2009 Race Schedule:
Sunbury, PA: June 28, 2009 - Cancelled See Below
2009 Sunbury Race -- From the 'Prez:
On May 18th, I received a telephone call from T.H.E. Insurance Company
based in Florida. They told me they do not want to continue insuring boat
racing events, but if we were willing to pay a higher premium we could
get the insurance which would double the cost from $2500 to $5000. We
don’t have $5000 to spend and wouldn’t ever pay that price
to have a race for one day. Unfortunately it not only affects us, it has
affected the Sunbury Social Club, all the volunteers, rescue, fire department,
ambulance personnel, and the race fans in the Sunbury area. Our club officials
have done everything possible to have this event on June 28th.
T.H.E. knew we needed a commitment for insurance by May 15th, I notified
them, through our agent, of the cut off date for us to continue planning
for the race. I can't understand why they didn’t send us a reply
to my emails, or a letter, or telephone call, to let us know, officially,
that they wouldn’t write the policy.
I'm sorry to tell you that the June 28th scheduled race at Sunbury, PA
has been canceled as of 5pm May 18, 2009. We cannot proceed any further
at this late date because we just ran out of time. We were willing to
pay these people $2500 for the one day of racing, and I think the risk
to them was very low based on our safety record since 1986. We have never
made a liability claim in our history as a boat racing club. This doesn't
make any sense to any of us who have been working hard to have this event
on June 28, 2009.
If anyone has made hotel reservations for that weekend, I suggest you
cancel them.
We will be returning the money that was paid for your 2009 club dues and
I personally want to thank everyone who supported the Delaware Valley
Boat Racing Club this year and in the past.
If you have questions, please send email to the boat club address dvbrc
(at-nospam) dvbrc.com
