Whoever gets Jim POed has to be a major league idiot, there is not a better, bigger hearted guy around promoting & dedicated to our hobby.
Remember what Theo said... again one who did his own thing...
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
So you critics chew on this.

Possibly Jim's activities didn't raise your insurance rates...maybe your false statements did???
Simple observation. Call me the a$$clown police.

Yet. If you keep up those actions it won't be a matter of if but when. I don't consider taking both hands off the wheel at over 100 m.p.h. to slap high fives while your foot is pushing the throttles to be very safe. But that is just my opinion. I also noticed that the video was removed from youtube....interesting.
The big difference is I was wearing a Lifeline jacket in the picture with my hands on the wheel and throttles.
