Title: Northern???????????????????????????
Post by: Eric on September 07, 2012, 01:21:30 PM
I see FLW has joined the idiocy of B.A.S.S with their scheduling now.  Why should I have to drive 800 miles SOUTH to fish a NORTH tournament.  Why don't they schedule Minnetonka as part of the Texas division or something equally as bright.

I guess it is more like a NE division. Sort of. I'm blaming most of these kinds of things on the gas prices first. And then the non-Midwestern states being way more receptive to bass tournaments second.

I think Minnetonka on the Texas division would be pretty funny though. Of course, I'm not from Texas! ;D

There's nothing that says you HAVE to drive that 800 miles south....

Heck, take the race car down... might be fun going down the highway.

Funny you say that Mike.  I was at the engine guy's house last week working on the motor and did a couple "test runs" on a newly paved road near his house.  Let me tell ya, a sprint car with no body or wings on it goes pretty fast, wide open down a paved road.
