when is the big cat this year????

The weekend of August 17th (I think), but I know it is in August.

Big Cat Poker Run is August 7-8

SCOPE is August 27-29 so don't break your boats before the SCOPE Poker Run!!!! :D

Hey RY.

" Delta Sport Boats Poker Runs(two a year) and the Poker Run West event in Lake Tahoe!"

When are these and are they run by SFO?

Lofty,
Sorry for the late response. Neither of these events are run by SFO (San Francisco Offshore).

Delta Sport Boat Yacht Club is a seperate club (with many of the same members) that is run by John Bettencourt. John can be reached on 209-481-9368.

The Lake Tahoe event is put on by Poker Runs West (Chris Ayres 916-652-7022). I know there have been some anti-PRW posts on this site, but this event as well as Bridge to Bridge are excellent events and I highly recommend them.

Our schedule for this year is as follows (remember we have two boats, one please, one race)

April 17 POPRA Delta Rally
May 1 Big Rat Run by Poker Runs West
May 15 Tony Steak and Beans Poker Run by Delta Sport Boat
June 5 Shasta Poker Rum by Poker Runs West
June 26 Tahoe Poker Run by Poker Runs West
July 25 Benecia Offshore Race by APBA Pacific Offshore
Aug 8 Big Cat Poker Run
Aug 15 Hunnington Beach Offshore Race by POPRA
Aug 29 SCOPE Poker Run
Sept 12 Pittsburg Delta Thunder Offshore Race by POPRA
Sept 18 Dash for Cash Poker Run by Delta Sport Boats
Oct 3 Venture Offshore Race by POPRA
Oct 16 APBA National Championships in St. Petersberg FLA
Nov 7-14 OSS/SBI World Championships in Key West
Nov 14-21 APBA World Championships in Key West

Talk about a busy boating season, I hope the wife is good with all of these dates.

Also it is a bummer that the Bridge to Bridge Shootout is the same weekend as the offshore race in Benecia. We would love to do both, but alas, racing comes first.

Hey thanks Rick. I'm sure I'll see you at one of these events. I'm somewhat new to this but plan on going to as many events as the pocketbook allows.
