Bingo-we have a winner.Over on riverdaves some one posted that this guy was banned from ever participating in a poker run at lake cumberland due to reckless driving last year.Obviously had DS organizers knew this-he would have been banned there too as they have a cooperating agreement where as banned at one -banned at all.

Since this is how the boat was trimmed out when it was pulled from the water, it might explain why he wasn't turning...

If it's true and those drives where at that level of trim. That boat would be so loose and hard to correct direction at that speed for sure.

It did flip upside down. I bet the drives moved at least a little from where they were.

Ive seen several of the pics/vids of the DCBs and they seem to like to carry the bow pretty high, just a observation, I could be mistaken.

Hydraulics have a real good way of keeping themselves in place.

I'd wager it had more to do with the "oh-my-holf-fuc&ing-$hit-we're-gonna-die" hand maneuvers.

How were the others running stupidly? Just because they were driving faster than say you would? A Lil close ya maybe, other then that what was the problem? Wide open lake/river & good conditions.

Who buys a boat w/ 2700+hp to go 50mph? Who enters a poker run for a leisure cruise? Yes it's obviously not a race, but having a Lil comroderie & bragging rights is a facet of every day life in almost everything. This country has became so uptight about every little thing any more it's sickening......

Glad the guys are ok....it's nice to learn a lesson without losing a life. If the driver is a hazard hope he gets banned for good....his maneuver looks very questionable but their could have been mechanical issues. God Speed

WOW THAT WAS INCREDIBLY STUPID. Holy ****, who the **** goes a 160 20 behind another boat.

Pause the clip at 2:56. Who is pinching who there? It appears from the video, which I understand only gives us a limited view, that the boat on the far right is pinch the three boats on the left. There appears to be open water to the right side of the lake at that time while there is a boat going the opposite direction on the left along with the spectator fleet. The boat on the right seems to be pinching the three boats on the left side. Thoughts?
