Majority of that drive will be interstate, and then assistance through the county roads to the launch site will help smooth things. The final round will only have a handful of boats, half or less than half of the full field the first two days.

Huntsville's VBC expo hall does not have enough square footage to host the Classic show. The VBC arena would be fine for a weigh-in and probably would be filled, which would be nice. But the exhibition hall doesn't meet the square footage requirements in the contract (unless those have changed, and I don't think they have).

Honestly, I"m surprised the FLW Cup has not been held in Huntsville. They were greatly impressed when they came here for their Tour event a couple of years ago and did tour the arena. Charlie Evans told me it was all perfect for weigh-ins and the expo.

Huntsville talked with BASS about 4-5 years ago about the Classic. They almost got the 2010 event but the city balked on some money and BASS didn't like the size of the expo hall.
