ENDURANCE BOAT RACING RETURNS TO
LAKE HAVASU CITY, APRIL 7-11, 2011
  LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. (Nov. 5, 2010) – The inaugural Lake Havasu 300 Mile Endurance race is coming to Lake Havasu on April 10, 2011.
  The race will be held in conjunction with the Lake Havasu City Marine Association's 20th annual Performance Boat Show and POPRA's Lake Havasu Gran Prix (Friday/Saturday). Over 10,000 racers and spectators are expected to visit the Race Village located at Windsor State Park.
  Sunday, April 10th, the event shifts gears with the ultimate test of attrition: the innaugural Havasu Enduro 300 where sixteen to twenty-five foot boats race around the six mile course off Windsor Beach. 7 Divisions will compete for the overall win and individual division win. The race will be 50 laps on an approximately 6 mile course,
  The Race requires all boats entering the contest to be a minimum length of 16 feet up to a maximum of 25 feet with any motor configuration (inboard, outboard, IO, Jet). Based on the boat and motor configuration the team will designate a racing division (1 thru 7) per the official rules that govern the race Official Rules . Absolutely NO capsule boats (tunnels or otherwise) will be allowed. The start will be staggered Le Mans with the slowest class of the racing divisions taking off Le Mans style first and then each division starting at their prescribed time thereafter. Safety is of the utmost priority and there are strict rules regarding passing and overtaking boats. Fuel stops consist of a minimum of two (2) – ten (10) minute stops on the trailer in the teams pit designation so, like in NASCAR, fuel stops will play an important role.
  Come and join in or watch this prestigious event and see with the many other racers, boat manufacturers and aftermarket manufacturers that have already signed up to race for bragging rights and their share of the prize money.

Just posted this up!..
The Havasu 300 was cancelled due to lack of participation and several other factors but mainly lack of participation. I had two pre-registered entries and counted less than 10 more that I could verify. I believe this was due to a couple of factors:
1.) The rules came out less than two months ago (after the last Enduro rules meeting)- not alot of time to get ready.
2.) I was unable to raise prize money
3.) Parker Spring Classic is the following week, GN's, Comp Jets, and COR's (majority) are going to the Blue Water race.
4.) Too late in the regular racing season. Jan. Feb. and early March seems to be the concensus before the "regular racing seasons" for Circle, Drag, Offshore kick in.
5. Gas prices hitting the $4/gal. mark didn't help either.
And probably a few more. I am completely bummed about having to cancel the race as I saw it as an opportunity for the Enduro racers to have a second race but alot of feedback from the teams about Havasu being too rough seemed to keep some teams away, which I don't see as we raced on Havasu with the Classic for how many years and sometimes it was rough and sometimes it was great. However, April is still "Spring Break" and there is a lot more boats on the Lake than in Jan., Feb. or March. Since Salton Sea is a no go I saw Havasu as a viable location. Oooh well.
Hope this answers your questions.
The Havasu Offshore Gran Prix is still on and POPRA and I working on adding an "Enduro" class for those that still want to race albeit less miles (80 each day rather than one 300). We are just getting it finalized but I have gotten some good response from a couple of racers that were registered in the Havasu 300.
