Re: TPA poker run
 
I was thinking about going but found out you have to be a member of TPA to go on the run, Clear lake area is a nice place for a poker run, I had my 35 lightning down there for the TOPPS run earlier in the year

Chris00011 08-26-2005 09:25 PM

Re: TPA poker run
 
H2X, who told you that? You do NOT have to be a TPA member to go on the poker run.

TPA captains $50
non TPA captains $60, not a big difference
and all passengers are $30.

check the website www.texaspowerboatassoc.com

Chris00011 08-27-2005 02:28 PM

Re: TPA poker run
 
H2xmark,

Tra with the 40' Baja "Stretchin Out" said hello and he's doing the run also, so come on.

Re: TPA poker run
 
I am planning to have a friend there with a Helicopter to run chase and take pics of all the boats. I've talked to Jeff on this and I'm sure everyone will want photos/video of their boats running at speed.

If this is of interest to you, please feel free to call me so that I can confirm with the owner of the heli.

Janet and I are in! :D

This run is going to be SO effing incredible!! I just got the confirmation on the chase helicopter and have talked with many wild boaters that are coming from all over!!

This will be the event to be sure you have lots of batteries for your cameras!!

Bring your best attitude and all the desire for fun!

Yes you can pay when you get here, be at the Seabrook Beach Club by 8pm Friday if you want in on the calcutta, if you just want to do extra hands and the run then you can show up Saturday morning at the beach club by 10am. Any ?'s check www.texaspowerboatassoc.com, or call 713-899-5998(Jeff Eubanks). Thanks and hopefully we'll see you this weekend.
