For those of you that don't read Extreme Boats Magazine, there's a full page ad in this months issue inviting the fastest of the fast to an elite kilo run. This is not for offshore race boats, rather poker run and pleasure boats with all the comforts.

It's an APBA-UIM sanctioned event and records will be set in four new classes.

Performance Yacht mono - Gas
Performance Yacht cat - Gas
Performance Yacht mono - Turbine
Performance Yacht cat - Turbine

The kilo will be held on April 21 and 22 on Lake Crescent in Crescent City Florida. It's sponsored by AMF Racing, Extreme Boats Magazine and Turbine Marine Inc.

Hopefully, Dave Callan's new boat will be done in time and Bob Russell has shown interest in running there too, plus plenty of turbine boats.

More info and registration forms can be found at www.amfoffshoreracing.com.

There will be a non sanctioned "run what you brung" day on Friday for anyone who want to see how fast their boat. It will have the full Kilo setup with officials from Region 11 and safety teams including helocopter. Awards and trophies for the fastest. All boats must meet minimum safety requirements and rules and registration info is in the ad or check out www.amfoffshoreracing.com.
Like a LOTO shootout with Kilo timing equipment

Performance Yachts will attempt APBA/UIM records as well as Bass Boats and Pontoon boats

This event is not in any way associated with SBI/APBA offshore and no official records will be set

Did you check out the Poker Run Forum?

Little Creek Regatta/HRPA Chesapeake Bay Poker Run August 5-6th. The only multi-type boating event on the East Coast & maybe the country. Includes not only a poker run which includes separate performance AND cruiser/family boat courses. Performance course includes both inside and outside legs on the Atlantic. There's a sailboat race on the bay, and a fishing tournament. All the above type boaters in one event hanging out and partying on Friday & Saturday nights. Sponsors/supporters are definitely needed. 93% of gross proceeds goes to the St. Judes Childrens Research Hospital. Great cause, great fast growing event.

Check the Poker Runs forum for more info on "Jammin' on the James". Seventy boats currently registered (80 boat limit) from SC to PA (starting point is Richmond, VA). We already have Baja as a sponsor, but more $$ means more prizes. Call me if you have any questions, or check out PRA Magazine for a 3-page article on our run...
