In the case of Hinton, WV our program does IMPACT the economy in a positive way.

I believe we had over 120 enteries on Saturday and a little less Sunday. All the local town Motels were booked along with the cabins at Bluestone!!

During the years of the Nationals we held there, i believe we had around 600- 700 enteries during the 69, 77, 87,93,95 and 97 events! The impact was HUGE for the local community.

Hinton truly is a perfect enviornment for a powerboat race..........

The smaller towns appreciate what we do for their economy.. To bad way to many towns have blinders on.. Our race in Trout Creek gets the same coverage and they always say what do we need to do to have the event another year.. What ever it takes..
