Here's the deal:

To win Boat of The Year, the Split must do well in 7 or 8 races that count for it. Most of them are weekend races on Saturdays. So, to get a good crew together we're letting everyone know what the schedule is for the races, and we'll be having a couple practice nights. As an incentive to show up for the races, there is booty involved: limited edition Split racing shirts, jackets, and a party at the end of the year! See below for more details.

The last time the Split won BOTY was in 1981. Do you remember 1981? I don't, so its time to return the Split to its former GLORY!!!
