Attention West Coast Boat Racers. Boat Racing is coming back to Northern Nevada. A tentative date has been set for August 18th and 19th. This looks like a free weekend for Region 10 and 12 and also does not interfere with Nationals. And school will not be in yet for most of the younger drivers. The race will be held in Sparks, Nevada at the "Sparks Marina". Sparks is just east of the Reno. The Sparks Marina is one of the best layouts I have seen for Spectators to watch a race. The Sparks Marina was an old gravel pit just north of I-80. It filled in with water from the Truckee River (south of I-80) that overflowed in the 1997 flood. The place NCOA used to race at was Paradise Park over 20 years ago. That's where all these pictures were taken. Paradise was redesigned 15 years ago and cannot accommodate racing. Attached is a picture where I drew a 4,100 long course. I am thinking the course will be set closer to a ¾ mile course. The sidewalk around the lake is 12 feet above lake level.
The usual Region 11 classes will be tentatively be hosted. More information will be posted as this event comes together.

Just drive by Sparks Marina yesterday. Looks like a fun litle pond with a sandy beach. I live 33 miles up the mountain from there so i truly hope you can make this happen. There are loads of fun places in Reno at night, and world famous Hash House A Go Go is 1 mile away. If you get some classes together, I would be willing to offer prizes of beer for placement.
