New Poker Run in Long Island in May !!
 

Reading the info on the Long Island Stampede makes it sound like a great event may be brewing. Anybody familiar with the stops?

I see the dates are 5/15-517 so the weather should be warm enough.

I know Kismet and Braccos

lots of fun places

I want to wish luck to Long Island Powerboat Club for organizing this.

very much needed. And we have ar least 4 that I know of - powerboat manufacturers on Long Island

Predator Powerboats is my favorite of course
