Well, Ted Kolby, Rod Zapf, Ross Wallach and myself met for lunch today, Ted bought, to go over the final plans for the Blue Water Casino 300...
Seems we'll have about 31 entries....about what we had last year. After last year's race, we really felt we'd have many NEW people off the street (River) come and run..It appears, that what we have is a "HARD CORE" group of boat racers, many ran last year or have run in the past...and a few co-drivers that are new, or at least haven't raced a ton...
We have at least three "IRON MEN" who plan to drive the whole race...
All plans are pretty well complete....the race is a GO!!!! (Prize money $10,000 will be paid in CASH)....
Look at Division V: John Lane/John Roth boat 48.....John Lane dad raced Parker, his number 48, was Dick Sherrer's MOD U number and was a past 9 hour winner...John Roth has a ton of time in a Stocker MOD VP, but hasn't raced much..
Boat 86: John Soares..driving it himself...John's dad and brother raced the Enduro many times....and John himself raced it in MOD VP..
Boat 34: Chad Hill and Pat Bowman.....Chad and Pat drove their MOD VP for the first time at Parker last year, and hav not been in the boat since....Though Chad has raced Formula Lights all season...Pat plans to drive, this boat, after the Enduro in Nostalgia, at the Thanksgiving Regatta, 2006...
It appears we only have three boats in Division v, as John Lane tells me Al James is going to run Division II, NO NOSE CONE, with his boat....
Point, I was trying to make, though, there will be a mix of drivers, with salt and pepper experience.....but trust me, when it is over, everyone will have had a great time...
Ross says he has like 12 rooms, that he can let go, if you want to come and watch, patrol or race...
POWERBOAT MAGAZINE will be covering this ENDURO....
Questions:
Is that V-8 Outboard on the 21 Daytona running???
Is Lance Haselrig going to get an engine together?
Is John Bonicci and Wooten getting their boat together???
