2002 Spring Heatwave Pokerrun in Havasu April 26th
 

Active Thunders come out to Havasu next weekend for the Heatwave Pokerun. Our 37 won't be ready for the spring run, we'll have to wait for the fall run in October. It would be great to see some Active Thunders make this run. I have attached a copy of a post from another thread providing info on the run. The links wont work as I copy/pasted them.

It's that time of year again, time for the biggest little poker run on the left coast. Kick off the season big time at the Spring Heatwave 2002.

Once again Lake Havasu will turn into the horsepower mecca of the universe on April 26 & 27, 2002. Last year this event drew over 200 boats from as far away as Italy, Florida and Maryland, so be sure to sign up EARLY, no registrations beyond 200 will be accepted. Perfect location, weather and water...what more could you ask for?

Rumor is there will be more OSO members at this run than at LOTO for the Memorial Day weekend challenge. We'll have to see.

Look below the flyer for all the details and registration links...

Man, I love Havasu, beautiful area, wish I could make it :( I will try next year, take care:D

Jassman,
That would be great. If you can't wait we have a run in the fall also, October 4.

I will still be sitting at the end of the dock watching!

Heat Wave
 

We just stuffed bags yesterday afternoon. After the final count, 167 pre-registered boats. That leaves us 33 for walk-ups and past history says we will "sell out" meaning 200 boats. If you have already pre-registered but still need to get some paperwork to us, fax it to me at 623-582-9050 before Wednesday afternoon. Otherwise you stand and wait in the long registration lines.
