We don't need proof, we were there. SR has called him out to run where everyone can see the whole thing. Not just the parts he wants you to see.

Not a false video, just a very segmented one. But yes he made a very large LIE. I know it is just marketing, but lie just the same he and Ben. :eek:

De-tuned and running at less than half squeeze and still broke? :eek:

The whole thing stinks. It would be like John Force bringing a top fuel funny car to the local drag strip Saturday night, beating up on the street racers and then bragging to the world about how baddass his car is. Good Grief, what a way to promote your product.

Did Reggie announce ahead of time that he would be bringing his "Cat Killer" to the poker run. Did he throw out an OPEN challenge to any and all cat owners and tell them he would beat all comers? NOPE, because someone would have accepted the challenge and brought a RACE boat to run against him.

With all the KW bull chit I often wondered why Reggie did not use his influence to get JC to allow all organizations to race since it would be better for the sport, but then I realized it would be more competition for Fountain and it appears being the big fish in a small pond is more apealing than fair competition :(

God forbid someone talked a little trash on OSO and said that they whipped someone's tail. I'm pretty sure it happens everyday on here, just so happens to be the president of a major high performance boat company. My hat's off to him for backing up what he spews out his mouth.

The point here is Rio Roses is EXTREMELY fast, it looks like he whipped Speed Racer, and was first to the card stop. (I'm sure that Speed Racer wasn't trying to be first to the stop as well! As I know he's much happier taking second or whatever place!)

Why do threads that get started by trolls get so much attention? Because he / she is good and knows how to rile up the masses. Could someone please do some investigation on where this fastandfriendly is located and their agenda? Oh yea, I forgot, trolls don't have an agenda. Their purpose in life is to generate passionate arguments, stoke the fire a little if it starts to die down, sit back and get a good laugh.

Kudos to you fastandfriendly. Well done.

Some of you guys get way too worked up over something you have no contol over. Let it go. It was just a Poker Run with a marketing stunt thrown in for good measure.

Carry on - sorry for the interruption.

Excuse me but this person is hardly a troll, they are a well respected person in the boating community. He clearly states who he is and where he is from. In fact, he has purchased a membership which means he has disclosed his identity.

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
 
This was a advertisment campaign, and a good one at that. It is a very fast boat no matter what anyone wants to admit. Is it fast than ANY cat that has equal power and weight? I don't think so. But still it is good for sales. I don't get upset when mc donalds starts a new commercial saying they have the BEST cheesburger. When I'm drunk , I'll eat at mcdonalds and enjoy it but when I want to get serious. I'm going to goldies. :D

That is a perfect way of looking at it!
I know I didn't hear one word about Reggie showing up. Infact, when the run was about to begin, the bridge for the train was down it was a total cluster F**K. All 100+ boats were crammed into this little bay waiting for the bridge to open. When it did we all had to funnel into the channel. This was time consuming and the fleet got very spread out. By the time we got through the bridge we were in the middle of the pack. We had about an 1/8 to 1/16 of a mile until the no wake zone ended. We were idling along with a bunch of other boats (cats and V's) cruising along,
All of a sudden a white boat shot down the left sideline FLYING!! not even close to being in the wake zone area. This caused all the other boats to get on it. I went to the parties and dinners and never heard of any kind of challenge.

Pure Energy 06-23-2006 08:15 AM

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
 
I can't believe anyone on this board is believing the claims on this video!!!

His boat is absolutely amazing and nothing can be said otherwise, but to say he beat the boats the way he did is just beyond imagination.

Please Reggie, make a legitimate challenge, no more cheap shots!!

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
 
My 2 cents..

It almost seemed like Fountain had this hole saga planned as a big marketing escapade.. Don't get me wrong.. I respect Reggie and what he has done for the industry but seems it was planned all along as a marketing gimic. From the close ups in the helicopter, verbage used, but what do I know.

I have to agree with Mr. Kent and the other MTI owners.. Bring it to the shoot out.. I bet Kilo Kat would even welcome Reggie over to have a cold drink... :eek: :drink:

This is the best stuff on OSO since the good ol days of the Apache threads... :D

Exactly! Speed racer is a pleasure boat, Rio Roses is a full blown race boat.
The only "Fair" challange for Rio Roses would be David Scott or Dave Callan, then it's Raceboat to Raceboat!!!

