Most important is that the drivers are fine. Shame that such a great race boat-turned exhibition boat was lost.

Now it is time for some top-down management of the offshore racing world. These guys are the tops. Build a new boat that several others can duplicate to create real, competitive racing. I have no doubt the Geico team would still prevail, but there would be some great battles along the way.

Have always been a fan, pretty sure the lemons presented are already being squeezed to make some tasty lemonade.

1st I've heard of this :( We were out boating all day yesterday. Glad to hear that Marc and Scotty are OK, that's most important thing here. The boat can and will be replaced, and then these 2 need for SERIOUS speed fellows will back on the water, and running out front! :)

Not sure this is what you're referring to, but a mis-hop at MI City 2011 :eekdrop:

Glad all are ok in Sarasota.

Marc & Scotty were just making lite of what could have been a catastrophe!

Extremely happy both crews in both very serious incidents are ok!

Im not seeing the karma or the ouch cuz knowing Scotty and Marc, they would still like to see their friends come to Sarasota and bring their boats to run or to hang out ..... and knowing their friends/fellow racers, they'd love to be there.....

typical a$$ kissing post

If you remove suck, squeeze,bang, blow=fire. Damn shame it tore up such a badass boat. But don't quote me, just what I think may have happened

Don't worry - noone is going to quote you because the entire post is incoherent drivel.
