Have you considered bringing your family to Austin for the Heatwave? would love to see you there. you can be in an awsome full length DVD. Lake conroe may have a run with TOPPS? Travis may be prettier?

Good News!


The Pre-registration and interest has been awesome!


Bad News!

Although the response has been fantastic the support has been less then supportive!!!!

The cost to do a Run of this magnatude is off the charts between Poker Run/Event Insurance to protect everyone involved including the sponsors and the Helicopter/Video crew etc. I have already spent several Thousand Dollars out of my own pocket and i am not seeing much help Monetarily unfortunatly in the near future from our sponsors that promised to help to be able to continue advertising etc.

One of the perspective sponsors recently decided they would not sponsor the poker run unless they could make money from the participants and be included for free!:( Not even willing to help pay for the them to be added as additional insured on the policy to protect themselves.

We decided we would pass on their location as a stop as this option is not a possibility with the expenses and we can get support elsewhere. Problem is that Person proceeded to call all our other location stops and tell them they should not sponsor the Poker Run either making it very frustrating and hard to believe this would go on. Bottom line is Greed getting in the way here with one person saying if they can not play for Free then they will cause all the trouble they can and get as many people they can not to support the event.

Unfortunate that something that is for (Kids Charity) and a great run bringing boats from all over the country is borderline on not being able to happen due to This A$$hole! and that establishment.

Bottom line is in order to do things the right way and have the things like Helicopters etc this money does not grow on trees and we need support other then the registrations

I do not want to Cancel this run, but if things do not change with support from our Sponsors and LTPA's involvement I can not afford to continue it out of pocket!

Cedar Creek Lake is Very close to Corsicana. Check out the events section of the Cedar Creek Powerboat Association

Clay or anyone in the know,
the LTPA usually has a season opener party,
last year was at Johnny Finns,
the party scheduled in May is for the texas heat wave run,
does this mean that LTPA will not have a pre season party ?
Thanks..

I will email Steve Webb, the president.

They are having an opening season party the way it looks and I think it is listed on the LTPA website! End of April
