Hey Dock,

Have they finalized the date for the PRA event @ Lake Norman yet?

From what I have been told - the one from poker runs of america is cancelled and the one from carolina powerboats is still on.

I am sure Dock will have better intel then I.

I have a buddy that is good friends with Bill Taylor of PRA and I don't think you are going to see them on Lake Norman. I believe that they have determined it is not a good venue for their caliper of event. At least that is the impression I have at this point. I would have to agree because there is not a good place on the lake to host an event and the lake gets small when you add 50 + boats at high speed. The lack of a hotel on the water is a problem also in my opinion.

As for the Carolina Powerboat club they have really become a small click and I am not in that click so I cannot speak for them. We did their run last year and it was a nice event.

Testing at Site "X" on Split Decision is going very well from what I understand and we should know tomorrow what speeds she is hitting.

I know what they were at today and they are getting very close to what we all expect. I do not want to post until they get her fully dialed in and we know for sure.

Stay tuned.

Go get em Adam!

You're friend Blake is keeping everbody in the loop.


Not to pat myself on the back, but my guess was
pretty close

Now that's funny!

Too bad he cannot have the premier site that everyone would want to go visit for the information. But you have to get along with folks and actually attend the events.

If you look at my first post regarding Site "X" and the testing it is two days before his thread was started!

He is a JOKE

P.S. He will probably give me another nickname now which is the only thing he is good at and then of course he will send me another hateful nasty unprofessional email that he will not allow me to respond to because he is a sissy that blocks your email address. It's a one way street with that ***gett.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel!

He would like this battle to go away because it has brought his stupidy to the fore front once again. But sadley he is not man enough to discuss it in person, on the phone or even by email like a man.

He started it by publicly calling me a name and then bashing me over something I did over a year ago. Then when I replied to his post on another site he lowered himself once again by sending a really nasty email to me. When I tried to reply I found that I could not because he had blocked my email address. This is his typical MO that he has used for a long while to hide behind a computer and censor all posts and not allow anyone to reply. I thought he was a grown man but he must still be two years old.

I invited him to sit down with me in person at the Miami boat show but I made an assumption that as a Baja website owner that he would actually be at the boat show. Had I known that he could not afford the $200 plane ticket I would have given him the money to fly down. He is "Mr. Baja" but does not even come to the most important show of the year. Go Figure.
I guess his site must not be doing very well because other site owners were present at this show and had booths and promotions at several other shows also.

I tried to support his site more then once, paid my subscription fees, bought t-shirts and decals and even donated additional funds when he had that option. He repayed me and many others by making it impossible to post without getting the kindergarden treatment. You are supposed to be a puppet and not post anything without his approval.

He thinks he has some type of exclusive? NOT

We are all owners and supporters of the brand.

There are those of us that actually get around and do it and there are the Blakes that just talk about it and hide behind a computer screen.

Another site is producing a magazine and I have written an article that he has not even read but he finds it necesary to bash the effort. He has been in business seven years and has not done squat except for running off paying members.

Yes I have bad blood for him and he has earned it 100%.

As Mr T once said "I pitty the fool".

Thank you Doc for the update!!!
