my racing debut is cancelled
i talked with chris and was going to race for the first time in biloxi. my fiance' was very, very hesitant about me doing this, i assured her i would be safe. she is at home and surfs oso for laughs and due to the accident this morning i was given a choice - her or the race. i was really excited to race but she is a big part of my life. sooo, no race. chris- thank you for the excellent offer, but the choice is clear. i wish all racer's a safe weekend, and prayers go to the famlies of this unfortunate accident. all sports have a risk factor, and i can't risk the one i love leaving me for the the thrill of race.....

That is to bad. Those boats are very safe and are TOTALLY different then a super cat. Not even the same game. Hope that she changes her mind and lets ya try it some time. If you get a chance to hook up with Chris hang out for a bit and maybe you can get her out for a ride. If she rides in one she may just understand.

I'm sure that was an incredibly tough decision. I can appreciate your wife's feelings.
Everytime I mention that I would like to give racing a shot, she has the same apprehensive response. But I can fully understand it. I imagine reversed roles, and I must admit, I would be very edgy and nervous if she was out there and I watched from the sidelines. Especially, in light of all the tragic news in recent times, It's tough to justify a few hours of adrenaline pumping excitement, for the possibility of a tragedy. I'm sure you'll both be a little more relieved with your decision. :) Like most anything else, there are inherint risks involved. |

To race or not to race is a tough decision. I had the full support of my family when I started racing, although my parents were dead set against it. After 2 years my son started to become very concerned, it was at that point, in addition to all the political bs, that I decided it was time to get out for a while.
The only thing you can do is be a safe as possible and explain the safety steps you have taken. |
Open72 don't ever make her feel regret for you not racing! Kiss her and thank her for loving you. Jo

You made the right choice, the timing will be better to get in a race boat.
When I told my girlfriend I wanted to go racing, all she said was make sure the Life insurance is paid, and she is the beneficiary:eek: :eek: :eek: Nice huh:rolleyes: :rolleyes: |
I refer to my wife as SWMBO - She Who Must Be Obeyed. Thank God I've got her, she keeps me on the mostly straight and somewhat narrow - no tellin' where'd I'd be without her! :D
