"Loud, Fast and Politically Incorrect" WSJ today!!
Yep, seems the WSJ has sided with the sailors. Lots of incorrect facts in the article. On powerboat racing..."The sport made its way to the U.S. in 1973", Ha Ha!, some good photos though.
Generally a negative tone to it, too bad.
If you are a subscriber, it is on the front page of the weekend edition. If not, go grab a copy of the newspaper.

All and all, I thought the article was fairly balanced and mostly accurate. This comment was funny!
" We sit on our dock, enjoy the view of the water and the roar of Nascar. I just complain into my cocktail."

I love the "create giant wakes" comment, as well as the "conservationists are convinced that cigarette boats are fueling the increase. (of manatee deaths)" Whew, glad that deep draft luxo barges and all other performance boats are not responsible!
