CAB33 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Here's a great question .... Does anybody know if they are using any of the newly constructed bays for this weekends match? With the size of those new bays, they could certainly set up some Awesome (read big/large) stages. I was told they are not using the new bays for this match.

Chris Keen Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 That seems a shame since they look so nice, but I'm sure they just aren't 100% ready. So we'll just have to wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Here's a great question .... Does anybody know if they are using any of the newly constructed bays for this weekends match? With the size of those new bays, they could certainly set up some Awesome (read big/large) stages. The new bays are under water - but there is some small steel at long distances (didn't measure them, but looks like 25 yards?). They're using the same ten bays ( plus chrono station) as in the past. Looks like a challenging course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyburg Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Im at the Hilton at Disney World. Looking at driving down very early to shoot all day Friday. Can't wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZinSC Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Same here...can't wait. 5am wake up, 6am on the road. Plan is to drive straight there and see some action late tomorrow. Shooting Sat PM/Sun AM. Not looking forward to the 8+hour drive (wishful thinking). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LChico Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Same here...can't wait. 5am wake up, 6am on the road. Plan is to drive straight there and see some action late tomorrow. Shooting Sat PM/Sun AM. Not looking forward to the 8+hour drive (wishful thinking). Drove from SC today (I-95 to I-4). Traffic was congested on I-95 from GA-FL line to Daytona (yup - race weekend), but Orlando was truly bad. Hit the outskirts of Orlando at 3:00 pm (I THOUGHT I was ahead of 'rush hour' ) and it took an hour to go 20 miles - 4 lanes of traffic going 15 to 20 miles per hour. And I have no idea why ... No traffic accidents, no road construction, no lane closures, etc. Passed several signs that said "Minimum Speed 40 mph." I wish! It added an hour to my trip.

Linda Chico (L-2035) Columbia SC Thanks for the update Linda. Thankfully I realized the other day the 500 was this weekend, so my plan is to take 95 down to Jacksonville, then the 10 to 301, to 75 to FL Tpke. It's a longer route, but I'm avoiding Daytona at all costs, and hopefully the FL Tpke is far enough south of Orlando that I won't run into the early rush hour. ( fingers crossed ) How long did it take you to get there from Columbia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktm300 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Heading over this afternoon, even though I don't shoot until Saturday @1. Of course I woke up this morning feeling sick, go figure. Should still be a good time. Not sure about small steel at 25 yards but.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facelessman Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 95 from Jax down to Daytona wasn't that bad. I-4 into Orlando was worse, but it didn't get really stupid until you hit the city limits and all the way to the exit for 27. 27 wasn't was bad, but the traffic lights kinda sucked. If you're driving in tomorrow, give yourself some extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Merricks Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Of course I woke up this morning feeling sick, go figure. Hate to hear that but I know the feeling. The last time I shot the Fl Open I had gotten food poison the night before and was up all night long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Doing this match in one day is brutal but I'd do it again in a heartbeat!! It was fun, the staff running the stages are great, the stages are challenging and the weather was awesome. I hope to do it again but my squadmates for this year are wanting to do it in 2 days next year. Pansies.... Thanks to Frank and all the RO's and staff that helped put this match on. Thanks to the sponsors too. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexor40cal Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Wally, your a good man sir! I hope you had a good match, wish I did, I came down with a head cold, couldn't think and shooting it in one day nearly killed me! Hopefully see you at SC State. So travel plans have changed for getting to the Florida Open. If anyone is flying in Thursday evening, I really need a ride from the Orlando (MCO) airport Thursday 17th around 7pm down to Lake Wales area, the Hampton just North of the match on 27. If anyone can help, I am meeting my friend down there, so have a ride back, just need to get from the airport to the hotel? PM, e-mail lexor40cal@aol.com or call me 770-335-2236 I am traveling light, as ammo is already there. Peter Sent email. Wally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramas Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Doing 10 stages in one day is what we europeans accustomed to. Nothing special, just all day long fun. I see a few competitors who we compeate to here in europe. I think Production champion will be Ljubisa Momcilovic our Serbian friend! Go Ljubisa!!!

Yoshi, I'm with you in that 10 30 rounders can be brutal to do in 1 day. I shot it in 2 days last year and it worked out great. Plus I know you're from warm, sunny Cali, but for us East Coasters, when you're in Florida you really don't want to leave the Sunshine state, so we try to stretch it out as long as we can!
