Damn... That was a pretty close call. It is a good thing the TG went left instead of right. Had it hit the boat the video was taken from there would have been much more serious injuries.

Now that I see the video again... Looks like the TG came across right in front of Branson then the Concept creamed the TG..

He was turning back... he had to circle around the bigger boat.

Little off subject but I hate when people scream in the back seat for no reason. Very distracting!

Once again a Poker Run referred to as a "RACE"
Will people ever get it ???
A POKER RUN is not a RACE.

Even the writer for the Daily News referenced our run as a Race.
I just don't know where that comes from......
