A date has been set for the BayLoosa Challenge! West Florida Boat Racing (WFBR), via Facebook, has set July 13th as the date of the inaugural event. A captain’s meeting will kick off the event Friday the 12th. The race start time is 10 AM the next morning.
The guaranteed $500 challenge payout is for boats 14 feet and under. Any motor, any hull. Other classes will be added as interest arises. Possible classes include: jet ski, under 21′ and under 30′. The more the merrier.
Racers are encouraged to log their race times with the Race Chrono phone app. The app recognizes predetermined start and finish lines and automatically starts and stops upon crossing.
After crossing the finish line of the first leg in Destin, racers have 30 minutes to cross the start line on the north end of Crab Island. This intermission gives time for safe and courteous passage through the no wake zone and allows for refueling if necessary.
To sign up for the race, contact Cracker Bay Thundercats or join the event set by West Florida Boat Racing on Facebook.
*The WFBR group was created as a platform for area boat racers to announce upcoming events and promote fellowship amongst neighboring enthusiasts. First on the event list is the BayLoosa Challenge.
