My friend and i had left about 15 minutes before. Scary huh...

This just in from Ssherman: Two men were shot at Ricks Upstairs in KW--mixed reports on whether or not there were fatalites, but one definatley lived.
(Also, as reported from a "Hidden Agenda" crew member, they did a complete barrell roll and landed right side up on lap one re-entering the harbor at Sunday's Race.)

Scuba Steve 11-25-2002 03:52 PM

One guy did die after taking a bullet to the neck. RIcks was empty the next night! Yeah and that barrel roll by Hidden Agenda was a nail bitter. Glad everyone was OK. We were freakin' when we saw it becuae we could not hear the broadcast (because the APBA brough two speakers) and figured out who it was as they came passed us on the pier.

RumRunner 11-25-2002 08:26 PM

Supposedly the two guys at Rick's were friends !

Hidden Agenda is set up without tops on the canopies, but they have full roll cages in them to prevent them from being knocked off.

It was a very scary looking roll, sure glad they're OK

I wasn't aware that Jack's canopy was open-where did you find that out Cat??

RumRunner 11-25-2002 08:58 PM

I don't think Jacl's Canopies had tops on them either. I think they said he was claustrophobic

You can read the whole story at www.keysnews.com. No one ended up dying. One guy taken to Ryder Trauma Center in Miami, but he did live.

Catmando is right about Jack Carmody's canopies, here is a quote from Powerboat after the accident:

But the canopies on the Carlos n' Charlies boat were not standard F-16 canopies. "Apparently, Jack was claustrophobic," Allweiss said. "So he had the (canopy) hatches removed and the profile lowered so he could breathe and function better."

What night did this happen? I was there (keys) all week. Must have been hammered:rolleyes: Could not get the site to load for key news.

BattleCry 11-26-2002 02:25 AM

I didn't know about someone getting shot. I saw a couple of fights. I watched one. The cops laid the smack-down on a guy that was clearly resisting. And was right in the middle of another one with two guys fighting over whose LENGTH was longer. DAMN MEASURING CONTEST!

If you weren't there in Key West you missed one hell of a party at Rumrunners Upstairs. It was total carnage. I Love Women. Also at Ricks and Sloppy Joes. TONTO and GANG (did I capitalize that? I thought I did! lol) have really started to perfect their partying skills. You couldn't have asked for a better group of individuals to hangout with. Totally First-Class. Next time drinks are on me.
