I know that it seems fast boats are becomeing a problem, but keep in mind, the two guys that were in SPEED RACER both have tons of experience and both had life jackets and helmets on, and still they never took the boat over 70MPH because of the traffic on the lake. The Helo was done with them and they were long gone by the time it went down. let's not put this in that catagory!

Re: Loto Chopper Crash
when speedracer came by my house the chopper was about 8-10' off the deck of the boat..... now i would call that an agressive chopper pilot, right james? i am glad to hear they are alright though, all that other stuff is replaceable, but i bet some of those shots of speedracer were pretty cool...

i remember at the time thinking i hope he doesn't catch an oversized cruiser wake and trip that helo... that's how close he was to the water and speedracer...

While he as captain IS responsible , I'm sure he lost a lot also !
Hope you are allright as well .
