Sounds like a very good deal! But got a question....Suppose you won, raced, and took 1st place. What about purse prize?

Smart, question. I am donating the boat and the winnings to Harrison Offshore so the race can take place.

Afterall Chris, no one races for the money. (there is none). We race for the fame, glory, girls and to kick Smitty's azz!:eek:

SHARKEY-IMAGES 03-26-2009 08:26 PM

What great idea !

Best of luck with it !

Cool idea Dean, that boat is a blast! But don't think you can use this as an excuse when you get your a$$ handed to ya!!!!

Now as part of the team are they expected to spend the day in the bilge making repairs getting ready for the race??? :angry-smiley-038:

Seeing the Michigan and it's Residents are in difficult shape Harrison Offshore made a decision to lower ticket prices to $100.00 dollars... this is our little way to help stimulate the economy :D

Yes that is right, Hotel, Race, Party, Trophies, Groupies all for $100!!!!!

Come on guys spread the word, we need the help.

A little background on Harrison Offshore. Our organization is reviving the Metro Beach Michigan race. This venue was host to some of the best racing in the history of Offshore during the 1970's and 80s.

Currently we are a small group of local racers and recieve help for the local businesses. The Metro Race is our near term project, but we are in the process of creating a charity that utilizes our communities love of the water and performance heritage. It will be called "Turn One Charitable Trust, A High Performance Charity". Our mission is to raise funds to benefit children's charities through the promotion of Powerboat, Auto, Motorcycle and Snowmobile Races, Poker Runs, Rallies and events.

This is the reason we need your help.

Great idea, guys! I just posted a story about this on the blog:

Worse case scenario,
I bought in and if I win I will come up with a plan to give away everything except the Hotel.

After all, I still need a place to stay.... ;)

That looks like it. It now has fresh motor and yellow paint. Still fast as hell. There is no more exciting ride than a fast bat boat. It is like a GSXR on the water.

Sounds like a good plan to me! :) But if you win, you deserved to be in the race! It's part of fun! :)

I have photography duties to take care of.

It is a responsibility I can't hand off when I have certain individuals and magazines that count on me to get them shots.... :drink:

I have plenty of years of Racing experience behind me.

I would rather give someone else a shot at it if I win! :ernaehrung004:

Sweet! Still, I like the idea of yours. I am only an hour and 10 minutes away from Harrison Twp since I live in Grand Blanc (just south of Flint)

If I had the camera ready earlier I could have got a good close up. I was heading down river during trials, only to be told to run along the shore at idle. Got close to st. Clair and they were get ready for the ski demo and made me move out toward the race area. Apparently they forget to tell you guys cause you did a couple of more laps. I was setting right near turn 4 and acutally had to cut inside of the turn bout to get out of the way. Awsome memory of the boats flying by about 30 foot away.

Wahoo ATV 04-09-2009 07:31 PM

Come on guys tell your friends that wanna see what it is like. This is going to your Harrison purse.

SHARKEY-IMAGES 04-09-2009 08:15 PM

Not only will they get to race the boat, keep in mind Performance Boats Magazine will be there to cover the event !
So there is always a possibility of getting in the mag too !!! :drink:
