Neat idea having 1 brand of boats for a run.

Will watch closely how this turns out.

Would be cool to have all the entrants post a pic of their boats as they sign up.

Thanks for the thumbs up. There are others that have done the same, just a first for Sonic on a large scale. I thought it was about time. With the economy, we need to do what we can to keep our industry alive, and helping the manufacturers to keep producing boats. These events help out.......generate interest, etc, not only for the Sonic brand but other vendors with upgrades that the boat owners can do on many different levels, ie: Power, Drives, Paint, Props, Interior etc......

We have over 250 pics on the Sonic website ( soincpokerrun.com ) as of todays date. Combo of entrants, and pics of other Sonics over the years. We will probably add a entrant specific pic gallery in the very near future.

Watch for news and info as things develop further with entrants.

Went through the site.
Lot of work put into that , for sure.

Sponsors dont get anything out their input if no one knows who they are.
I know Frisini obviously but who is the other sponsor who is helping put this all on....Team Cash Money ??

Hope this grows into an annual event cuz this is a ton of work for 1 Poker Run.

Kudos to the organizers.

Which boat is yours ?

A dedicated Sponsor page will be put up once we have them all in. Additionally the sponsors will be on all the T-shirts and banners at the event. The two main sponsors are headlined currently. Look for the full sponsor page in the next two months. The sponsors will have plenty of recognition well in advance of the run.

Alot is going into this event, and we plan to make it an annual event. Currently this is a not for profit event, all proceeds are going into the event and poker hand payouts. Next year we will start donating to a worthy charity. We are already looking at several.

My boat is in my avitar.

Kids are more than welcome !!!! This is very family friendly oriented event. Please feel free to bring the kids ! They should enjoy this event just as much if not more than the adults, with all the boats, and other fun things.

The last form in the waiver paperwork is just for kids.

The event website is currently being redone to update, and to accomodate a few new things, and also to re-arrange some pages. We are not going to cut off sponsor time frames. Several have committed currently. Plenty of pics were on the site also, many sent in from guys going to do the run. Plenty of interest and positive responses in and for the event, and it grows.

With 3 long time pokerruns scheduled around the Sonic Run, the weekend before, during, and after, with many wanting to continue on with these runs for tradition reasons, closer to home, no to little travel etc, along with the concerns on higher fuel prices this summer, we have decided to cancel the event for this year.

We do have several thousands of dollars worth of brand new Sonic swag that was to be part of gift bags for the entrants, and other give aways during the event. We will be offering this to Sonic owners at no charge, first come first served till its all gone. This all was purchased with organizer dollars.

This consists of:
Sonic License Plates
Sonic logo stickers
Sonic embriodered patches
Sonic Key Chains
Sonic T-Shirts and Sweat Shirts
Sonic koozies
A Few Sonic Jackets

Those that are interested> email: [email protected]. We will advise what we have left, you choose what you want.
