So, what is the excuse for not going because you are in Ohio? We have about 10 of us in Ohio right now that will be there.
I actually live in NC, (my parents live about 10 min from Nor'Banks as well) but we'll be up in OH that weekend for a family get together (yearly Oktoberfest thing for my wife's side of the family)
Next year I'll charter a boat and race it for sure.
