I'll be keeping an eye on that date. I used to keep my prev boat in My River Home, boated pool 26 and just loved it there.
Was there the 2nd week of june but weather spoiled our boating.
Fixxxer22, we'll have to get together sometime as were in the same pool. I am pretty new to the area as I just recently moved up here from pool 26. I'm the only Nordic up here so you shouldnt be able to miss me.

I think this is the first year that it benefits the Backstoppers, but in the 1990's the DSRA organized a shootout about every year for Make-a-Wish Foundation. It was a great time. I ran in it most every year in my Talon 22. It was at several different locations on pool 26. Spectators could anchor all along the run. No heavy hitters there like the LOTO shootout. More of your typical hot rod, daily driver types...

Is it a shoot out or a course?

In the past it was a straight shot radar run about a 1/2 mile long. They would record your top speed. Here is a pic when it was held in front of Lake Center Marina.

Is it still going to be a half-mile? This could be fun! Is it from a dead stop?
