Does it really matter. I thought this was a poker run. Golddigger could have easily been first if I wanted to push it. We had a our wives with us and had no intention to run real hard. Too many egos

My only questions are, did the Cash/Cat Killer boats make to the first stop? And were there any V-Hulls that beat them? That sounds like it may be an interesting thread.

Reggies guys were there Saturday for one reason, to do the same thing. If things went differently I would have been the schmuck in the video this morning.
If any of the story isn't true, why isn't Reggies video posted here? Why did Reggies boat run 8 miles, turn around and go back on the trailer. No lunch stop, no cocktail party, no dinner, GONE by the time we got back. Because he was not there for a poker run.
We got a call from a friend this morning that said he heard from someone on this board that Reggie said his guys blew by us and dominted us for 17 miles. I hope to God he didn't really say that. I know he is a better man than that. I know my child hood idol is man enough to admit he was beaten. Everyone is entitled to a bad day. The next one may be mine (I have a lot of them). I am open to a rematch at any time. I just hope in my heart my child hood idol which I looked up to like a rock star for years, that made me love this sport, keeps his integrity and admits it was just not their day.

Being first at the stop really don't mean much, however. It all depands on how hard you want to push your boat.
I know that many "fast boats with big horses" don't want to brake their $3000 flat screen TV, just to get the first few spots at lunch. (it's a good thing I don't have a flat screen. )
Just wondering.. if the Poker Run clubs would make a fun run.. more of a friendly "race" run before or after the actual poker run, for boats that want to participate. In line start.. designated finish spot.. etc.. Then you can actually brag about speeds and winnings. Being front at first stop may just mean that he didn't stop for (or was front of) a boat that had some mech. trouble. (several boats and I stopped several times to check on some boats that seemed to have trouble)
Just a thought and my .02
