Seriously, I completely understand your position and it is a noble one.
Now to the question at hand how do I get my hands on that bad azz camera you have? Just kidding I would not want to carry that giant optic all day. I would have to reserve a seat in the boat for it....laughing.
I'm will be going and check it out as a spectator maybe even do a review on it. However, as a spectator the review would be brief versus the ones I normally do as a participant. Then again I would love to participate because sitting and watching is not my style.
Wondering how many people will be attending. The other site has not released names of the racers because of possible retaliation for attending an event. Shaking my head sounds very 3rd grade if people resort to that type of tactic...certainly wouldn't work with me.
I also would like to see the purse monies to be paid out in each class. That alone is a motivator for many to participate as well as what it costs to put a boat in the water. [Namely, registration fees and APBA monies...etc.]
It would be interesting to hear from members what their thoughts are on the event.
