsible for yourself.
But we still have a very large time, and have never had any problems. Last year there were about 70 boats in the water.
This is a family friendly event, there will be children there.
Just remember this is a party for you, we're just throwing it, so come and enjoy! ON US!!!
The plans are still developing and things will be added or changed right up the day of the event so stay tuned.
Here are a few important phone numbers
Okmulgee State Park office --> 918-756-5971
Holiday Inn Express --> 918-756-0100
Best Western --> 918-756-9200

on this lake you have to have water injected OT headers or baffles, BUT, they have to be watered ALL THE TIME EVEN AT IDLE so its best to throw in some baffles/silencers to be on the safe side and they wont bother you...........

Ok hears what came from the meeting with the park ranger. Over the transom headers must have baffles. Though transome such as snails or the I/O type have to have water at all times. But by all means. Please use the number I posted to call and ask Roger weirick. He's the park director.
