Shootout versus Drag Boat Racing in Nor Cal

[GotHalos]

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 you constructive ideas and input, thanks...

Why not both?

Yes, 1/4 mile with officials and safety personnel - class structure too...

Possible, just want to see what the demand is. Thank you for the reply...

Nutz, just saw this and tried to vote but it was already closed. I sincerely hope you are able to pull something together. Big Wake looked like it was fun but with Seafair and TriCities closer to me, it's easier to stay home and get my hydro fix.

BUT, when you move into v-drives, jets (and even outboards) drags and shootouts, it's a different story. A group up here in Washington have been trying to get some drag racing started in state but as you being a professional can understand, not an easy thing to do for some general boaters/racers.

Good luck and I for sure will be watching for your announcement...........john
