Five weeks to go for the kick off of the 2013 season, things are shaping up to be an awesome yr so far. Time to start testing , and get the bugs out from over the winter. All the classes are shaping up and should be some great racing.

Frank, Thank who ever decided to keep the Randy Lineback light house award going. I saw it on your schedual and just wanted to personaly say thank you. Nice work SBI
MD

I agree great to keep the tradition going.

Will the race be live on the web???? Its been a long winter and cant wait to see some racing. Any new boats anyone want to share with us???

It will be streamed live.

Randy, You could watch it live from your cockpit!! Not coming? I am trying my best to get there. Waiting on ported heads and the ECM to get back.

Chris
Hope you can make it we don't plan on taking any prisoners

Last minute as usual. Is there anywhere I can find documented demographics for the Biloxi races in recent years? More specifically the spectator attendance and visitor influx to the city for past race weeks. Is there a tourism dept. or other in Biloxi that can be contacted for any info on this. Need it yesterday.

Chris,
I know SBI doesnt have any this is their first yr. But I bet Woody would have some, I can try and get a nuimber for you.

2 weeks to race day ....after that one right after the other.

Look forward to it.

We'll see u there

Frank:
This is not exactly correct...................OSS hosted this race with SBI in May of 2010. If you recall, that in 2010, SBI tried to join forces with OSS for a few select events for the season

I have been to this site a few times, and the spectator, poker run boaters and community exposure was outstanding in the past. I believe the local promoter ( Woody et al) does everything possible to make this a wonderful community event.

The Casino's on the water offer VIP viewing and packages for this race,,,,,,,,,

We (The Snowy Mountain Brewery) will be hosting a Fresh Micro-Brew Tasting event on Saturday afternoon,,,,,, Bring your taste buds ,,,,,,
