Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
Great pics at that speed, don't cut yourself short.
Why are we even talking about this?
2 guys in full race gear in a race boat.
4 guys in an open pleasure boat.
I agree with alot of people. It is a stupid PR stunt on many fronts, the most important one being the negative scrutiny this surely will bring on future poker runs.

Sheesh! Typical Reggie. I doubt he will show up for a while knowing all the big cats are gunning for him now.
I'd like to see how long his boat would last in a rough race.

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
The boats look almost dead even.....can't tell who passed who from those pics.
Fountain in a raceboat all geared up and Speed Racer just pleasure cruising (fast cruise
) is hardly a race. I am a V-bottom fan, but I'm sure if it were a race, then SR would have come ready and setup to run.
Reggie is getting alot of publicity out of all this. You know what?--IT's working I used to think Dennis Rodman did really stupid stunts, But he would generate alot of publicity and keep himself in the spotlight.....not such a bad idea

Did Rio Roses really accelerate that fast, or is that more of Reggie's creative editing?
I thought the V accelerated very fast also. From the looks of the video, Reggie left them in the dust
