***2010 Pirate Run****
In light of current economic factors the Seneca Power Boat Association has voted to Postpone the 2010 Pirate Run. The members of SPBA felt it would be in the best interest of the club to "regroup" at which point a determination will be made regarding the future of the Pirate Run. 
I will be sure to keep everybody posted.

Sad to hear. I have been attending this event every year and it was always a good time. Have rooms at the Rainbow all set. Guess I will have to plan on something else. The "Middle Finger Lakers" will miss the event.
What will happen to organized cooler races??

This is very sad news indeed. In memoriam of this event, I have hoisted black thongs from each our wenches that are flying at half-mast in front of my house for the rest of the month.
Neither my neighbors, nor my wife are very amused. But they don't understand how sad this is.
The season just won't be the same without this run - I was bummed weather drove my crew away this past season and was looking forward to the 2010 run.
Guess those black thongs will have to be used as prop covers now....not sure how much good they'll do though.

will try, it can't be on a race weekend. The Pirate run was just right for us to be in New York for 2 weeks then home for Sarasota. Plus we have family in Seneca Falls.

I have received a few phone calls regarding the Pirate's Run being postponed for 2010. There appears to be some genuine sadness in the air
I must say that both PREZ and I are xtremely disappointed that we can put this event on for this coming June 25th and 26th.
Simply put, there were certain requirements that weren't being met, and probably wouldn't get met during this coming years event, to ensure the best event possible, with the best service possible, in turn ensuring returning participants that would minimize our financial risk. Last years event was on the edge, partly due to the economy, partly due to the bad weather, and partly due to less than expected event service.
However, with that being said, I did hear a rumor going around about some social gathering on that same weekend (by coincidence), at the same location, with some of the same uncontrollable folks, partaking in some of the same refreshments, entertainment, and fun........... Maybe someone else knows more about this .......
