Re: New engine technology, or Hocus Pocus.....?
Chris, so you fault Reggie for promoting his company? You think Reggie should promote is business just like all the other boat builders? I don't! Aronow had his face in a few Cig ad's just so you know....he was a pretty colorful charactor as well back in his day. Reggie is a seriously acomplished racer and his boats have some serious acomplishments with him in them and with other teams. Reggie stands behind the boat and his and there acomplishments so he should be reconized in some of the ad's...after all his name is on the side of every boat.

They're punctuation marks. You may not need them all but I'm thinking that a few of the periods might come in handy.

You did bring out another point that I missed -naming the company after himself. Not too many of the other "big egos" have done that. I do seem to remember now that Don was in a couple ads- but not all of them.

If it works... Who wants one of these motors ??? 
If it never works... Who is glad that it was not their time, money, and effort that went into testing this technology ??? 
I think we all will have the same answer to these questions. Regardless of who is doing the testing, or how they choose to promote their brand, we will all benefit from this.
BTW... it appears that the cause of the engine failure was human error/oversight on an external component.

Just remember business is business, as it should be. Don't confuse the two.
Making ugly remarks about his attire etc. only shows immaturity and I would expect it...on an elementary school playground but not here.
