Unfortunate that one of the premier powerboat destination events on planet Earth (and an event the Galactic Guys have been proud to participate in over the years) had to be postponed at the last minute. BUT there is little doubt it is probably the right and responsible decision. If all goes well in the short term, the second half of 2020 is going to be jam packed with awesome events thanks to the addition of many that have been rescheduled.

BREAKING NEWS ALERT: Scheduled to kick off tomorrow (Wednesday, June 24) and continue Thursday, Friday and into the weekend with a series of events, the 13th annual Texas Outlaw Challenge has been postponed according to organizer Paul Robinson.
“We regret to report that COVID-19 metrics being published from this past weekend within the Houston area have shown an aggressive increase in positive cases,” Robinson explained. "The public concern at many venues within our local community is real, and responsible decisions must be made to ensure the safety and health of you, our boating friends. If that isn’t enough, it seems that today’s latest weather report has flash floods and an 80-percent chance thunderstorms throughout our event area over the next four days."
“The Texas Outlaw Challenge is infamous for setting a high bar of value for its guests, and we recognize that the upcoming event, due to uncontrollable circumstances over the past few days, would not have produced an experience representative of our past productions,” he continued. “These are difficult times that are provoking tough decisions. We truly regret this unavoidable decision. Safety and health must be a priority for all. The Outlaws will ride again very soon—that is a promise.”
According to Robinson, plans are to reschedule the event for late this year. “I very much believe we will get it done this year,” Robinson said. “It bothers me terribly to have postpone this year’s event. Once we see a window, we’ll go.”
Registrations will remain on file and will be honored on the future 2020 date or at next year’s event scheduled for June 23-27, according to the release.

Happy Friday!!
