What ever Happened to the Boat Races?

Those races were wicked awesome and hopefully some type of race venue will come back. You know the 45-30-mph speed limits law allows for racing events. Just have to get it approved by the Marine Patrol and it's off to the races. A weekly racing event out on the Broads every Sunday morning, from nine till noon, would be a happening event!

Instead of heading off to church, you could head off to the Lake Winni Sunday morning, motorboat race area! Vvvvrrrrrooommmmm....ladies & gents.....the time is now 9-am so it is time for the race to begin! Sponsored in part by some business with some money such as Coca Cola or Exxon Gasoline or Chase Credit Cards or Marlboro Cigarettes or Budweiser Beer or some similar mega huge, consumer product company with a gigundic advertising budget! These companies spend so much on advertising that they would not even notice the $5000 each or so that it could take. Just some bright orange marker buoys, a few volunteer motorboats, and a Marine Patrol paid detail would probably be enough to create a weekly racing venue.

Every Wednesday evening and Sunday morning, all summer long, the www.lwsa.org runs organized sailiboat races based out of Smith Cove in Gilford, so why not something similar on the broads based out of someplace that is doable.

What's not to like about that.......seriously!
