It's official, http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...-shootout.html.

That's the "bad"news. The good news is he'll be around the docks and accessible—Scott is a great ambassador for not just the Shootout but high-performance boating.

Dave will be missed this year as a competitor, I am glad he will still be there! Cant wait too see him in the future.

My hope is that people who have only seen him as a blur will get the chance to talk to him. He's fun to talk to and has a good perspective on things in the go-fast boat world.

Dave has always been a "Class Act" it will be good seeing him relaxing this year.

We ALL know that he deserves it!!!!!

Agreed Dave and his entire crew deserve some time off to enjoy the shootout.

Dave is still very much missed as a fierce competitor in Offshore Powerboat Racing (Bud Select and Bud Light) and I always had hoped to see him racing again but it doesn't look that way. It appears that Dave Scott is retiring and he is definitely one of the top racers and ambassadors of the sport. Wish him nothing but the best in his retirement. Dave Scot has left us all with a lot of great memories over the years and I really appreciated him being part of the sport.

Don't count me out yet - LMAO! Boat, motors, etc. haven't gone anywhere

You truly have always been a class act and brought a significant midwest appeal to offshore boating!!!!! Your records speak for themselves but your generosity and professionalism have made it a joy to be around. Hope to see you back in the cockpit for some fun runs soon!!!

Thank you - See ya @ the ShootOut

Good news
