H1 Unlimited boats will not be coming back to Folsom Lake this year

[gn7]

Well we are going to find out this year.... The same promoter is doing an event minus the H1's this year. https://www.facebook.com/BigWakeWeekend . We'll see if it draws the 30,000 people the H1's did.

Hard to say. But I bet he makes a lot more money. Takes one hell of lot of spectators to pay for those unlimited. They think they are worth a million dollars a day. That's why there are so few of them, and why there are so few races. Very few promoters are willing to pay them what they think they are worth.

Is that really what they want? A million?

Still can't believe how low water levels are up there, that's crazy.

The promoter did an exit poll last year and the majority wanted drag boats in nor cal over the H1's. You can't compare crowds from Folsom to Camp Far West, very different venue.

I'm not sure if I'm buying that. I was there everyday...I didn't get asked. When the H1's raced everyone watched, when the other boats raced people hit the pits of the H1's or the beer garden.

Being a State Park, I am sure the fees to rent Granite Bay at Folsom Lake is pricey also.

The state parks are pure low life muggers.
For example Puddingstone. They not only charge the club/promoter a hefty fee for the use of the water, they charge at the gate for every car entering the park, that is independent of the gate fee to the races. So you get to pay twice to watch a race there.
AND THEY CHARGE THIS TO THE RACERS THEMSELVES!!!! The very people that are 100% responsible for the HUGE increase in the gate.
So they not only get unbelievably more people thru the gates then a normal weekend, that they are allowed to "legally" rape, but they charge the very people that brought those people to the gates to get raped.
