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?

Brk...
I think your baiting OD, but in case your not...
Its pretty simple!
Nobody is going to spend the $$$ to truck thier super expensive High Performance boat to Lake Winnipesaukee where there is now a 45 MPH speed limit... especially in this economy!
Most of the "Out of Town" Hi-Perf boaters I know will elect to participate in a Poker Run someplace else... where they are made welcome and spend thier hard earned money there!
I guess in this aspect, HB-847 is working as its authors intended...
I have participated every year, and I will participate again this year. It will be interesting to see how much less money is raised.
