Welcome to www.hotboat.com Let us know if you would like a formal poll.

I would like very much to do a formal poll, with the question stated
Which would you be more likely to attend (in Nor Cal):
1.) Shootout (1/4 mile with classes and prize $)
2.) Drag Boat Racing ( Local Boats - Hosted by local sanctioning body )
3.) Combination of Both

Thank you for the reply and I appreciate the consideration...

Poll has been created. I made it a 30 day poll, but we can change that if you'd like. Good luck, would be interested to hear more publicly or privately.

Details for the event will be ironed out by Mid December, with the venue and date already secured. We want to bring what is in demand hence the polling and questions. The Entertainment element is fairly straightforward , great music on a floating stage. The competition side is a bit more challenging as it needs to appeal to the masses enhancing the whole concept of this weekend.

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.

It always comes down to supply and demand, cost versus outcome. Ideally we are looking at Friday as set-up day with Sat & Sun event days ( June 6 - 8, 2014 Tentative).

If the body of water is large enough for a TFH to safely shut down, get with Lucas and make this a series stop. CA needs a race next year

I would be willing to go to an event with either. It depends on the date and location. The dates look great! June is a slower month.

I look forward to getting the details of the location! Good luck in your planning! I'm already excited!

I spoke with Ken @ LODBA and this would defiantly be a consideration in the near future. We would like to iron out the kinks and improve the infrastructure by getting a few events under our belt before bringing the big boys...Thank you for the reply
