Brodco roll over
 

Was watching the live stream and it looked very violent. I was holding my breath at what seemed like forever to get the word that they were both out of the boat. I am just glad that both Chuck and Grant looked like they were ok. Great sportsmanship shown by WHM for giving up there chance to win by hanging around to make sure there friends were ok.

I think the same. WHM was a class act and was grate to see. We all have to look out for each other. Glad everyone was ok.

I saw it to. It took some time to get out. I sure hope there ok. It looked like they are. An your right about WHM.

so ...it was un sportsmanlike for stihl to keep running ,?at a slower pace I may add ?

this isn't svl .you cant splinter this class with innuendo.

Why start Sh*t? Randy posted a sincere thread. I also was glad Chuck and Grant were OK and also held my breath untill they got out. I don't think there was ANY inuendo in Randy's post!

I don't usually get involved but you are a real azz.

Was a brilliant display of good equipment. And for style... :Score-101010:

Looked bad and the wait for them to get out was eternity.

That said, WHM made the tough choice. They saw up close how bad the wreck was. They stayed. Kudos.

Stihl was too far away to get any idea of the scene other than knowing they went over. No knock to Stihl for continuing.

I do think it would be mighty sportsmanlike of STIHL to ask to have the 1st/2nd points split evenly with WHM.

APBA used to base your finishing position on your position at the time of the incident if you stopped to render assistance . Do other organizations also use this method ?

imo,whm is first class!

Glad they are both safe. That's what matters. Kudos to Jay and Billy as well, classy guys.

I know what you are talking about , but they changed that to proceed with caution and do not stop, OPA will red flag automatically if a boat goes over... I agree totally with cash

STIHL was way behind and by the time they got to the rollover site Chuck and Grant were standing on the boat clearly visible. Don't blame them for continuing.

While Broadco's rollover was a terrible accident, the livestream commentary did a disservice to those who like me were glued to the computer by some romantic comments that had little basis in reality.

Very Happy to hear that Chuck and Grant are ok after that roll, as all of us saw that was a Violent wreck, wishing them and the boat a speedy recovery.. And I agree that Billy and Jay showed some real class, Nice work guys, you are true role models for our sport....


And speaking of Role Models... I like a Kock or too or however you say it??? Great role model for being a True D*ck Bag... Thanks for your insight

I dont think anyone is blaming them for continuing to run like some sead they wernt right there when it happened. We r just saying it was nice to see jay and Billy give up the win to look into the safety of there fellow racers thats all.

:food-smiley-007: we need a recliner emotican .

As a racer unlike you we have compassion and feelings for our fellow racers when tragedy occurs. Its a natural instinct to want to help even if you know you cant and are instructed not to assist. I was only saying that sportsmanship always trumps a win. There were no winners IMO that day. We all race for pride not our sponsors in Offshore racing. I have all the respect for Stihl and no issue for them to continue and win. It really was the smart play that will possibly play out big at the end of the season with points.

And yes, you do look fat in that dress.

Seriously guys.... WHM left the course because they lost a motor. We are all trained to continue running and not stop to render help (as much as we want do so) as we may hamper a rescue effort underway. We are to race with caution around accident site until otherwise told to do so by Race Control or Red Flagged . This is why we all continue to Navigate the course.

BTW. WHM got their motor started and returned to the course to finish 3+ adl laps. Stihl injured a motor during the stuff and limped to finish from there.

All of the superboat racers are stand up guys and would help each other in a min if there was an emergency. enough of the speculation

Thanks for the clarification. I rescind my suggestion that STIHL offer up points to WHM. Congrats to them.
