Last year they paid the number one speed in each class and a overall top speed. This year they are talking about paying more than just top speed in each class. Not sure if its 2 or 3 positiions. That way Seltzer cant win all the money.

Glen,
You can have as long a run as you want, the course will have an entry buoy (probably marked with a boat) a series of red buoys to keep you lined up and a yellow buoy to mark where you should be at your top speed. There is a wide creek at the start, and you could easily run for more than a mile before that. This gets more complicated every year, but not a lot of rules. I believe everyone is in agreement that you must wear a life jacket.
