Smith Mountain Lake Poker Run
 

Well the weather could not have been nicer this year for the Smith Mountain Lake Poker Run.

We arrived mid day Friday and the wind was strong, it was white capping off the point at Bernard's Landing and a little cool for the party Friday night at Mango's, but man did we wake up to a beautiful day Saturday and Sunday!

This was saturday morning looking out our condo where the mountain range comes together at the dam.

Friday night at the party at Mango's.

You have to watch the guy in the middle, he likes to "SPANK" it.

The smallest boat at the event.

The largest performance boat there.

47 Fountain with triple 525's.

Very nice paint!

The fastest boats there!!!!!

These guys were neck and neck around the point at Bernard's Landing with the helicopter right on them. I wish I had got a shot, it was awesome!

They did not have a helicopter last year, but they made up for it this year by having two!

They had one chasing the boats doing a very good job, he went so far and came back and picked up another group and so on where everyone could get good coverage.

Then they had one to hover near the dam at 2:30 PM and you could make a run by it and get some really good still photos.

I think the did a real good job with the helicopters.

Nice pictures, does anyone have anymore?

You can just see the second helicopter in this photo.

Agent Orange

Everyone knows Brian "MonSoon".

37 Active Thunder. This is the third run we have done with him. He is really a VERY nice guy and has a VERY nice boat.

He is also in the last issue of Poker Runs America Mag.

He is proud of the inside of the glove box!!:cool:

There was a very good showing of Active Thunders.

Looking over the bow's of the Active Thunders.

Reall NICE Eliminator. The picture does not do justice to this paint color. It was really sharp.

Well you never know who you are going to run into. Bill & Sheri were there from LKN. They have a 29 Outlaw.

This was Sheri & Tommie together, but the light was behind them.
