Hey Jerry thats the same weekend APR is racing in Huntington WV. I believe they are running SST 120 and SST 60.. I think this will effect your attendance..

Mike

[BURKHARDT]

Huntington, Wv has been dropped by APR.

[Mike Beegle]

Huntington, Wv has been dropped by APR.

Burkhardt Right on I didnt know.... Guess Portsmouth Ohio it is...

[jerry book]

APR has Huntington listed as tentative on their schedule. I am not aware of any other deatils concerning Huntington

[Mike Beegle]

Sam Winer From APR has emailed me and asked me to set the record straight about Huntington WV..
APR is moving forward with this race on this date August 6-7 2011. This will be a APR Title Race and They have a secure Title Sponsor for this race...

As a lighter note.. This problem with conflicting dates Is a major problem we are having within APBA Stock, Mod, OPC etc .. Portsmouth Ohio and Huntington WV are only about Hour apart...
Apr and Jerry Book i'm sure have gone thru a lot of trouble securing both of these sites and I thank them both for finding places for us to race...

How can we fix this is my question so we do not loose one of these race sites or take away attendance ? Its all about a show not 3 n 4 boat fields..

Introducing Thunder on the Fox in Elgin, IL

A New Race on Powerboat Superleague 2011 Schedule

In a joint release, Elgin race organizers and Powerboat Superleague announce that they have reached an agreement to make Thunder on the Fox the newest event on the 2011 Superleague racing schedule. Planned for Father’s Day weekend (June 18-19), Formula Two/SST 120 and the Formula Three/SST 60 classes will form the core of the race program. On-water activities have been planned to coincide with the existing Brewfest, making Elgin the best place to celebrate the start of the race season and honor those special men in our lives – dads.

“It’s exciting; a new event, a new season and the beginning of a year of fun and special activities for our 25th anniversary in powerboat racing. We appreciate the confidence that the organizers – McGrath Marketing Group – and the City of Elgin have placed in our circuit,” stated Superleague. “We know from years of experience in producing local festivals as well as operating a national/international racing series, the level of commitment everyone locally has made to us.”

“We chose Superleague because of their long-standing reputation in the racing community, primarily their longevity and their ability to deliver a professional program. This new venture will be beneficial for everyone,” commented McGrath Marketing Group. “Focusing attention on Elgin and the potential that the city offers will make producing this showcase event very satisfying.”

For Superleague teams, the addition of another race means the ability to collect more points – APBA and Superleague, share in the weekend purse and entertain a new fan base. The event’s new web site will be available soon; all event information, including the Superleague race particulars and additional activities promising plenty of family fun will be posted. Powerboat Superleague circuit information, including listings for area hotels, can be found by visiting the Superleague web site: www.aprsuperleague.com
