The Destin hotline number is 251-269-1477(Alabama number but she's in Destin), and she will answer all of your questions. I know they are trying to get their web site up soon to get more information out.

Hope this helps for Destin information.

"POWER MEETS PARADISE"

The lead from the MERRICK WORLD CUP CLASSIC 2006 is Barbara Barnes aka "Pearl", she has more information than I could ever post on here, but I will continue to put it up here as it comes out. For those who are familiar with the Orange Beach area and the World Famous Flora-Bama Lounge, she is the person who coordinates the Mullet Toss weekend where 10's of thousands of people come to throw a fish across the Fla-Ala state line. Yeh I know what you're thinking, Alabama and throwing fish???, so don't say it just let go.

The web site for the race should be up in a week or two (technical difficulties) it's www.emeraldcoastracing.com,
email: [email protected], her phone number is 251-269-1477, Alabama area code because she lives in OB and works in Destin. Three hours one way every day. What dedication to the sport.

There are several events planned during the race weekend and they will be released as the event gets closer.


see you in St. Clair,
