Daytona Beach FL poker run, can we make it happen again.
2007 was last Poker run, Hardin marine even had a display at oyster pub at dinner party. So much variety with Daytona run, big boys play in the big pond where as the tikes cruised up the intercoastal.
yes I was there in 07 but didn't run. There where some issues with the police going out from Caribbean jacks do to no wake zones and excessive noise. Yes it did seam as if they didn't want us there. I do believe that is in the past, and if Daytona Beach patrol and other agencies where approached
With a worthy cause they may assist in the event instead hinder it. I'm willing to start the ball rolling if we all get together with a program to submit.
My 2 cents.

excuse my typing, always bad with grammar. Lol

I was there for 05, 06 and 07. 06 was absolute mayhem, boats running WFO in the intracoastal 3-4 wide, passing outside channel markers. That mayhem brought heavy police interference for 07. That isn't a terrible area for boating but the no wake zones are tough in downtown Daytona. Running on the outside is tough since you have to go south first (20-30 minutes) to Ponce then north 50-60 miles to St Augustine. If you break while outside you have a miserable ride back.

Daytona has a lot to offer as yearly venue and I hope to revive this poker run.

We didn’t make 07, but 05 & 06 were fun!

Yeah lets be honest, Daytona is full of old hags that complain about freaking everything these days. The police there support the old hags and love to generate city income via tickets.
Now all of that said, there is a good group of go fasts just south in Brevard County and that's an easy trailer up for us. Or hell if we really wanted to make a day of it, full on boat ride up the intercoastal (or outside)

So the old hags rather have Bike week verses a boat poker run. Helarious. Daytona has changed emensialy in the last few years. Plus now a new sherrif in town called Chitwood. One no frills dude.
i believe if I spoke to him we would be good.

Curt,
Yes Chitwood does seem pretty cool and level headed, sure seems like if they can deal with two bike weeks one poker run could happen.
