first time hitting up the poker run..... should be good but i have a few questions.
1. what day is the poker run?
2. where's the best spot on the lake to anchor and watch the boats on by?

It's not a race. It's a poker run.

This event is NOT A RACE! While some folks treat it as such, it is not a closed course and if drivers pretend they are racing, poker runs will be short lived.....
'Nough said 'bout that :D
Saturday is the poker run, the first wave (the fastest boats) usually kick off at 9am and they may make a parade pass through the channel on their way to the first stop. If you are at Steamboat, then these boats are just spooling up there. The real speed is further down the river....
BTW - I have it on good authority that the plead for charity contributions by the "Spectators" has been very, very slim....Come on now, anty up - it may be tax deductible :idea: :D

Dont know about posting the grouping on-line as it may depend on actual registration and show ups...
The street party is on as of this post..I think there is another thread about the boats that are coming...

Are they mailing out the P.R. packages or are they to be picked up at the registration/welcome party?
If I haven't received mine yet, should I be concerned? :(

Just remember, when finding a suitable anchoring location, stay close to shore. These guys run wide in some spots. Have fun and be kind to the safety boats that may ask you to move.
