Its not up to SCSC if they race there, its up to the City Council/Casinos and Tourism Entertainment Committee or something like that out of Vegas. Someone(s) decided at some point to go a different route. The first year the boats weren't there they had Mexican Street Festival instead. Then they have had outdoor concerts, all sorts of different ideas. SCSC has been in talks with them before about bringing the boats back, but so far they have gone in another direction.
What they do and the "theme" of the River Days is decided by them, not some boat club or promoter. Too bad because we like that race. It was a little too close time wise to Burley Idaho, and its always been hotter than hell when we have been there, but it is a cool place to race.





Ron Hill couldn't make that happen if he was given written instructions. The man struggles to remember how to tie his shoes in then morning and needs a video refresher just to get dressed.
Bobby, I was under the understanding that part of the reason was because the drivers and owners weren't too fond of this track due to the way the beach was set up for spectators as well as the strong current? I wouldn't know, they haven't had one since we've been racing.
