    If Cambridge follows the new format they setup for this year. With the Poker Run Saturday, the race Sunday, and the great hotel and location, it also would be up there I think. Plus, if they split the races for there and New York to different weekends, it will grow even more.

    I think your top 5 are probably correct. The next five will be a little tougher.
    Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

    If you want mass media exposure then you have to include the 2010 Sunny Isle Beach Offshore Challenge weekend. Same format as previous years. Bimini Race on Friday, Powerboat Rally on Saturday, and race finals on Sunday.

    2010 in Miami has some serious exposure coming. If you want to demonstrate Brand Awareness to your sponsor no other event will even come close to showing the brand off to a major advertising market.

    You know the whole Shoot Out weekend gets a ton of coverage...not necessarily the Poker Run, but the whole weekend.

    What about Chicago?

    ask anyone who has ATTENDED Jammin on the James (VA, July 9-11 2010) if it should be included in your list......We INCREASE attendance every year (even 2009) because once people come, they ALWAYS come back!!!

    Jammin on the James exposure worked well for Reggie last year.....Just show up at the docks and tell them you are a sponsor boat, then don't pay!

    Cambridge will be bigger and better next year. With the support we received from Serious and the great time everyone had it will only get better next year. We are already in the planning stages and will not disappoint.

    As much as I hate to promote their runs..

    PRA Season Opener in St. Pete seems to be drawing very well. It's got a GREAT venue for sure.
    Treat every situation like a dog, if you can't eat it or hump it, piss on it and walk away.
