The Launch at McIntyre
will be 5$ on Saturday. Its normally 10$. *** They
don't Have Beer at the store there. Get it in town at albertsons or where ever***
They Have 91 octane gas
The sandbar is 3 miles north of Mcintyre on the right hand side, right before goose flats. If you don't know the river above that sand bar, i would suggest launching at mcintyre. The sandbars get a bit big and hard to navigate if you dont know them.
There will be off duty cops and firemen to keep things in check if they get out of hand
The cops are fine with loud headers and performance boats, If you do something stupid or out of line they will be on you.

Cool stuff from b1 racing, socaljetboats, Robinson racing, Mcintyre mob and Mcintyre snob will be given out with the awards.

McIntyre snob is giving a 50$ gas card to the longest haul winner.
