Matt, if you are not already interviewing Ron about his decision to stop high speed runs and sell the shootout boat, that would be a good one for an update.

(To those reading along who don't know, he decided after yesterday's tragic Potomoc crash that he is done with high speed shootout runs.)

"Shortly after Garth Tagge and Jim Melley were killed last Saturday in a horrific wreck during a top-speed shootout in Maryland, ambitous shootout competitor Ron Szolack—who had earlier in the week announced plans to run his 36-foot Skater catamaran to 220 mph—announced he was backing off."

Good article. Good comments from Jason and Matt also. They are doing a good job educating. So many people don't understand.

Had lunch with Ron yesterday. He says he is definitely out and says he is going to reprop all of his boats so they won't go any faster then 150. That way, even if he gets the urge to push all out, he will only be able to go to a speed he feels comfortable at.
