\"The poker run\"

Has anyone tried or heard about these poker-runs?? seem so popular in the US and starting to catch on in Europe.
 
Re: \"The poker run\"

A spin on a "treasure hunt" theme. One of the mags did one a few years ago as a "side show" to something else. Can be good fun if organised properly. Needs a fair bit of thought putting into it and a good few people getting lost for it to work.
Not rocket science to put together. Could organise one here if there was enought interest. Gives an excuse for an end of season piss up if nothing else!

I believe a poker run is a meeting between fast sportsboat owners. Fountains, cigarettes, Baja's etc.... They run there boats flat out ( normally 65 knots plus ) over a stretch of flat water. My uncle has a baja 25 outlaw capable of 65mph plus which he uses in the poker run. Don't know why its called the poker run ( maybe links with russian roulette). Came over from the states.

Actually none. But next year I will for sure be there as I'm told the party was great too. 15 years ago I had a CC 245 LTD w. 365 mag. doing 52 knots that I considered fast at the time. Today the fast stepped monohulls are doing 80+ knots. Must be worth watching. ... could get expensive of course if it looks to much fun!!
