After that footage was posted last year didn't the driver of the boat come on here and say that they were going to release the on board footage to justify the idiotic behavior?

Just saying
Never stated that it was, but actions like these cause accidents, and accidents cause untimely and unfortunate deaths.

Not going to bring up what has been in brought and beat to death many, many, many times. But Bill P has more seat time in ultra high HP boats than most everyone on this site. I am more than willing to bet he knew exactly what what going on during that.

Yes yes i know..."what if a drive broke". To me that is a separate arguement .

Either way....the footage to me still left questions and seemed one side of a complete story. That's my thoughts on that topic.

Experience yes, but that move leaves much room for concern. And yes, you're right, this was gone over a billion times last year so I'll refrain.

When they try to put the brakes on these events you can bet your bottom dollar it was because they excluded people or sponsers !This year poker runs&races were canceled or restricted because of few egotistic millionares?I've notices a lot of events cancled or changed because of the you can't stop me attitude AKA EGO!Good luck with the run be safe!

I stood up for Bill using the same argument........that being said, should the best racecar driver be allowed to run 100+ mph in a busy Home Depot parking lot?

the beginning of the end of these events all-together started years ago.

and for all the right reasons...starting with the "high roller playdate" mood and mentality.

rather than flame me- instead search your souls brothers and sisters and tell me you have no idea what I'm talking about?
