Coming straight outta the pulpit that is the bolster seat of one of the prophet Reggie's finest creations, with throttles and steering wheel in hands...it's your most Reverend LIMITER. After a few months of silence, the Reverend speaks with joy to those who receive this message of most excellent and effluvient information regarding the upcoming Chicago Poker Run! His message is as follows:



My fellow sun-and-speed worshipping denizens of the watery realms, I come to you this day in the spirit of the warmest and longest days of our year...the days which we yearn for each winter and cherish each time the sun graces us with her highest arc...SUMMERTIME.



It is with this ebulent feeling that I convey the following information regarding the pinnacle event on the calendar of Chicago powerboating, i.e. The Chicago Poker Run, which takes place July 18th and 19th at East Chicago Marina. This year will follow the celebrated tradition that has been established since the inception of our Club run three years ago: go boating and have a GREAT time, while raising money for Children's Memorial Hospital.



We now come to the crux of our sermon...the BIG PRIZE! This year, one lucky (and WINNING) boater will exchange a simple assorment of wax-papered cards for a ONE-YEAR LEASE at the prestigious ONE MARINA PLACE rackominium complex in Florida! In addition to a cash prize, this lucky personage and his/her family will enjoy such luxuries as a Travel Concierge, on-site certified Mercruiser mechanics, clubhouse priviledges and a "7 Star" elite powerboating lifestyle. Minimum value for this prize has been placed at $12,000 for up to a 55' space! More info is available at www.onemarinaplace.com.



The time has come, my watery flock, to SIGN YO BUTTS UP! The $550 entry fee only lasts until June 15th, when it goes up to $600! Save some scratch for the Resorts Casino gaming table by signing up early at www.chicagopowerboatclub.com.



Now go, my children, and feast upon the waves. Keep your tabs up, your drives out, and your throttles DOWN! See you upon the water!



-The Rev. Limiter

Thats Great, but in case you haven't noticed , We live in Illinois. Hope we have a winner from Fla. or someone who has alot of time on their hands

I think they call it "snow birds".

Many people in chicago have they boat brought down to Florida in the winter. If I win, guess where my boat will be. The only thing that I did not like about winter boating in Florida was the salt water clean up and launching. Everything is totally handled.

Mine was down there all winter and even though I had to travel back and forth I got to use the boat a hell of a lot more than I am this summer.
