hope no other boats get in their way.
rookie drivers scare me.

Especially when they will be running a boat that is very much faster than every other boat on the water.

At least they won't be racing anybody, so hopefully they are admonished to stay out way wide, and if they do not, somebody actually does something about it. (They never have).

agreed

Now Brit's driving instead of Travis.

Should be plenty safe cause it will just be an exhibition instead of trying to get in real race practice.

And Brit knows what it's like to be in a small boat, (his SVL), and have Geico pass on the inside in a corner and almost take him out. I watched it happen in Port Huron, have the pics somewhere. CatCanDo was in the lead on the next to last lap, stayed outside like the rules call for, Geico went inside all of the others in the corner, (came closest to TugIt), and took the lead. Should have been disqualified, but of course not.......

Travis Pastrana? Don Johnson wasn't available?
