I was asked to post this by a friend that's involved with the Shootout.

---------------------------------------------------------

We just made great stride with the Missouri State Water Patrol and the local Noise Ordinance at LOTO in 09

Historically, they have given tickets to boaters around the Shootout weekend at LOTO

I am in charge of Racers Communications for the shootout, and we just closed negotiations with the water patrol,,,, And all BOATS REGISTERED FOR THE LOTO SHOOTOUT, BEFORE WEDNESDAY AUGUST 26TH

Will be exempt from the noise issues for Thursday, Friday , Saturday and Sunday at LOTO

On thursday morning, a list of all registered boats will be given to the Water Patrol Captain.

So we encourage all boaters to pre register there boat for the shootout( .....on line), this was a very positive cooperation with the Missouri Water Patrol
