No 1st Wave this year.

Markel canceled all "ultra" policies of which there were 12.They have also reviewed and canceled several DCBs and other brands.They will only insure boats up to 120 mph. Gary Smith was told that this was a result of the DCB accident at Desert Storm last year that got them to re-assess there risk.
The poker run this year has NO first group. All boats will be let loose to proceed to the 5 card stops that will all be open in any order they choose after they exit the channel to the north.
As far as the shootout, there is insurance for all participants thru Wozencraft insurance. All boat owners insurance policies have exclusions of coverage in timed or speed events so Wozencraft has a master policy in place for the participants.
Mike Bobbitt, Don London, Jon Roth and Gary Smith will be spectators. Gary does plan to be at the street fair on display but doesn't know about the others.

This is all pulled from another site. Very interesting news considering I go to DS to watch these Big Boys run. Not having them there makes it just another holiday weekend with all the crazies.
Is it going to be like Monsters Bash where you pull up to the front and a few people go at one time? Or just everyone goes at one time? I know 2 years ago, the DS poker run we all went in groups based on our speed category. I wonder if it will still be in groups but based on speeds less than 120 mph?
