believe me the work involved is a LOT easier to deal with when you do not have to worry about cutting the checks...and in all reality traveling in a mystic at near 200 mph isn't all that bad in most conditions if the bottom stays intact...

Nobody writes checks in this economy for average and let's keep in mind that Marc and Scotty have "run around in circles" nearly 100 times before having a mishap! You can call it what you want, but even Cosker flipped one and Arruda is dealing with issues early in the game! I stand firmly saying that not everyone can do what they've done and that said, we'll just have to agree to disagree!

I have to disagree, just because its 50' long, 200 MPH is still 200 FREAKIN MILES PER HOUR. No room for error and everything happens very fast.

I'm just going to say that we have different perspectives on it. Yours is from the outside looking in and mine is from the inside looking out and ahead for the past six years.

We look forward to her racing again. TM will have her back in shape in no time. Remember, she has had one race we are crossing our 100th race over 150mph. With persistence she will have her day just as we did. It's not something that can be rushed as you will pay with your life. Any team can be beat with planning practice,determination and money.
I would caution any team gunning for Miss Geico, if she (Miss G) is healthy she is a formidable opponent. Underestimate us at your peril.
Turbine Class, Superboat Unlimited,Extreme... we are all running for Top Dog and right now it's inconsistent for various reasons (health,accidents,cost,luck) so don't make too many assumptions most of the owners didn't get where they are by giving up.
As noted we are a professional race team and may of our competitors are part time. There is a difference in resources applied. That said , again, anyone can be beat.
We view our job as servicing our sponsor, please the fans and be great ambassadors to our sport.
Love us , Hate us...we'll keep doing what we do best.

Please Explain the conditions YOU were in that werent that bad to you at 200 mph +.
I would love to hear comments from the other veterans of mystic ( owner racers ) at 200 mph ,and compare them to your,e experience .
I mean each of us react differently as far as our seat time in almost identical boats .
