grandstanding
 

How about the muscle poker run boat blasting the shores of St. Clair this past saturday. Then diamond dave gets arrested, it wasn't all bad, he made some new friends in the shower and said he had the best back rub of his life. The charge..." GRANDSTANDING" or in translation, putting on a show for the fans. He needs to be stopped....we can't get the fans involved in this sport, we have enough problems as it is. The police were nice enough to drive him back to his camp and bought t-shirts too... this has to stop!

i was sitting in the restaurant when they did that. i have to tell you it kinda ticked me off. they did 3 big full throttle donuts in front of the restaurant than did 3 more down by the spectator area. i would not have been so pissed but this was on a hot test course and their path did take them out to where boats were testing. grandstanding? putting on a show? just exactly what were they showing off? pretty lame guys . . . . its tough enough as it is. just my two cents


not trying to get on anyones bad side but c'mon guys do we really need this kinda stuff?

Re: grandstanding
 

Made an absolute Jack ass of himself and his team! As said, this was on a hot course

Re: grandstanding
 

Diamond Dave thanks for the great time in the shower!! See you in 4 to 5 Bubba

Re: grandstanding
 

wel it might have been a bad decision to do it when he did, if he would have waited it would have been alright.
we still love ya dave !!

Re: grandstanding
 

we were out on our boat at the same time time and it was confusing. At first we thought they were testing and tried to get out of their way, then we realized that it was the poker run boat, and they were showboating. HOWEVER from a fan perspective it was WAY COOL. The crowd was large on Saturday, so why not give them a show, after all that is what they came for. I think some organized showboating after or before testing would be a HUGE crowd favorite. I also think for the big guns that bring more than one boat and have sponsors to please it would be a great idea. Maybe a rooster tail parade would be cool, lets face it that's what the fans come for.

Re: grandstanding
 

diamond dave has always tried to bring the show and show is what this sport needs. if more teams brought it we would have more following.

Dave And Co. Brought Two Boats A Long Way To Help The Program. He Can Be Outrageous At Times But Ill Bet The Fans On The Shore Loved It. Did They Actually Endanger Anyone? If They Did I Guarantee You It Wasnt Intentional. Dave And Bruce Are Good Guys And We Are Fortunate To Have Them Racing In Oss.

To add a little to this, at the drivers meeting,the Coast Guard Chief made a point of telling everybody to stay away from the seawall. As a race producer, BWORA is grateful to all of the teams that come at great expense, however, we must all cooperate with local public safety. The Coast Guard, St. Clair County Sheriff. The Ontario Provincial Police and St. Clair police all have worked with us to put on a safe event. Their requests are not unreasonable. BWORA does not like to see anybody penalized but course integrity and public safety must come first. We hope that this does not put a damper on anybody's St. Clair experience and hope to see you all here next year.

The Muscle crew was NOT at the initial drivers meeting when the CG guy spoke.......

Re: grandstanding
 

no harm steve. maybe next year it should be stated in the drivers packet

Re: grandstanding
 

I totally agree.....

Especially since there were people jumping off the railing into the water for a swim...

I came close to doing that myself! :drink:

It looked so refreshing.... :cool:

That certainly won't keep me from coming back!

By far the St Clair site is the best I have seen on the circuit!

To be able to come in and park for the day and reach everything in a short walk was just great!

And the hospitality of the people there was second to none...

Except for Pepper Joe's Cook who wouldn't take a payoff to reopen the kitchen for 1 more table.... :D :evilb:

Re: grandstanding
 

that place is a joke. we tried to have a party there last year for sailor jerry rum, boat on display,by the way with the name peppers on the side, anyway the tool that owns it didnt see how it could help his business. WHAT? OH WELL our money spends well every where else too

Re: grandstanding
 

Yeah!
We got even with him by going to eat at his competitors across the street ! :drink: :D :D :D :evilb:

Re: grandstanding
