A few factors..yes it'a all about the start..but also who can run the straightest line, gear ratio, interuption of other wakes, and who is the better driver...personally I think both guys should shake hands, have a drink together and put the ego's aside..both great boats, both good guys that have offered alot to the sport, but it's not worth having a tragedy trying to one up the other on this next run.

06-09-2009 09:41 AMBeen there myself.
Total lawsuit against me totalled 7.2 million and took 6 years to settle.
Doesn't matter if controlled conditions with rescue etc. That only makes it safer.
The individual insurance policies on these boats are worded to not pay out when racing. But then the lawyers show up.
If something breaks and there is a problem the wife and family of person # 2 in each boat will be all over this.
Great idea for the charity and I respect you all in that aspect but take the word of the old guy here thats lived through it. Not worth it.
Who gives a s-it which boat is faster once?
Just my .02
With respect to all involved

This is awesome!! This is the best thread in a LONG time- racer orgs may want to take note...
A lil' ribbing along with a little runnin' makes it exciting for the fans- I bet an event like this has more interest than any boat race in the last X amount of years.
Be safe and lay the throttles on the dash gents- good luck to boat and thanks for sharing with us mere mortals.

06-09-2009 10:43 AMYeah can ya believe it??
Same guy went sideways for a quarter of a mile when an engine took a dump on a cat and the same guy watched his friends arm get picked up out of the water and get sewn back on after it went threw the side of my boat.
Same guy that has no use of his right arm and a back broken in 3 places, walkin around in pain since 03.
Just want all my buds to have fun to a limit.
When the lawyers were lookin around for my money, one day they asked about my businesses ...and all of a sudden 150 people that don't boat were about to get it in the hoop and they didnt even get a chance to go fast or catch some sunshine.
We all know these guys mean well and are great guys. But I also know they are already haven a riot.
Only contest I won was who had the most expensive bloodsucker.
BTW there is no room for 5 on the back of that boat.
ENJOY and BE SAFE

06-09-2009 11:09 AMYeah when I was in a hospital bed for a few months and the black broad was shoven a suppository up my ass every day one of my pals called me LUCKY.
The funniest part was when the police boat was carrying me to the marina to an ambulance , when the EMS guy bent over me I whispered " dont let anybody see my peepee"
They got me on land with a couple of hundred people standing around and the PR-CK took his knife and cut all my clothes off.
The last thing I heard as I was being loaded into the ambulance was all the girls laughing.
LUCKY
