The Kicker Marine audio-sponsored event will be headquartered at the Havasu Riviera Marina in Lake Havasu City.

Founded by Dave Johnson, River Dave’s Place in Lake Havasu City is a popular high-performance powerboating website and forum community. Johnson and his crew have been “boots on the ground” for the event, which Heathman originally produced in collaboration with Speedboat magazine and Jokers Wild Productions. Both entities are no longer associated with the event.
