I was hoping someone would chime in that had a seat available but... Can't make any promises but we will do everything we can to get you a ride, had some guys looking for riders last year so I'm confident someone will have room but again, I can't guarantee anything!

Appreciate it. I will be coming up from Virginia. I may have a buddy coming up in his 10 meter fountain if he does the run but his boat is full.

I know this is a bit of a hijack but just saw this morning that the spirit of Qatar is installing new engines. They're going to have 4000 more horsepower than my way did last year

Brad and Erika? Come on down, we'll find you a seat! Great weekend for a great cause!!

They are running at LOTO Shootout next weekend

[drpete3]

Yes they are

It's unclear to me if they started their testing with the new engines yesterday for it will happen today

[jonesn']

Even though the boat was designed and built for an "easy swap" of the two different motors I imagine its still a full days worth of rigging, I suspect they will begin testing sometime today...

[CBlakeNS]

Brad and Erika? Come on down, we'll find you a seat! Great weekend for a great cause!!

Yeah Brad and Erika! Should see them on Sunday and will figure out plans to see if they are going and what the deal is.

[jonesn']

Sounds good Blake, let us know if we can help in any way!!

Tim is trying to confirm one last card stop location but its basically the same run as the previous two years...leave MHC at 11 and run up the ICW to Oriental, then on to Persimmons in New Bern(lunch stop), back down the river to Beaufort for two card stops, then back to Jacks for the final card and option to purchase additional hits...the blackjack option will have one stop in Beaufort and final card at Jacks! The poker run is 100 miles+/- round trip!

For those entering the radar run, please keep in mind we treat it as a race with regards to safety so you MUST have a helmet, racing jacket, and operational VHF radio to participate. It is a closed course including patrol boats and med boats/divers.

You CAN pre-register by emailing your forms to Holly at jackswaterfrontevents@gmail.com for both poker and radar runs, all of the registration info is on the website
www.lookoutshootout.com

For slip availability and trailer storage options please contact Tim Grimes at 252-241-6455.

We look forward to seeing everyone in four weeks!!

I didn't think I was going to be able to make it down for this, but alas the winds blew in my direction so I am coming down. Unfortunately my wife and I will be travelling without our boat. I will pony up $400 for fuel and food for anyone who will consider having us as passengers on their boat for the poker run. Please PM for contact information.

Thanks,

Matt

[ROGMAN]

I'll be there. Heading down Friday morning. Ready for some fun!!!!

Well the dust has settled and everyone is back to the normal grind. What an amazing weekend we had seeing old friends and making new friends. The weather held up ok for the Poker Run but to our great disappointment, the Radar Run had to be cancelled due to high winds! We can't thank everyone enough for all their support, time, efforts, and participation in making this event so much fun!! The best part is that the bar has been raised as we more than doubled last years donation to Soldiers Undertaking Disabled SCUBA (SUDS).......$18,315!!!!!

A very big thank you to Barry Peters as well for hosting our guest of honor, Matt White(SUDS member), on his boat for the poker run...he had an absolute blast!!

Hope to see you in 2015!!
