Sonny, Don't forget you have to schedule to party with me @ LKN. One good date is in May race weekend. Nothing like seeing those nascar drivers stumbling around on their boats.

Barry: Don't worry. I hope to be a regular at Norman this summer. Line me up for some good weekends! Goin to Daytona
next week on the Harley. How about coming to Raleigh in a couple of weeks. We can tinker on the boat and go out partying in my town!!

HRPA and St. Judes Little Creek Regatta and Poker Run in Norfolk/Virginia Beach, VA. If you're interested in a 100 mile plus run that takes you for a good ocean stretch followed by a Chesapeake Bay run that drives through the largest naval base in the world; then this is a run not to miss!

Check out the link:

BTW, Norfolk is only 5 hours away from Charlotte and we have a free/included service for lifting boats off trailers at our Marina for all poker run participants. They also have plenty of dock space to stay in the water all weekend if you like.

Here's the link to the LCR site"

Vyper, my dad and I are hoping to make that one, is it a good idea to go ahead and fill out a registration form early or can we wait and make sure no plans pop up or anything?

Little Creek Regatta/HRPA Chesapeake Bay Poker Run August 6 & 7...

Let me expand upon Vyper340's post:

The "ONLY" multi-boat class event on the east coast that involves not only performance powerboaters, but sailboater's, fishing boaters, and cruiser/family boats alike in a single event. Registration fee includes:

TWO party's
FOUR T-shirts
FOUR passes to both party's (5:30pm-10pm both nights with live bands)
FOUR tickets for the lunch stop at Hooters Waterside Norfolk.
Margaritaville immediately following run from 3-6pm
Silent auctions at the party's (keep an eye on your ladies)
Raffles
"Ditty-bags" with giveaway goodies to each captain
Helicopter photos
FIVE prizes for top five hands beginning with $1000
SIX stops
SEVEN card stud (top five wins with six and seven as tie-breakers)

Here's the kicker......All this for ONLY $175.00 . Best poker run deal on the east coast and registration remains unlimited until a maximum is realized. Postmark it by June 1st and it's only $150. How do we do it you ask? Most elements are supported via sponsorships and donations from very generous local businessmen/women.

For registration info go to www.littlecreekregatta.org or email/pm me personally and I'll send a registration form.

Other elements that make this different:
As mentioned above there is a sailboat regatta; fishing tournament; and a second poker run course. That course is designed for the slower cruiser boat/family boat class who don't/can't run as far nor as fast. So something for everyone and boaters from all spectrums will be gathered under one umbrella for the cause to raise money for the St. Judes Children's Research Hospital.

So come join us and get in on the best bang for the buck in the country....ONLY $175.00
