WOW..over 8000 views, and only 99 comments...WTH...This is one hell of an accomplishment...
Owning the boat and paying a professional driver and stick man takes away from the speed.. A great accomplishment but looks like a pro Race Team instead of a weekend poker runner. :drink: |
Gino wasnt in the boat?
Byrdman did this + 2-3 years ago with JC and Zuls crew. and Byrd drove still fast whenever you do it. be safe guys |

Keith..I think that's bullsh!t. A few of you guys can drive just as good as what was needed as far as level of experience goes that day.. Besides some of you guys raced anyways... as well as have gone over 160mph. If it was a Skater I bet you'd be saying different.:lolhit:

I think Gino showed his smarts by letting the pros do it.
VERY dangerous undertaking in an open boat, IMO. |

He runs the boat every single event. Johnny was asked as a friendly favor to throttle for 3 reasons. 1. Johnny throttled Pure Platinum with Bill, he throttle the Mercedes boat with Larry. 2. Medical reasons-it was unanimous that I didn't run the boat for this particular run. 3. My family asked me not to due to number 2. I assure you, as long as my medical condition is better then it was last week, I will be in the boat when we break 200 very soon! I raced for 4 years, does that make me a professional? I have ran the boat every run except this one particular day! |
