[QUOTE=BillR;4254484]The following is not hype! Take this VERY SERIOUSLY,

The amount of registrations recently has been staggering. Add in the attending sponsors and verbal commitment from reliable trustworthy people - I am told that we are at or just over 50% sold out!!

You want to be in the best poker run on East Coast? You better sign up!! We are predicting to be at sold out capacity very very soon. This is NOT hype to get you to sign up!

I don't have any course / party / hotel details yet. They are still being set up. When details are available, they will be posted on our Facebook page and our website.[/QUOTE

BillR you must be a Used Car Salesman? Talk about pressure tactics, makes you sound desperate, just like last years thread.

Really!?! Not desperate at all!!
But you keep thinking that way, don't sign up early.

Just passing on info so others can make an educated decision. But I can stop passing on info too!

Wild Baja, not a pressure tactic at all.
Several people had to be turned away last year. There is limited docking at the marina. Bill R is doing his best to get the word out to all those interested. We are way ahead of last years numbers in terms of selling out, and its still January.
Sure yould like to see you and your crew come visit us!!!

There will be a fun run this year. Details are still in the works. Last year it was a big hit. Plan on it leaving around 11:00am on Friday and returning between 2:00pm or 3:00pm in the afternoon. Craig.

Thanks Rogman, you are an upstanding gentleman.

I have done runs all over the United States and actually did this run two years ago and met BillR for the first time, my first impression, what an arrogant +#%€*!]. For BillR to constantly claim that this is the best run on the EAST coast, is a bold statement to say with the high caliber of runs. I dont think he has ventured outside of this run.
I can name plenty that have more attendance without the PRESSURE tactics to sign up NOW NOW NOW!!! or you will miss out, these are grown adults and can read. I don't see this from the Florida Powerboat Club, Lake Lanier, Lake Cumberland, which all have a lot more than 75 boats entered.
In my opinion you need a new spokesperson without the used car mentality, buy now or it will be gone!

Just the truth. I'm glad I got a spot last year for hotel and in the poker run. Bill and everyone involved that I have met are great people and they put on a first class run for sure. They have also done many many runs all over.
