I've found that the average modern day boaters don't even know what flatbottom boats are! In fact, I pulled up at the sandbar a good 10 years ago with my buddy Greg Sorenson in his Hondo runner and people were asking us what the hell kind of boat this was. They had never seen one before!!!!
I've had to prove with old literature (more times than I care to mention) articles proving flatbottoms once raced out in the open ocean! Most people don't even believe a flatty can survive on Havasu much less ripping a catalina trip.
Back in the day, whether it was ski racing, endurance racing or simply having fun performance boating- people were less needy, lower maintenance and just plain tougher IMO.
My dad used to tow his boats to the river occasionally uncorked and on slicks (pulling a 4.56 gear)! lol The good old days!

I was just informed that GN92 is Paul "fast lane" Fitzgerald. Makes sense that number would be on his boat. Should be a boat to watch.

So I take it you either haven't seen the signs, or you are a non conforming rebel. Per the "race director" stay off the docks and beaches during the race. Designated viewing areas only are acceptable.
