Wicked Performance Marine should have been there!
I think they left here on Thursday.
As far as the banners and advertising, unless the New Jersey based club "OPA" had volunteers in Algonac prepared ahead of time to get them up, it wouldn't get done until they arrived out there if at all.
Last year a week or 2 before the Point Pleasant Beach, NJ race I grabbed a bunch of the posters and hit many of the local businesses to place them in their windows. Still, even that is short notice.
As soon as something is printed, I will be happy to get them out again this year.
The advertising and promotions for some reason gets lost in OS for some race sites. You would kind of hope the local Chamber of Commerces could help out in that dept.
Another thing to consider, if dates aren't established soon enough, then they miss out on other printed materials from hotels who print up events scheduled for their season.
First thing my wife noticed when I received my confirmation from Ocean City. The brochure had nothing about the race on it. My guess is that it already went to print prior to getting the Coast Guard Permit. Sometimes it just doesn't always fall into place.

I was only going by what was advertised by the Algonac Chamber of Commerce website.

I hate to be a ***** but..............I brought my boss and his wife up with me to that race, they thought it was some kind of joke..........Dont get me wrong i have gone to races since i was 12-13 years old..............But really!!!!!!!!!! 7-8 boats on saturday no vendors in the viewing area, a small beer tent sponsered by the local liones................Plus all the old guys had fishing tournament shirts on.......If i did not no anything about boat racing, i would have thought it was a coulple of guys out with fast boats.........
