Shootout versus Drag Boat Racing in Nor Cal

[GRADS]

Ahhh so many questions.....

So Big Wake Weekend at Folsom is dead?

Is this going to be at Oroville? Only place that I know of that has camping and floating stages.

If you're going to do a shootout, which I would prefer, there is no way you're going to get the big names and big boat owners to "camp out". That's a little more jet boat style.

If you do a shootout why not try to revive something like the Bridge to Bridge on the Sac. river?

I take it the Hydroplanes are not going to be part of it this year?

Thank you for the input, we need a few more weeks before we can reply to your inquiries. There are so many factors when it comes to promoting this type of event and even fewer venues available for many different reasons. We have a great foundation and a venue with lots of potential...stay tuned and thanks again...

Your avatar photo is outstanding btw :

My preference as a spectator would be shootout. Drags kinda drag along sometimes plus you need near ideal conditions throughout.

Looks like only 7 people have voted. We need more people. I'm surprised, usually this crowd has no problem telling us what they think. Come on peeps let's get moving!

We need a few more weeks before we announce the details. Right now we are in the process of negotiating with the venue to firm up the date and the partnership arrangement. Secondly we are compiling the demand (based on forum polls and input from the boating community along with our sponsors) to construct the competition side of the event weekend. Personally I would like to see a combination of "Wild West Shootout" and solid drag boat racing with a reputable sanctioning body. In addition maybe some PWC racing to lure in the younger demographic. We need to combing culture (vendors, games, activities, boat show) sport (boat racing) and entertainment ( good music good variety). We will need support from the various clubs and also need cooperation from the different boating categories with a willingness to play in the sand box together...Thank you again for the interest, please feel free to send a PM also...
