I'm well aware of the marketing angle of a poker run.
Your post leaves me very confused though. If the Poker Run is not a race in any way shape or form, then why exactly would new laws discourage performance boat owners from participating?
What has changed from last year to this year that affects boats in an event that is not a race?

I don't want to go down this path and watch the thread go POOF!.. but as I mentioned before a lot of the go fast boats who travel the poker run circuit have been turned off by the new restrictions. They and I do not go around with our sticks planted to the dash.... It would just cost too much in gas first of all not to mention I can't think of anywhere other then the broads I would even consider doing that.
Now, not withstanding that, the bigger faster boats the travel the circuit usually have a safe cruising speed over 45 or 50. And if they want to push it up a bit then they don't want to feel restricted in doing so. So many have just decided to avoid the hassell all together.
No offense, but from reading your previous posts it just seems like you are looking for an argument. I personally don't want to get into it for there are plenty to read in to the locked forum.
Getting back to why I started the thread: I am just wondering 1st if they were still having one (answer is yes see post #2) and 2nd who is planning on attending and their thoughts on this years run.
