Boat Races in Texas

[lynden]

Does anyone have any info on when there might be some boat racing near Dallas, or Waco. Mom and dad are wanting to go see it first hand sometime this year.
Are there maybe some sites that would have schedules of things like that?
Thanks

IHBA.com or dragboats.com and sdba.com all have schedules. I don't believe the new ones are up yet but there is a stop in Waco.

The SDBA will be in waco on April 23-25 and the IHBA will be in Waco on June 26-27
www.sdbaracing.com and www.ihbaracing.com both have the full (tentative) schedules posted

He is a great guy and he won his class. A schedule
was posted awhile back in hot spots central....Here it is...
April 23,24 & 25 Waco
May 15 & 16 Brady
June 19 & 20 Ft Worth
June 26 & 27 Waco (IHBA)
July 17 & 18 Witcha
Aug 7 & 8 Cleburne
Aug 13, 14 & 15 Marble Falls (IHBA)
Aug 28 & 29 (TBA IHBA) = Could be Austin?!?

I also met RRR there wnen we were leaving, my son had to leave to go Boy Scout camping so we cut it kinda short.

Thanks for the info!!

[ekimzark]

no prob, btw i would recomend the Waco SDBA race.... They're trying something new...its called the pro-mod shootout and their will probably be 20+ pro modified boats there....with a top fuel purse.

My fault, I read the schedule for last year, and it looked so close to the one posted that I took it as '03.
Thanks for the help!!
