It doesn't matter where you are you still have boaters with no brains.
Here is the start of the Scope Poker run that is in the pacific ocean ( its a big ass bit of water by the way ) and i'm in the slow group but still didn't stop someone from passing within 10 feet of me going twice my speed and spraying us, absolutely no reason for this at all.

LOTO Desert Storm 1000 Islands Cumberland Texoma I can think of major incidents on all of them right off the top of my head. It pains me to type this, but I can't help but think about it. Why this grouping on lakes (both small and large); as compared to open water runs like FPC events, Chesapeake Bay, SCOPE, the Caribbean Islands... ?? There has been a ton of incidents at Destin they just don't always have camera crews on them. |

I do believe you are correct; as I did a little research.
However, 45 MPH was the speed limit on Lake Charlevoix during Boyne Thunder last year. That was followed about as long as the parade lap. As soon as we left Boyne City headed out; that didn't really didn't slow anyone down. More than a few boats were "checking out" between Boyne City and the Town of Charlevoix. |
i would say most of the incidents happen on the lakes because that,s where the majority of the runs are held,its like a certian percentage thing.

Do the majority of Poker Run Incidents happen on Lakes?
Having given this a lot of thought and after reading all the posts on this thread.
I have concluded that the majority of marine poker run accidents happen on the water:eekdrop: EDIT, that is not to say that this is a serious issue that should be addressed before it is legislated. |
