Glad to hear everyone is ok. That has got to be a pretty scary feeling having the boat come around like that!

Glad you are ok. Next time you have a lead like that TAKE IT SLOW IN THE CORNERS ;) Glad you are ok and that the boat and family survived.

Glad you guy's are ok. Take some advice here.......If you have a 25 boat length advantage your obviously faster. Make up your time in the straights and take a wider - SLOWER pace in the turns. Ya know your acting just like a ROOKIE - haha - BH

Glad everyone is OK...what will you do different in the future?

Re: The Gladiator chronicles (lead, spin, eject)
 

really please to see you guys out there...and more so to see u2 were ok!....get that thing ready for F2....let me know if ya need anything...

dh,,,like we talk about get'n off the gas is the problem most of the time!

seems like this sport is all about being a hero or a zero...crashing is part of racing...learn from it, go faster, and move on...i hope no one comes in here rip'n on u or the boat!...take care

Re: The Gladiator chronicles (lead, spin, eject)
 

Its not the boat, its the way its driven. I watched Wilma and Brian spin in the same turn at the same speed chasing you guys. Bottom line is that if you are hanging your ass out over the edge you might just get spanked..... and we did. This whole thing makes us stronger as a team though. I am confident that we have the speed to be competitive in F2 and look forward to dialing in the F2 set up for the coming races. Joe, you dont have a set of Herrings I could try do you???

Dlaw and Bruce were the focal point of my Marathon Article. They'll have great coverage in Extreme Boats mag. Not the next issue, but the one after that.

I'm just glad that they came home without a scratch.
