T2X,

Being that you were or are in the commentation field I'd like your thoughts on what transpired with what was reported to Channel 7 here in Miami. Is that something that we are going to have to live with if we want to continue in this sport?

Are you being honest with youself?
 
I actually just read this entire thread without losing interest and I just had to get my two prop turns in.

I have raced almost everything..not profesionally. I like most of the guys (and girls) on this board like to think of myself as some what savy behind the wheel. As a new (supercat light class)Cat owner with stock merc 500's and 40 hours under my belt (recreational) I can honestly say you would have to be PLUMB CRAZY to jump into anything resembiling a supercat without proper training and experience. The aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces are tremendous and can't be learned on one lap.

To enter a race and go for the win was pure neglegence.



Plumgirl you are out of line and not being honest with yourself, regardless of the details of the accident.

step up or step aside

DJD with your play by play calling skills you should have been the one with the speedvision gig--not marcus--:D

From my limited knowledge and from reading all the posts, something must be done. We have world class racers on this forum all agreeing that he should have started behind the pack. It is simply unacceptable for a rookie to expect to run competitively on his first race in a foreign boat. We all learn from mistakes, so lets(racers) change the rules so it doesnt happen again.
Regards,
Chris

Not nearly as good as it is going to get when Plumgirl comes back on to teach us a thing or two about competitive offshore racing:)

NIT2WIN 04-25-2002 06:23 PM

I don't know maybe she can teach me something about my old T-man D.C. that I don't already know.:rolleyes:
