Let me just say this. I not trying to hurt or tarnish this event in any way. I have not expressed my point possibly the right way. In my 14 years as being a referee the river (which I do know very well) has not been kind to me and several events. More so than any other race course I have...
You guys are making this too easy, I expected more but I am not surprised.
RD stated "a rescue boat every 1/2 mile, Toby has 18 rescue personal, and the La Paz county Sheriffs boats and divers" and you all said yes!!!!!!!!

Your kidding yourself and fooling others.
let me see if you can give some clairification of your SAFETY for this race?
What is your APBA number
How many rescue boats staffed with divers for either a 6 or 12 mile course
How many patrol boats
What is the response time to a driver...
You will probably remove this post but you and Scott are in way over your heads and knowledge. That is why you are 60 days out with A- no approved rules, B- No CG permits, C- No Officials Staff, D- No set and approved Safety procedure, E- No approved INS, F- No rescue team capable of handling an...
