Gonna be tough. I really love LOTO, but the Destin run right before, and Cumberland(which I have never attended) right after, plus my BIRTHDAY blowout in Vegas a few weeks later.
Maybe possible, but not likely. Definitely gonna be a sore spot.

That's just one of the new excuses these days. Someone always slowed down to wait, thought it was over, got lost, had the wrong props, or drain plugs, etc..... so congrats on having none of the above AND a beautiful new boat! 
Racing/running around with your buddies at a poker run is no different than any typical Saturday for us. It's just a fresh crop of boats to play with at a different venue usually. Why would anyone want a fast boat or car if you can't go do what it's built to do, ESPECIALLY with a few others?? The actual poker cards have never been the reason most people attend. They're just a fun added bonus to a boating rally, and buying extra hands or draw cards earn more money for the charity...that's it. They have rallycross races all the time at car events for guys that never take them out of the garage. Same goes for motorcycle rallys. Enough whining about guys playing with their toys.

In all seriousness, we missed having you there, bro!

I missed being there as well. I've definitely taken the boat to some great runs though. Florida this Fall/Winter/Spring should be even better.
