About Collision Course: The Murder of Don Aronow
Not sure if this has been posted before. Collision Course: The Murder of Don Aronow - ESPN Films: 30 for 30 It was new to me. |
Never heard of it.
Thanks for posting it. *EDIT* Just watched it and do remember seeing it before. One of the main characters in the movie, Mickey Munday, wasnt he co-owner/creator of Powerplay? |
Thanks for posting...very interesting. Is there any additional videos/movies telling the/showing Aronow story of racing....Would love to learn more about the man that created this sport that we all love so much.

From what I can tell, Brownies book tells the most accurate story ( in no particular order😉) of offshore boating/racing. Don was more the poster child/front man/ shrewd business mans than creator. He paid other people to do his heavy lifting in a sport that already existed.

I don't think Mickie Munday had anything to do with Powerplay. Danny Weinstein was the founder. Mickie Munday did build boats, there is a thread about it somewhere. I think his life was in complete turmoil/on the run from the Feds while Powerplay was taking off. |
Dans pot smuggling partner?

Hey full force and twin - u two know 0 - go find and buy a piece of land and build a factory with your own mony - never mind 1 plug - then go race and see how u do - ha
the man was a legitimate once in a lifetime American icon and hero - no equals yesterday or today Brownie is bluster with no 1 to contradict him - he owes his boating life to Don as do 1000s of others including an entire South Florida Cuban-American population - w/o Don, there is no international love for offshore powerboats - others did the "heavy lifting" - ha - ignorant statement - Sunny Miller is one u can listen to - the others are still wondering how he did it and y it wasn't them - coming to Miami in 61 and changing the world by 1970 - Please - its hard to give credit to others but here, this man deserves very accolade known to man |
Wow. That went downhill fast!
