Damn... That was a pretty close call. It is a good thing the TG went left instead of right. Had it hit the boat the video was taken from there would have been much more serious injuries.

Now that I see the video again... Looks like the TG came across right in front of Branson then the Concept creamed the TG..

Little off subject but I hate when people scream in the back seat for no reason. Very distracting!

Once again a Poker Run referred to as a "RACE"
Will people ever get it ???
A POKER RUN is not a RACE.

Even the writer for the Daily News referenced our run as a Race.
I just don't know where that comes from......
