I have seen the course map, and it looks like a quarter mile run up to the half
mile course. We lobbied for a fairly long run up to the half mile. 9-11 is the date.

My last trip there in june I had to deal with the low waters @ alton. How about the ramps in grafton?
If I get good news from my marina shop tomorrow I plan on being there for the races.

We are thinking about coming and wanted to know some details. Where is a good place to stay? Where can we launch the boat and what time does the shootout start?

Other wise I might try to hitch a ride with someone that boats on the river.

That is my old home town and I'm really hoping to make it if I can get my boat fixed in time..
The question I had myself for someone is, what is deadline for registration if you wanted to run?

Here is an awsome map that shows the the 3 Il marinas (Alton, Piasa, Grafton) in relationship to race site, Portage Des Sioux.

Baywatch there are always someone at Alton or Grafton to let you know about water depths for launching that 36.
