High Point Jaycees inks agreement with
International Hot Boat Association (IHBA)
for July 99 Boat Drag Race
High Point, NC - November 1, 1998: This week at the 1998 Coors Light World Finals in Phoenix, AZ. the High Point Jaycees inked an agreement with the International Hot Boat Association of Albuquerque, NM. The new association will help bring in a higher caliber of top performance boats from across America as well as continuing to work with the local boats that are here in the southeast.
"We're excited about what this can mean for High Point!!"
says High Point Jaycees President Marty Frazier. "The relationship with IHBA is brand new to our boat race, but many of the people that we have worked with in the past are the same. They are a professional outfit that will be bringing more national sponsors, they are working on national television promotions, and it will be a national points race. We are pleased to be the first east coast race to move up to this national competition." Dates for the race are July 24 & 25, 1999.
