Try finding somebody into big Helos maybe even somebody who stunt flys them, jets will need way to much room. |

I was kinda thinking "The Texis Exhaust Hell Drivers" featuring Craig Fraser would come out and thrill the fans. We could launch him with a Tboat cannon into the river and then he could do with some side of the boat driving and maybe a jump through the ring of fire. |

There is one major difference with the new generation. They do not like same-same and they like hi tech. We should always be looking at adding something new to the events. The boat races will still be there, but I think it important to change the add in parts of the program regularly. It keeps the non 100% boat race fans coming back year after year. We should also be looking at getting hi tech into the program. Say a link on your phone that links you to a camera on a race boat racing in the heat currently racing. We can not afford to be a NASCAR, but there are some of their ideas we can copy with simple technology which improve the fan experience. |

Like I said, I was at gravenhurst on the Saturday with my gf and her 7 year old son. They were into it for a full 15 minutes, then they were ready to leave. "What's going on?" "Why aren't they doing anything?" "This is boring." Were what I was dealing with for about another hour, until they decided to leave and go shopping while I stayed and watched. Now I admit, this kind of thing isn't for everyone, but keeping the lulls in action to a minimum and maybe more information for the casual spectator (programs, etc) would go a long way. Again, I don't want to be critical, I enjoyed myself, and I know a lot of people put a lot of time and effort into these events, just an opinion from the bleachers.... |
