Safety Boats Needed Spring of 2012
The World Jet Boat Race Marathon will be held in Idaho April 13 – 22, 2012. This race will cover approximately 500 miles of river in 9 days. The races will start on the St. Joe River above St. Maries, move to Lewiston to race on the snake River, then on to Orofino for the Clearwater and then to Riggins for the final legs of this race. Additional racing information can be observed by going to jetboatracing.com and sorting through associated links.
Please join me in the volunteer effort to support this, “only one in the world event,” here in Idaho. If you are interested in participating as a safety boat please contact Bob Hays at 208-880-3522.