Anyone know why Reggie wasn't in the boat? I heard he was walking around in his race jump suit.

This is funny... reminds me of last summer when I pulled away from Mr_Velocity two times in one day on the ocean in the ole resin buckett. He still think's I sandbagged him and didn't give him enough time to catch up before I let off on the sticks cause I was so far ahead! :eek: :drink:

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
 
Ok........
I tried to stay away from the keyboard....but...

Some call this Marketing ? :confused:

At what expense?

I wonder how many people in that Poker Run or future Poker Runners will not return now because of this... :(

Was this even announced that this was going to happen at the Safety Meeting prior to the Run?

It may be hard to believe, but there are people that do Poker Runs for the fun of boating together and they do not want to participate in a race.

Reading that a fleet of Poker Run boats were idling through a No Wake Zone and suddenly have a Race boat pass them at hi speed would certainly shake a few people that had their families out for the day on the run.

Sure, someone will bring up the NY Run. But in years prior, it was announced that there would be a challenge of 1st to the Bridge. They also had a separate start for this.

As of this year, after the Safety Summit in Miami and the Insurance Companies decided to lay down the rules, the King of the Hudson has been eliminated from the NY Run. Will this be a trend throughout the rest of the Poker Runs?
Was the Insurance company for the Jax Run aware they were insuring a race? Being as it sounds like from so many people that this was pre-planned.
Or perhaps "if" an incident occurred, the Insurance Company wouldn't have been liable to pay out because they weren't insuring a race.

I'm not taking any credit away from Fountain for what they have been able to get that Vee Bottom to do, but if they want to challenge people to a race, than do it in a proper manner.

He had a full opportunity to do it at the worlds last year in Key West. Why were they so afraid of competition then and would not let other's compete in Super Vee Unlimited? Oh yeah that's right, a World Championship Title was at risk.... :rolleyes: So he went out and beat himself without even completeing one lap...

I will go out on a limb here. With the confidence they have now, and Reggie will need something spectacular to bring people to Key West this year, I predict an Open Invitation to race him in Key West this year!

If they haven't already planned that, then maybe they should!

It certainly would be worth advertising and watching...

May the best team win! :drink:

That video is hilarious, he states that they are beating the cats on the race course.

All you have todo is go back to f2 & f3 racing same motors, the cats usually laped the v's even in rough water. And I think there were some fountains even.

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
 
I have one of those fast cats that runs race gas or 93. The boat is far faster than most boats just on pump gas at a Poker Run. Why spend the money for race fuel and risk blowing very expensive engines running WOT. I go to have a good time with my wife and friends. Sure I will pass boats and sometimes we lay back and watch. If you shot some video last weekend at the Thunderfest Poker Run of my MTI it could have been in dead last or way out front depending on when I was taped. Reggie could have used it in his video how all his Fountains crushed me. LOL.

I will continue to go to Poker Runs for the fun and let Reggie stick to racing on the couirse.

Dear Mr Foutain,
How about entering Fouintain Super V's in the Super Cat class from now on? They are faster, handle better and will take out the cats in rough water right? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

...now, there's the bottom line.

FYI - If my wife rode with a friend of mine and I found out he ran in excess of 130 MPH I'd be p!ssed. Way to be responsible, Speed ---

Oh, and by the way.... the first time a v passes a cat (with same power) in a race, I'm sure we'll all hear about it. Until then... knock it off Weggie ---- save it for the race.

P.S. RF - Thanks for instigating all the "race" talk around our insurance guru's. I'm sure our renewal rate conversation about "really..... Total Dollar, I don't race on Poker Runs" will have much more credibility now! -------- Jerk.

I think this Fountain stunt is B.S. but you do have a point when the water gets that big. I ran the DSM run in 8-10's to the Island in my Top Gun and the water slowed down a lot of faster boats. We were able to finish second behind a Tiger in a boat that only ran 85 mph, but we were able to run 85 the whole way to and from the island. You definitely have a point, but Reggie's statements about being a cat killer based on pure speed is ridiculous.

you two obviously have never been in a Skater in big water... I'd much pref. it over my TG anytime (in big water conditions).
