It has everything to do with the fact that the entire discussion is not supposed to matter. This was a poker run, right? Or did I, from my office 3,000 miles away, miss something? Matt....I'm with you! Just wait till MyWay takes another dangerous run up north again and they kill themselves this time (or someone else). :evilb: |
During the weekend, I never ran in a boat that went over 100mph. They could have, but didn't.
And, the winner of the poker run was: First Place: Julie & Wayne Casey from ONT 39' Cigarette V UNRULY CREW II with 2 Mercury Racing total hp: 1400hp Second Place: Brian & Tammy Farley from NY 36' Cigarette V GLADIATOR 2 Mercury Racing total hp: 1050hp Third Place: Matt Powers from KY 38' Nor-Tech V NOR-TECH with 2 Mercury Racing total hp: 1050hp |

I never saw PP on Thursday, but some friendly competition between them would be something for pay-per-view. The red/blk/white MTI had some wicked sounding engines. Will try to get the video up later today. |

At the time of the picture they were between groups and just cruising down to Gilberts for lunch. Blume what you are referring too was after lunch just before destination at Holiday Isles and of course different.
I didn't look at every post in this thread but from what I can tell not one person who posted here was even on a boat during the run and really doesn't know ****. I was there in my boat behind them all. I have driven both boats (DCB M41 and Bills 388) within the last 7 days and the truth can of course be found somewhere else. So keep running your keyboards and we will keep running our boats. Long Break Out! RD |

RD This is exactly why I don't want these guys teaching me how to drive MY cat. I know how to leave my ego at the door. |

RD The implication was then followed on by many that further implied there was competition on the poker run. REALITY; Tony, Dave and the owners cruised comfortably all the way to destination and never encountered the Skater at all because it wasn't even on the run. Safe proper running was the goal of the day and that is what they did. They were not there to prove anything or compete with anyone. Day two we returned to Gilbert's to run down with with smaller group. The DCB left way before the group. By the time they got to Islamorada the Skater caught up. Both operators knew there was nowhere else to run and they idled to the marina, it is a recreational boating event To imply or suggest anything else especially given all the work we have done to promote safety in this segment is irresponsible especially given the attention FPC's new initiative has received to suggest there was any competition. I will not respond on this forum anymore beyond this. You all know how to reach me. Furthermore, I don't guess, speculate, or run with opinion. I evaluate, measure and demonstrate with real statistics and measurable performance. Just like I did throughout my entire Coast Guard Career. I don't have an ego about any of this, I have proven results and accomplishments that are recordable. |
