March 24, 25, and 26, 2006 - the APBA Winter Nationals are at Lake Buhlow in Pineville (Alexandria). First time in years that they been held somewhere other than Florida.

An APBA race smack dab in the middle of NBRA territory.

From what I'm reading on the boat racing sites, the participation at this race will probably be better than any stock/mod race in the last 15 years or so. Due to where it is most of the NBRA racers will be there plus the APBA racers. There will be boats from as far away as eastern Canada (Kingston, Ottawa, Mississauga Beach, and Toronto), California, and Washington (state). 

I hope that you can make it up to Alex to see this race. It will be a good one.  8)

A fly in is possible. There was one this past April while we were there for a race. There were even 3 or 4 floatplanes there.

He hasn't done any fishing since about May. The lake has been real low all year. Moss is bad almost everywhere.
