Shooters Shootout Cancelled for 2008 at LOTO
#61
I've never been to it, but I'm always looking forward to reading about it. I would think some local, or national company would want to step up as the main sponsor. I know I would tend to do business more with someone who took on the financial, and logistical work of keeping this event running. Good luck fellows, I truly hope it all works out.

nO PRoblem we can get the no wake moved back, I have the parking area on 54 highlighted on the map. Top siders has the police direct traffic after they close, since we will be adding the police dept to the charity I'll go down and talk to the police chief tomorrow about them helping with traffic, shuttle is already takin care of, we also dont want people to have to drive on rock winding roads under the influence, so the shuttle will not only help with traffic problems, but keep people safer on the roads, We are putting the Performa together right now It looks like if we can get a few title sponsors we will be able to put it together at dog days, but we still need to get the petition started, Steve please get one started here if you have in any interest in sponsoring the races, we have to show we have committed people in place to get the races. was on the lake today, took pics of several areas along the race route, will post tonight, have 2 committment for boat manufacturers as sponsors so far. PM me if anybody has interest in being a sponsor, thanks jim

You should find someone with Budweiser connections and they could sponsor it under there Monster energy drink. They seem to be wanting to get the name out there. They sponser Bernstiens funny car and maybe this would be right up there ally. Maybe the bar owner knows someone or someone from the Bud Select team.

If memory serves, there is a shopping center thats nearly vacant with a lot of parking to the east of the bridge on 54. Shuttle service from this area and/or the Lake Regional Hospital perhaps.
I'm dreaming here, but would'nt it be neat to be able to use the north side of the two lanes on the Glaize Bridge for spectators. Too much traffic I know but what a view that would be.

The downside of Dog Days will be parking for cars. It was not necessarily good at Shooters, but it will be worse at Dog Days. But if they can figure out a solution for that, it will be a great location.

I would think they would be able to turn this to a profitable event. I think we paid $100 for my boat to run at Loto. If you race with SBI the entry fee is about $1500 (I think thats what I use to pay). A Poker run is from $450 to $850 per boat. If each boat that ran was charged a decent entry fee equal to the entry fees of other events, That would be a huge amount of revenue in itself. Not sure how many boats in total ran in the even this year but I think that in itself would double what the past revenue has been and It wouldn't cost the spectators or the municipality anything.

oh I would fit in the under 26 missing parts my fee you give me a 100
