Desert Storm boat flip

[Buoy]

I'm getting early reports that a gray 31 DCB went over.
No details yet.
Both occupants reportedly ok.

[Buoy]

The update I'm getting is it was a DCB M35 out of TX.
Rumor to be this one.

Don't you just love the way everyone just keeps blowing on by instead of stopping to render assistance???

[poncho]

Not good. Hope nobody was injured.

Things are a little different out here...

[poncho]

Good point about people just sitting by watching instead of helping. little more info: DCB M35 Flips at Desert Storm Poker Run, Crew OK (http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-news/1264-dcb-m35-flips-at-desert-storm-poker-run-crew-ok.html)

The poker run.

Poker Run.

I believe a Shootout is scheduled for tomorrow.

Looks like the boat was one of Tim's from OCM. Glad they are all okay considering what could have happened.

[fund razor]

Need more helicopters.

[old377guy]

Wow, that was dramatic

[Ratickle]

Have you talked with Tim? He was alongside when it happened and was one of the first to turn around I believe.

[Ratickle]

I can't tell why, but driving directly through a roost at that kind of speed is a good way to have more than what happened be the outcome. Lucky people......

I'll give him a shout

[Ratickle]

Looks like the boat crossed through the roostertail about 60 to 80 feet behind the boat in front. Not a good thing to do.

I'm really curious if there was a reason he had to do that? Too much other traffic or an anchored boat in the way?

[phragle]

Heard they were rolling cigarettes too......

[Serious News]

Boat was on the cover of PBM in 2009...

No one seriously hurt in that one either from what I've heard.

That's the tally I've heard also.
The Cig that rolled...(T/S Gun)
Supposedly, Dad (owner) let his son take it out for a morning run, and the kid lost his hat and made a hard left to go retrieve it.
T/S + hard turn = BATH.
Fortunately not hurt.

[Ratickle]

The little girl falling off of the front of the rented pontoon really gets to me. Stuff like that should not happen.

Flipping a 150 mph cat, a 16 year old rolling a stepped Cig, or falling off the side of a fast moving Fountain are things that many of us have come close to doing in some shape or form. Usually dumb decisions or reactions......

I think it was November of 2011 when they rolled that Orange 35DCB on Havasu making too sharp of a turn. One lake, 2 1/2 years, two upside down 35 DCB's. I'm not sure there has been that many race DCB's over in that same time frame.....

What's the media response so far.....doom and gloom ?

I've heard very little in main stream local media, if anything at all.

Wow, couldn't see any reason for the move he made at the end of the second vid. That Cat has lost at least one of its lives......
