And we always look like a race team with full equipment, as it is not fun hitting the roll cage with your head after a hard landing.
I think I had one of the smaller engine packages anyway after what I saw on the dock.
I enjoy bring my raceboat to the events. For me it is not a race but a big social event with comraderie like I had in racing.

I also represent PRA sponsor Rio Roses who likes me bringing the boat too.

So I'll keep bringing it and not threaten anyone by it. 80-90 mph for me is just fine. Remember, it's not a race, right?

A special thanks to Larry Goldman who was so gracious to us at the dock helping to get us situated in a nasty crosswind.

Wow, great post Rich...To me that is the spirit of poker runs, not the farce that Reggie put up...I would be honored one day to run in a poker run with you, my tiger only does mid 70's but would enjoy the camaraderie. I would also lend a hand if you ever needed it, no questions asked...Rob

Congratulations Gino! you've earned it. :p

gino get the shirts made , looks like xxl is the popular size , we might not have a half hour tv show , but reggie will have to answer back to this sh-t sooner or later , i'm in for an xxl and a small

Today I didn't get any work done. Phone call after phone call, email after email. i did find a few things out.
There is someone starting a rumorthat the whole ordeal was planned ahead of time. We had the race arranged between us. That is completley untrue. I didn't even know the boat was there until I got out of the drivers meeting 30 minutes before we left.
The other thing i found out is Reggie dosen't own Cat Killer. It was sold to a guy in NY that was at the poker run but was not in the boat. He apperently let Reggie use the boat. Ben Robertson and another hired gun were in the boat. So it was there for the one reason we suspected, another Cat Killer Video.

if you saw american powerboat tv a few months back, reg claimed he beat maxed out in NYC as well, so I can't wait to see what he says about this event...........
