Maybe you should tell us who you are. Its not that difficult, is it?

Hmm...ok Mark you wanna Play Too. Do You feel left out?
BOO HOO

How many offshore races have you raced in? vs. How many boats have you washed? I may only have a 28 foot Pantera. But I can tell you I have over 30 races on it. Some in huge water. It may only be worth a small portion of Bretts Cig. But I have more money into my race boat than you probably make in three years. So, lets not stroke our egos. Theres always gonna be someone who makes (and Spends) more money than the next. But I dont think you or Brett have the right to rip into Randy unless its good clean race smack talk. He may not always be politically correct, and he may piss many of you off. But I think, he earned his credibility on the race course not behind a computer. It doesnt matter if he has a partner in his boat. I can tell you he runs just as hard if not harder than anyone out there and pushes the envelope everytime. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't. But he deserves the respect that he repairs the boat himself, and goes right back out and runs just as hard all over again.

Hes not a one crash and your out kinda guy. And I respect him for that.

All you guys are , is talk on the computer. Randy backs himself up on the water. Thats the way it should be.

If you cant back it up...SHUT UP!!!!!

What is this the "I am badder than you because I have raced more"?? You guys are a joke. Let me inject some reality here Bruce..... How many races you have won makes absolutely no difference in debating most issues relative to the sport. Maybe in setup and course issues or rule infractions but Randy rarely discusses that. I hardly think that MD needs your protection. We have debated, *****ed, fought, and apologized many times. I have criticized Randy, and I have expressed concern when he got hurt. I have never made a personal attack on him. You have disclosed personal information about my arrangement with Dave, (not Val) in an effort to belittle me and that is bull$hit. I have also said that I have been reluctant to get back on the course for a number of reason, which to you means that I am scared. Well, I have a 4 year old and a wife that is expecting a second child in September. It makes her physically ill when I talk about racing because she knows the risks and I am the sole breadwinner in my family..... this is the same reason Dave isnt racing. Does that make him a ***** too? I assure you that making sure that I dont get hurt or killed is much more important to the people in my life than getting a $15 dollar trophy and the approval from you to debate Randy in this forum.

Both Shane and Randy were told about the race prior to the letter being handed out during the same day (Sat - 4/30). Shane was in Marathon and OSS in Pickwick.

Now, did they read it????? That's a whole other question. I know the OSS teams read it very carefully and voted to attend.

Uh, and shouldn't we be working today???

Brett...perfectly understandable and respectable reasons.

In that case, maybe you should just state the facts and stop bull$hitting everyone that you'll be racing anytime soon.(in a supercat no less) I have not disclosed any financial arrangements you have with anyone, you just did. I merely stated that your boat is not paid for, so you you shouldnt be ripping into Randy. He's invested quite a bit of ching in the past five years. If you say you nevermade a personal attack on Randy, what were you inferring with your recent post toward him?

Your concern for him after the accident is admirable. With all the BS and attacks that go on here, the last any of us wat to see, is for someone to get injured doing what they enjoy. Even if safety precautions were not adhered to.

I know he doesnt need my protection, hes a big boy. Hes also my friend and I know him better than you and my other friend Mark Mattews do. And I can tell you hes not as bad as he may appear on here.

If we all just stuck to good old fashion smack talk, it would be a much better place. But , no matter how hard we try. We continue to derail threads in this forum with personal attacks. (me included)

So, until it stops with everyone there will always be someone else defending their ground.

In closing i appeal to the all mighty moderators to require anyone who posts in this forum, to disclose their real names. Its only fair to know who we are ripping into or that is ripping into us.

thanks and have a great day

I gotta go with Brett on this one, a trophy??? Lisa is scared to death, that's why she don't come to the races and to tell you the truth, I'm a little nervous after last years New York Bang Off The Side Of The Condo. That $hit Hurts and STILL hurts every morning, or when it rain, or when it's cold. Brett, do what you have to do for you and your Family.

Shane, I did what I could. I handed personally addressed envolopes to Smitty for you and Cory before he left. All he needed to do was hand them out, like I did in Pickwick.

Who really cares at this point anyhow?

I think this horse has been pretty well beaten to death, don't you?

True that...its over and done. Shane isnt coming and Cory probably will not either. So lets move on.

with that said, how many of you southern boys will make the trip up here? Its time to show some loyalty toward your northern racing buddies, whom have already made 4 trips down south, and I believe will be in Dania beach next week.

We may post under other screen names not to decieve, and we identify ourselves in signing off. Theres only 3 people that post on Randys computer. Me, Willy or Randy. Im sure you can tell who is who by now. Regardless, Willy signs Wil, Randy always signs MD and I generally identify my self

Dont try to twist this around Mark. there are some people, IMO that are doing nothing more than stirring the pot, while remaining anonymous. Thats BS.

Your very creative with your icons. Now apply some of that skill toward making things better around here instead trying to push peoples buttons.
