Braggin' rights belong to the "crazy seven", that had tha ballz to go the the rest of the stops after lunch, in the rain. My boat was shaking so bed, like it lost a prop blade. It was from me shivering. :rofl:
Great run of the BIG cats, tho, and I can understand not actually getting the cards, at some spots, (But at least get there or close) but as far as I go.. IT'S an event... not a race. It's ok to race of course and more power to the crazy nuts.. BUT... No show at the card stops... no card.. no hands...
kinda defeats the purpose of the Poker Run theme. Not much of a TRUE “Poker Run” when everyone makes a mad dash to the lunch spot, and a mad sprint back to the hotel skipping all the stops, then still get all their chances with the playing hands. (I don't think any one of us actually go the these run to win with the cards, but it is a "Poker Run" after all.)
The stops are independent businesses, providing a service and deserve the attention and effort by us “nuts” to show our appreciation at least.
Thanks for the pix BigChubby.. I will work on the XXXL “T” s for you.

What a bunch of bullcrap. Why even leave the dock if you're not going to hit the card stops. Just go collect your cards inside and call it a day.

Man, oh, man... the usual great time was had again. Great to see everyone again.
Gotta thank Bill for the hospitality and another unforgettable weekend.
Had a blast with Lori (PicChic), who worked with me this year-
she was on the bridge and in the booth and mostly partyin' with... everyone!
She got some shots Saturday nite that will be classics, I guarantee it.
Wanted to get this composite up that shows the field as they approached Buckman Bridge.
In the top image you can see PP is shutting down and Gino on the right
(ignore that little vbottom directly behind Gino, he was waiting in the river...)
The bottom shot shows Predator and Performance Boat Brokers MTI a bit behind the Mercedes boat and PP pulling off the course.
One other thing... talk about bad timing for us in the chopper- see that F16 in the background of the first shot?
Just as the field took off, we were advised by the tower at the Naval Air Field that we couldn't fly south until that guy landed
We had to hold position at the start and just watch the pack take off down the river.
Really piZzed me off. oh well- still got some good stuff. stay tuned!

The poker run that I was involved setting up, we made getting the cards at each stop optional because of liability reasons.

First of all if you ever drove with crash boxes you would understand. Add congestion, wind and current and that's where the name "crash" came from. This even is also different then many when it came to the cards. You could buy additional hands and the money went to charity. So it's not like we weren't involved in the poker part of the event.
This was no secret or surprise, I brought it up in the meeting and EVERYONE in the run was there to hear.
