Default Swimming on a live race course

If you didn't see the live stream video of the clearwater race the last race was shut down early due to someone was found swimming on the course. WTF is wrong with people. What a shame for those teams that spent all that money and time to have there race cut short by someone that I would bet was wasted. I hope he is in serious trouble !!!!

was pretty sad someone would do that, hope he is fined heavy but sure he will just spend a day or two in the drunk tank.

Drunk and naked . What an idiot. Could have cause a major disaster on the course . Seeing an obstacle in the water at 175 mph and trying to correct quickly is not good.

at those speeds, looking through the small tinted windshield I'm not sure the guy would have been seen! You could have just run the tunnel over him and he would be fine as long as he ducked the tie bar!

what a complete idiot all the way around and then naked on top of. Real piece of work there. What did this drunk do jump off a spectator boat to get in the middle of the race course ? They should of beat the chit out of him while grabbing him out of the water.

Think about this to -- less say he did not dive in the water during the races - this idiot prob was going to drive home after the races - so some how this guy was going to make the news.

Pete was on top of it. The swimmer isn't too smart.
