YouTube "Race" Video
 

I just found this "race" video on Youtube.com. With guys like this out on the water....it's no wonder real race teams are catching flack.

What do you think?

I thought Poker Runs weren't "races".

But hey, all the elements are there...green flag, driver, throttleman, navigator, fast boat, other fast boats...so what's the difference?

Oh yea...no helmets, no race PFDs, no safety choppers and passengers on board.

whatever that boat was moving........... i am more curious who was behind him flying up like he wasn't sheet and cutting through his wake..........

Been posted in GD several times. It was a video made at the Havasu Poker Run in '04. Was on the extreme boats website for a while.

Yes, that is "160" you hear him say. All those cats were haulin' balls.... :eek:

That clip was in the DVD "Pegged".

Re: YouTube "Race" Video
 

That whole group of people are dumber than a box of rocks running that hard with absolutely no reguard for safety at all.

Wow, never before has the "I'm with Stupid" smilie ever been more relevant! Personally I hold my life a little higher in value than a set of headsets!

Why are poker runs so in jeopardy again?!...that driver's an idiot plain and simple.

Looks like fun to me.Was a little ruff in a few places,dancing :D .

They claim the other guy that cut behind him lost a motor but if ya look close he still is shooting a rooster tail till he goes off screen.

And we question how these leathal accidents happen........ there's your answer! Ego....money...and balls bigger than their brains!!!

Re: YouTube "Race" Video
 

WC all 3 qualities you mentioned are useful in racing too, lol.
It's just the lack of regard for there passengers, and also there own safety. And it's far from the dumbest thing i've ever seen at a pokerrun. Again I'm not knocking pokerruns, there orginizers put a lot of time into them to keep them safe and fun. 5 years ago 2 cats flipped at an event over here. neither was entered in the run, they just wanted to "tag along". After that no more pokerruns here.

I'm with you Rob, looks like fun. That run does get pretty hairy on the first leg. It is really narrow and now there are alot more boats running out front with Gary(Predator) than there were when that video was shot.

good footage... :drink:

Re: YouTube "Race" Video
 

Crazy to say the least! Not a race huh?

Re: YouTube "Race" Video
 

Did I miss something other than no safety choppers? Water was calm, got alittle close to guy on left but seems they did a good job driving and trim. Out in front at 160, what is the problem? Just asking not trying to start anything. Guy seemed to know his boat very well.
