Looking forward to them James. Don't worry we'll be in the back with ya. Last year we joined in at the 1st stop.....great shots of everyone running and a constant flow of boats to show the way after Macklin left me in his wake!!

Macklin

John, you have to admit that was a most enjoyable slow cruise down the Rivah!

But the ego took over...until Diane's screaming in my ear finally registered.

Well, since we have stolen James' thread...and I'm bored...I'll relate exactly why Diane hates poker runs. It's not the poker run experience, but the conglomeration of boats she hates. Heck, she started telling me to speed up towards the end of the summer after I got seat time in this boat. We both love it!

The first poker run we ran together (wouldn't you know it) was one of the first HRPA runs. We came screaming out of Little Creek Inlet with everyone bunched up real close...like they all are. I noticed our charter member Rob come from port across my wake within a few feet, pass me to starboard and then cut back in front of me by a few feet. At about 60 mph! Focher!!

Not the best go fast boat driver he was. Sold his Checkmate not long after that and bought a fishing boat. Then he and his wife Kim, who was doing boat detailing at the time, went on to form Hammerhead Boat Works...aka...Frenzy.
