Shootout versus Drag Boat Racing in Nor Cal

**41Live!** · 11-05-2013, 10:30 PM

Hi all,

I'm a seasoned promoter conducting an "interweb" unofficial poll. I've secure a cool venue for June (announcement coming in Mid December) with top tier entertainment on a floating stage, Camping, VIP Hospitality Area, Vendor Midway and general good times. My question is, is the demand higher for a good old fashioned "Shootout" with prize $$$ (thanks for the idea RW) or sanctioned drag racing? No jokes and I really appreciate all your constructive ideas and input, thanks...

Welcome 41Live! I don't recall being asked to entertain

Personally, I love a good shootout! But, the races are always so much fun too! As previously suggested is there an option to do both? Shootout on day 1 and races on days 2&3? That way you'll have a big turn out all three days.

IMHO shootouts are more fun to watch......there is much less "Down Time" and more action. Don't get me wrong Drags are way cool and fun to watch but there is a lot of down time and with a shootout pretty much anyone can participate and have fun!!

If it's a topspeed shootout I would say do both. This would bring big and small boats together that would increase the size of the event. Win Win
