Fast forward to 2006. Fountain brings a new hull, places the big cats squarely in the crosshairs, and blows Speed Racer away. . . . everyone returns to the streets, but this time with torches and pitchforks. . . .
Now, clearly continuing his assault on the cats, Fountain's V-HULL "Rio Roses" targets the SUPERCAT Bud Select. However, Bud Select IS first to the turn. . . . once again, everyone is dancing in the streets. . . .
That is what you call "Raising the Bar" . . . . defined by Fountain Powerboats. . . .

OL can do no wrong
Cig can do no wrong
SR can do no wrong
Fountain can do no right
Reggie has ALWAYS backed up EVERYTHING he has said. I remember the article in Powerboat when OL said that their GPS run had shut Reggie up. Then Reggie blew that GPS, middle of the ocean stuff into the weeds, and OL snuck out of North Carolina with "blown engines"
Lets just wait till Aug 4 and see what happens

To be totally honest with you, I can pretty much gaurantee Reggie has a boat that can run 200 right now. He just doesn't want to tip his hand. He knows Cig and OL are gunning for him and he's sitting back and waiting to pull it out. It's gonna be interesting over the next year or so. We'll see. I just hope no one gets hurt.

Maybe so many people wouldn't hate Fountain so much if he/they weren't so f*ckin' arrogant. Don't care who you are, it doesn't look good on anyone no matter what you've accomplished.

As far as the video goes, I have no idea. SR says it was edited. Fountain doesn't say anything, so WTF knows.

i am pretty sure if reggie was running small engines he would of made a huge deal of it.... that being said, the fact that he said they were 1500's makes you wonder if they were that small...
i give reggie credit for running as fast as he does, but until he dethrones the true offshore speed king, he might want to watch how hard he pokes the bear with the stick...
