Bracket Racing For Boaters.

[Last Mohecian]

Thats why we have coordinate with them to allow the club (NTJBC) to get an ambulance, divers, safety boat... Tell them we're gonna race anyway, let's make it as safe as possible.

I elect you head coordinator.  I'd like to see it.  Make it happen.  :smile17:

Atta kid! Liability insurance too in case of an accident so your club doesn't get their ass sued off. We took a mil policy out for 3 days cost us a grand. And if I remember right the amulance was gonna cost us (help me out wildhair) I think it was a bill 25 an hour.

The insurance and the ambalamps were required by the state park. Dunno what your guys will require but as with anything cover your ass.  Murphys law

My Guess is That will be about once. LOL

Tell them you're setting up a slalom ski course and pull a couple guys through while they're watching.  think.gif

Well, that will probably put us right back to racing for beers... LOL

If you can get side by side racing together I bet most guys would go up to $50 if that's what it took, surely at least $25???

The Insurance was about a grand. We got Life Flight and the ambulance for the cost of lunch. Also no racing was allowed until they were on site. Even with all that the park manager wasn't comfortable with it.

 

[HammerDown]

I know that vic flew the chopper in for free but what was it if we had to pay for the meat wagon to set there?

Yeah Loren we charged 25 per boat,had racing,fed everybody burgers, handed out trophies. It was a class deal. The blue hairs put the nix on our deal.  Don't ever trust any group that calls themselve "friends of the park".

Wait a minute.  How much did Life Flight cost?  Sounds like you guys got a buddy deal.

I think you are right on at $125 an hour. We just got lucky having Vic set it all up I am surprised we didn't have to have them on site for the radar run last year.

That sounds like it was a good deal, not sure what to tell you on the blue hairs.

But its not doom and gloom. We almost doubled the number of boats on the water from the year before. I would say conservately 65 boats on the water.  Even without the racing people like us like to get together and toss a few back and have fun.

We got one hell of a buddy deal on that setup. Stipulation was if life flight was called on all racing stoped. thankfuly that didn't happen.

Were all 65 boats in the water on the beach at the same time? Here's the deal with the place we go, Pebble Beach. There are two ramps. The first one is closed down, and that's the side we park our boats on Sunday afternoons. You can officially only get there by boat. On the other side of the cove is Pebble Beach park. It's a day use only park and has no park ranger or personnel working there full time. I think we can get a 1,000 foot course plotted in our cove, but to hold a racing event we would need a way to keep lake traffic out.

I don't know if we could talk to the Corps people and get the closed part opened for a day we wanted to hold an event. Couldn't hurt to ask though. If 65 boats show up to Pebble Beach we will have a parkig issue also without the other section opened. I'm sure it would be on us to cut the grass before and police up the trash after.

For you guys from Oklahoma, here's a vid from our cove at Pebble Beach shot on Sept 5th of this past year.
