The committee of the "Long Island Powerboat Club" consists of: Bill Carroll, Chris Ryder, Joe Cibellis, Bill Betz, Joe Sgro and Jeff Cropper, along with the assistance and co-production of Billy Frenz and the National Power Boat Association.
This committee has set out to return a world quality Poker Run event back to the south shore of Long Island.

Thank you all for your overwhelming interest and offers to help. My inbox is full of positive comments all day. The biggest help that anyone can give right now is to register early. We need a head count before we can order shirts, food, stickers for boats, pace boats, paramedics, dock help, and many other things that will make this a quality event.
Again, the entire committee appreciates all the positive response.
