I'm kicking around going to the Derby in January. Southwest is running a special right now that might be able to save you some cash. Generally, their specials only last a couple to a few days. For the Derby, fly into Louisville, KY. I got a price of $101.00 ROUND TRIP from central NC...

Glen - what are you using for a template for the ball area in these photos to indicate the kitchen. These look great!

I'm with Fatboy & JCIN here Bottom line is Mr. Behrman air-barreled, in a sense. If you 'promise' - then deliver. It is and was a great event though. Hat's off. Also, JustNum's numbers are probably off by a very considerable amount. I've helped plan major multi-day events (not pool...

Thanks for the responses so far I think I know which way I'll have to go. I appreciate all who have PMed me. I will be following up with as many as I can.

I'm in town for a few days...where's the best room?

Help Needed Tackling Subrail Extensions on a GCI Hello all. I am not a table mechanic by trade, but am looking to improve my GCI's (Pro 8) play. I have a little experience with working on GCs, but not extensive. I am looking to complete sub-rail extensions, since I cannot successfully...

You Nailed it, Jay I really appreciated what Jay had to say. He nailed it. It seems a lot of folks are very wound up on being bigger in everything. In many minds, size is equated to success. I actually think getting smaller could be the biggest help to the game in the next decade. Yes...

Glen - Thanks for the quick reply. Would the table play slow because of not modifying or are SuperSpeeds just troubelsome? Also, any idea when you are swinging through Raleigh, next? Remember me? I think I'm even in your computer... Peter

Do These GCI Rails Need to be Rebuilt I have a GCI that was 'redone' about a year ago. Here is a photo of one of the rails. By the picture, can you tell if these have these been modified. The have SuperSpeed on them now. And after reading Glen's post above, I want to be sure. Actually...

I am not comfortable with changing the design of the table. I suspect this is an install issue. I'll see what others think. Thanks for your perspective. PG

Had a very strange - and potentially dangerous - occurance yesterday while playing on my Gold Crown I. The table dropped its skirt, literally. See photos below. I was simply shooting, and thud. The whole thing just fell off. I haven't had a skirt come off this quick since...

Sounds Like Good Model / Esp. with Smoking Ban Coming NC's smoking ban takes effect Jan 1. Hopefully they will do well. Realistic business model by the sounds of it, too.

Great News / Live Proof? This is great, great news. I don't know either personally, but it's evident that JAM has been a godsend for Keith and vice-versa. Now, I'm always a skeptic and would hate for this not to be true for some reason. In any event, I went here...

Got my vote, D-man Just voted...hope you get in. Look me up when you're in Raleigh. Tell Mark hey

How much does stretch effect speed? I have a GC with 860, but it seems to play an order of magnitude slower than the local room I play in where they have it. I see puckers under the rails and by the pockets. It also puckers up when bridging. I'm sure this effect how it plays....any...

Just sent it. Also getting in touch with the folks about the pockets.

Glen - I'm going to do it / Will be following up Glen - I will be doing what we discussed yesterday evening. Let me know a good time to call you on 9/1. Thanks again. _PTG

I have a Gold Crown I 8-Pro and would like to tighten her up with rail extensions and address some other issues I see. The previous mechanic's approach was to double-shim (or something like that, I believe) and the pockets play really funny. I'm also noticing puckers on the bed and under the...

Any updates on this table RKC, Just wondering what ever happened with this table. I happened to stumble on a similar situation myself. Just trying to determine a rough value on the table. Mine is the exact table, minus the name plate (which I got from Ken Hash afterward). I play on mine...
