Here is the info for the Destin worlds, Which will feature boats from OSS, OPA, and POPRA. If your looking for race action, this will be the spot along with some great parties. Closer to home and easier on the wallet.

Destin is a real nice place to visit. But nothing tops KW for all out fun.

The racing will be better in Destin, but how long can you sit there and watch boats go around in a circle w/o being in one of them. It gets boring

KW is where its at. No one can dispute that

I went to Key West in January of 05. We went in the off season so, it wasn't that bad.

I take it they are splitting up the races from what I see. Are the races just about the same dates but in different places? Duval street is BAD A**! We stayed at a holiday inn or something on the opposite of Duval. It was great trip. We drove from houston and had a 10 day vacation.

This time were flying down. We found tickets for 99 bucks a person to miami and then we were renting a car and driving down to the keys. The wife has found rooms from 90 to 125 a night. Were trying to planas far ahead as possbile to ease the last minute expense stuff.

I'm thinking the KEYS considering I have not had a vacation in a while. :D

29 Scarab,

Look forward to seeing you in key west! With the races going on and the 160 or so Poker runners(FPC) that are tied in with the races now, I am sure you wont be disappointed with the number of boats. Plus as a lot of people said, "Its Key West" you just cant replace it, no matter how its sugar coated.

Look us up when your there.

Does anyone understand what the Florida Poker Run boats have to do with the Key West races?

Are they racing????

TeamTaboo 09-18-2006 07:28 PM

Re: World Finals Dates in Key West
 
They are getting to run the course on race day in some way, maybe with a pace boat not sure yet.

That should be interesting.

Hmm..... sounds to me like JC needs to get the boat count up to collect his fee from the CR. Bring in 150 Awesome PR boats, slap some #s on them, run a few laps and JC collects his fee.

what a country

Im sure the show will be great whichever venue you choose
