just checkin

I agree with Joe Vazquez in that you do not jump into a Supercat and go racing without good practice time. I have now "some" experience and if they ask me to jump on a Supercat without pracitce time I would say NO.
Again I agree with Joe in that at least they should start on the outside and maybe get more agresive after a few laps.

Doc, I can't agree with you more!

NIT2WIN, nice to have you on the board. I remember your 2nd place in Key West. You ran that boat hard!

Yup they sould keep them to the outside regardless. I have not specifics on the accident. I looked around but can not find any info. However Boats like that take a lot of time to get used to. I am sure that the team is more humble then they were at the start of the race. I thought that Reggie F. was sapposed to be his t-man???

I used to own a D stock outboard hydro and under thier rules a new driver had to stay on the outside and at the back of the pack for several races. You also had an X for a number so the other drivers knew you were a rookie.I always thought that was a good idea.

I our first races in both SBI and APBA, we had to stay 100yds behind everyone.

i could see why!!!

That is what happens when you take a competitive sport and turn it into a business. Marketing, marketing, marketing. I'm sure our beloved Bubba would have loved posting," Jason Priestly wins the SBI Miami Grand Prix" I will say that I was disappointed that the SBI media relations dept. reported to channel 7 news that Jason Priestly could not finish the race because he was cut off by another boat. I saw the video and they couldn't possibly be talking about Pier 57 could they?

Joe,
Were you in the Seminole boat in 2000? Weren't you guys hitting 100 with only three motors going in the second race??

Wow, I hope that was a misquote...
That would be worse than what actually happened, but I'm sure it's just a miscommunication.
