Are they doing different classes for speeds or anything like that?

The fast boats usually have a start and then everyone else. It was more of a necessity when it was 125-150 boats. With the run just returning to its roots I think it will be a few fast boats and then a lot of folks at 60-70mph for the rest. It is a fantastic event on a great body of water.

Friday night , after you enjoy a meal of EXTREME WINGS , and some adult beverages you are invited to go next door to Metro Park and enjoy a Starry Nights concert. 5 time grammy winner Christopher Cross will be the headline act that night. Take a lawn chair , blanket, or beach towel and sit under the stars and enjoy the music. There will be stands set up to purchase cocktails while you enjoy the show.

No worries Nate. The key is to pick your lane and get where you wanna be. YOur boat and mine has pretty much the same speed and handling. Stick with me.. you get a good spot at the lunch stop.. lol Kinda like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ALXDCgcTg

Only one month to go till the original Jacksonville River Rally returns. Get your hotel reservations in before all of the special room rates are booked. Also, make sure you get us your boat registrations for the run. Dock spaces are filling fast, so the sooner you get your registration in, the better your dock space is going to be. We do not want anyone to not have a space.
