Looks interesting, I'll watch it later. Last thing I saw on Aronow was an episode of City Confidential on A&E.

Finally had a chance to watch it...I never thought that Ben Kramer did it either.

I've always believed that the cartels were responsible.
Something about selling boats to the Feds and the Cartels wouldn't sit well with one of them...

Only problem with that old theory is that the boats he sold to feds (the Blue Thunder Cats) couldn't catch a cold must less a truly fast boat.

So your opinion is it was the Feds???????:sifone:

Very true, but anytime you're playing both sides of the fence...
Ever cheat on a girlfriend?
She may be the hottest thing around, and the girl you cheated with was maybe 5 out of 10.
You're still a dead man...

Anyone here actually know Ben? Not just talk to him at a boatrace, but really "know" him enough to consider him your friend?

Not me.
Do you know him? Any insight?

It may have been a rhetorical question.
Like a statement, but different.
John Coffey, like the drink, but spelled different.

I knew Ben and had numerous meetings with him.... I will not offer anything else on this topic...as nothing can be gained other than troll feeding and speculation.

Can't say that I blame you. But, will you be including more information about your relationship with Ben Kramer, when your new book comes out?

No answer. No insight.
Just more questions.
Smells like a trolling.

Man, that would be really cool if Rich did write a book. The historical insight of some of those he raced with and announced about would be really interesting. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I'm down for two copies.
One to read, and one to add to my little library.

Not to mention his writing style and quality, which I have always enjoyed.
I'd buy one too.

Gee, I don't know.
How does this grab you...?
The Book will be coffee table sized with beautiful leather binding. The cover will be hand etched and inlaid with a picture of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling cut in half by a race boat blazing through it, leaving a trail of coke.... The title will be emblazoned in real gold leaf-- "The Greatest Story Never Told"
and all the pages will be blank.
I figure I can get $500/copy from the guys in the UAE, plus background cash from the many people who don't want to be mentioned.

So every blank page would have a sponsor??????:sifone:
I have a book called "The Deep" by Margaret Keenan that is big enough to be a coffee table. It's 24" by 17" and fits nowhere. You could do similar.....
