Imagine the book Stu could write about running 30 years of poker runs!
Some think it is a dream job but its a ton of behind the scenes work. I think the fun was long gone after about 2005, no vests/chicks on sunpads running 75 mph, boats running side by side at speed then a faster boat splits between them. Back in those years he did a Daytona event, cops were running radar off bridges, guys were running WFO outside channel markers in the ICW. Local boater (Skater guy) was a strip club operator so he had some "flexibility" with local cops but it was a complete sh!tshow. Daytona was quickly removed from the roster the following year.
