Healing time duration from the accident and tact. Your statements are true but keep in mind these families need time to grieve and heal. So tact is in order. OSO positive threads expressing support is all that is need now. It's only been 4-days since the accident and they don't need to add rage to their pain. They have memorial services to plan and life after loss to figure out. I met these guys for the first time Friday afternoon when they brought their boat in and parked behind me. I just talked with them briefly and I could tell they were top notch people. After reviewing all the support It's obvious I am correct. I was behind them in the second group when I came up on the accident just past Ramsey Point. My heart sank and I've felt like crap since. Let the families and friends heal.. There will be plenty of time to analyze the crash. JMO

those guys were running insane speeds just a few yards from other boats... did you feel sad for evil kenivel when he crashed jumping the fountain at ceasars palace?

Nope he was getting paid a fortune. Lets analyze later. For respect

Someone let me know when I can post my ideas about publicly shaming the maniac drivers caught on vdeo.

Dude u r an idiot! Go ahead and save your anger and energy for next week if your still mad at the world and u can express your opinion all day long if others on here really wanna hear your heartless thoughts!

Do you have ANY friends......small minds have small thoughts . THINK

If you have ideas that might improve safety of the poker runs........bring it to this thread HERE

While I agree, respect for those who suffered recent losses is a must it would be in those family members best interest to stay away from the Forums, Local News & Media in general. I work w/ some of the most popular & successful drivers in NASCAR & if you ask them good bad or indifferent they do their best to avoid reading & or following stories about themselves. They maybe high paid, successful superstars but they are also human w/ real feelings regardless of their success.

The families have way more important things to tend to than to worry about each & everyone of our opinions. They know there loved ones better than any of us could have so they need not worry about what everyone else thinks. I didn't know either gentleman but it appears they were both very well respected & liked within the boating community. Many kind things have been said about each of them as well as respects paid by those who have never met them. Those that are close to their loved ones can summarize the many great posts that have been made on their behalf throughout the Forums in various threads w/o the families themselves having to manage their feelings sifting thru the positive & negative posts.

Just my $02

That discussion was eliciting some very good thoughts, from both sides.
Some good questions were asked, and just about enough video shown to begin to understand the situation.
Maybe the understanding of what happened is what no one really wants to admit.
The discussion will just move over somewhere.
Won't be able to close them all!
That is the internet.

No one said it was shut down , matter of fact it was said give it a rest for a couple of days . Differences aside were like an extended family here in a way & to help each other out . So consider the family's & children of our extended family here including yourself . Perhaps discussing a topic isn't really that important at this time of loss & OSO is a class act for reminding us of what is important at this time .
