Bobby and crew did an outstanding job organizing it.  The folks at 429 marina welcomed us with open arms and provided a top notch location for this event.  The lake authorities were very accepting of us as well.  The only little hitch was the single usable boat ramp because of the low water.  On the positive side of that, the low water gave us a fantastic beach area to hang out on where I'm sure there is plenty of parting going on tonight.

Well I have just arrived home from one of the best  events that I have been to in years. My hat is off to all that made this event happen. Special thanks to the 429 marina and their crew. We arrived at about 11:30 Sat. morning and all I heard was how we were welcome to be there. I think everyone was impressed at the set up of the beach to the marina driving up in golf carts to see if we needed ice or anything from the marina. Thanks to all the Okie group who showed up who by the way had some fast A$$ boats there. Thanks James for te use of his grill and glad to hear you sold all 155 t-shirts with people wanting more. I see this event as a repeat for next year. Locals showed up to watch all the fast boats at $5 a head and there plenty of people there. You will most likely all have to wait until Monday for all the pics and videos to show. I will tell you there was one twin turbo boat for OK, that was super fast. The only complaint what was the baot ramp launching, but that was ok once everyone got launched. I was told at one time there was over 70 boats in the water, not counting what was on the trailers. I would say mark your calendars for next year, this is one you want to attend. OH by the way blessed by the lake authorities. Wait till you see all the pics. Thanks to all who came up a spoke with me and wished me well with my leg recovery. Nice to meet new people any time.

I thought the final count was 78 "hot boats" on the water at one time. 78 or 87, in either case, the last SDBA event in Fort Worth had 100 boats there including jet skis. And what great weather we had!! The cops were very cooperative and the 1,000 foot course great. There were some really awesome side be side runs. One of the best was the fire dept boats making a side by side pass!! I hope someoen got that on video. I heard the vendor on the beach selling BBQ had some damn good food too.

The second annual will be even bigger and better. I'll get a bigger float pool on the shirts next year so there's plenty to go around.

Guys I will say that this was an incredible event!! Bobby and Jasson are top notch guys and deserve a standing ovation!!

The folks are 429 were fantastic and they sincerely appreciated our presence and invited us back next year. We felt right at home there and have even talked about going back again just to camp.

We had a fantastic time last night in the Crusader. We have to have made 10 passes down the course at 1100pm  shooting blue roost while jammin with Boatless Brett and his bride while listening to some "Jawga boyz"  Lol. I guess I didn't monitor my fuel very well because this morning my tanks were dry. Thanks to Paul, I was able to buy a few gallons of Av gas so I could get back to the ramp.

We are literally exhausted and have great memories of the 429 Marina and their staff.

  this has been one of the best event's that i have ever been to.  these people went the extra mile for us .
i can not count how many time's i was approched by one of there staff and asking if i needed any thing
or help or what ever . one of them even went out of there way to get me a hamburger and at no cost , they would not take my money,  i do hope that this will become a yearly event. at least that way we can get the
boat count up by being close enough that we can get those out law folks to be able to pull down that way.
also where else can you go and not be hassled by the law. my hat's off to those folk's they were great.
