Here's some info on the 2009 River Jet Boat Marathon. Contact Alex Figel or Brad Sandul for more information. Need more entries guys, or this marathon will be cancelled!

Just click on the X for now, we are trying to figure out a cure for documents and pdf's on the forum.

Jesse,
Can I get an explanation to the "Non-refundable registration fees", can someone enlighten me as to why this would be in effect? From this side of the fence, why would I send $600.00 to a club only to never see it again if there are not enough entrys, what happens if someone were to blow up their motor days before the race, while testing, or any other kind of an emergency arises?

Are you serious? 100 miles return?? What were you using to measure that distance....a tape measure? There were a few boats that run there and not 1 of them found it to be more that 40 miles 1 way. For those of us who are not familiar with that river, some ACCURATE info would be appreciated! For all those who are racing this weekend and might not be familiar with that leg, it is only 38 miles from O'Brian park to Wapiti Gardens.....NOT 50 like someone decided to say it was!
As you can tell...I am pissy with bad info coming from what is supposed to be a good source (and race organizer?).
Hopefully for the next race in Peace River someone can inform us a little better of where the hell we are racing to with some accurate distances. This info posted above is a bloody joke!

I agree Will, I think someone must've sh%*t in pressurevac's cornflakes. The racing today was awesome and the circuit racing was exciting for the spectators as well as the racers themselves and a great addition to the Rat 200. Great job everybody!
