Another reason I'd never race a boat without a canopy :eek:

open87 12-06-2007 04:14 PM

amazing that canopy took that hit like that.. it did it's job!

I think I was running 5th when that happened, in
The Black Pearl #16 with my buddy David Peterson. Was there not a rain delay?
It's hard to feel positive about a busted lid that was there to protect your head.

Who was in the boat that did the hitting?

Noticed they did not even stop!

Wild 12-06-2007 05:33 PM

you can see a prop mark on the top of the canopy about 10" from his head

im thinkin if the canopy was not there he would be dead

mrhorsepower1 12-06-2007 08:33 PM

Wow! Very lucky guys!:eek:

Hey smart azz. If you had ever been in a race you'd know that trying to catch up is always a harder battle than leading.
I've worked a LOT harder running 3-4-5 than I have when I won the race. They were back there also.
Doesn't Woods have somebody's azz you need to kiss? :-D

Wild, The drives ripped open the engine compartment then the boat rolled all the way over & righted itself. The most unfortunate part was that it ended Sckroki's racing. A true competitor along with the "ones who did the hitting".

It was Mike Flanigan and Bob Teague. :eek:

Their boat landed, rolled, and then righted itself. Tore the tab off and shiit loose but they did continue on. I've spoken to Mike about it many times. Too fast to react, infinite time to relive.
