Having been involved at various levels over the last thirty years in car drag racing/oval racing, snowmobile drag racing/cross country/radar runs/oval racing, boat racing of various forms/poker runs etc, it always comes down to the same shit. Everybody's ego ALWAYS gets in the way, the same few people make/break/bend the rules, the rule makers bitch, the rule followers bitch, the cheaters bitch, and eventually there is so few people interested it dies off. The "official" type racers scoff at the "Sandbar/parking lot/radar track" type and vice versa, everybody's dick and/or wallet comes out to see who has the fattest, fucking testosterone at it's best. Been there/done that, thanks. Sometimes it's all in good fun amongst buddies, but mostly it just turns into a big pissing contest. This isn't the Southern U.S., there is only so many boats and guys interested to go around in the tiny niche market that is boat racing in Ontari-ari-ario. Everybody needs to cut everybody, on both sides of the fence, a little fucking slack and let common sense prevail or it will easily set what the few hard-core guys have achieved back ten+ years, and where was Outboard drag racing than??
JUS SAYIN'
POOF... Guess what, everybody want to keep racing? "Friendly Competition" is a good thing. If this is the current version than fuck me I must be getting old. Why would someone on the sidelines with the means/skill/time to get into drag racing hot rod outboard boats want to jump into the shitshow that this thread has become? Rant over but wtf.
Weather supposed to be perfect this weekend go hold the Pedel down.
