Need a Change
The shootouts are ok but running a Drag event with Offshore boats imo would bring new life to our sport. Besides specific classes you can have grudge, call outs, smack talk with double elimination. There’s talk of one contemplated being run in the fall on the Chesapeake, if the stars align.

They should have no problem making the 20. I will throw this out there though. The community supports the go fast boat events here pretty well. There is talk of the issues with boats running too fast for conditions, not obeying the no-wake zones, nighttime speed limit and last but not least, loud boats running late at night. Just keep these issues in mind when you are running up on the families in toons and other smaller craft. Me, I love it, I have a ring side seat on the dock.

I was also thinking that I had a "gotcha" with the Support Our Troops run at Lake of the Ozarks. It was originally started by the guys at MidwestBoatParty.com in 2008. I love watching all of the runs from our dock, but one of my favorites is the Cigarette Rendezvous that will have as many 200 fire breathing big blocks thundering down the lake together. Not exactly sure when it started, though.
Skip had I think two Cig rendezvous runs down in Florida years ago. PBCs first Cig rendezvous was in ‘15 I believe.
