That is why I am still doing it as well. However, if they want to get this up to national status in the poker run circuit it will be difficult to do so. I wonder if it would be possible to petition the state to treat this as a "special event" in which they can suspend the rules for that particular day. They have done it in the past when the racing circuit came and did the races. (I wonder why they ever stopped doing those. It was incredible to see up close!!)

What rules would need to be suspended for a non-race event? The 150' rule? I could see where that could be an issue when a lot of boats are converging on the same places. I'm not a big fan of the 150' rule in general.

I agree with you.. Never thought of the congestion issue. I had meant the speed and noise regulations.. This would allow for a national presence on the poker run circuit..... BUT only other issue is I just found out that one of the top 5 poker runs in the country are happening on July 11th.. Jammin on the James River in VA..... Limits or not... I won't be on lake winni.... Can't miss that time... Absolutely an incridible run. Overnight as well... Check out the start from last year:
