Bimini Ocean Race Thunderboat Rally

I spoke with Brad he will store your equipment for free and give you a break on the entry fee!!!!! Thats if you are coming from Cali.....Tank bring your boat its perfect water for the big cig bro....
 
Up in the air right now. I have some developing business commitments that aren't solidified yet. And if I go, I don't want to watch from the beach, so I'd need to arrange a seat.

I am sure I can find you a ride in something!!!!!
 
Last year, the rules prohibited anyone other than working crew in the boat. Has that changed this year?

I remember alot of apprehension prior to last years race- alot of potential participants had only seen poker run safety rules and I think were a little intimidated by race rules. Maybe if someone walked through the requirements, which in reality weren't all that different. Helmets was the biggest issue I saw.

I wasn't there last year so I don't know what the criteria is but if you want a ride in just a boat that would probably be easy enough...

You, Stecz, and Otis should run the Gladiator over and back!!!!!

Glad is in the shop getting new clothes. Dunno if it'll be done

Maybe Larry or Brad can address the rules thing. Last year they had all the details on-line.

Yes.....please contact Larry or Brad re this years race.

HORBA is not involved in this years race in any way and some people have been contacting me re the rules etc.

Just wanted to clear that up before someone says that, HORBA said.....

I'm sure that Larry or Brad can help you out with any questions you may have.

Who contacted you? No reason for any confusion.

In reality the rules are really strait forward and easy for a regular performance pleasure boat to comply. Read through the rule book, you can down load from the documents link on the website and call with any questions.

Brad- last year's race rules called for a 60 lb race jacket but many competed with the Lifeline poker run jackets. Is that going to happen this year as well?
 
This rule was difficult to define due to availiblity and advances in the design of the jackets. (The rule book has not kept up with jacket design.) Comp Pro vests best comply with the rule, however dispensation for use of new style #160 starter jackets (Poker Run Lifelines) will be granted for certain classes and hull types. In other words if you are running open boats less than 100 MPH.
 
good to know. Buying $1200 worth of vests for one event might be a barrier for some. If you've got a 100mph boat, you needed them anyway ;)

Brad.....people remembered that HORBA had the rules on our website last year along with the entry form to be downloaded.

I explained to them that HORBA is not involved with the Bimini race this year and that is why we took them down.

Gave them your website to go to for any needed info, or told them to contact you directly.
 
Yes we did mention price break that was for the Cali people but I am sure that Brad will listen to any case you may have to make and make a decision after hearing your circumstances!!!!

TX. Is Weat of the MISS.

I really don't want to make a big deal of it until after I know the boat is going to be ready.

I realy want to get in on this deal this year though.:biggrinjester:
