By the way, there was NOTHING first time about any of it. Only the guys pocketing the money are different.

Note to GN7:

Please reread what I wrote and do not paraphrase the thesis of the review if you are unsure.

I know several teams which attended and paid money but did not start because of mechanical issues. Therefore, your participation number is a bit skewed to suit your agenda. Your agenda was noted opposition to the race director, organizer and promoter. Your attempt here is to minimize the participation in a race in order to downplay it's significance. However, try as you might in vain...winning the overall in this Parker 336 is a huge accomplishment. In addition, your comments are completely disrespectful to all of the people who did participate and as you stated before they put up the money to run...not you. Lastly, your role this year... is no better than a spectator... strike that as I do not believe you attended the event. Therefore, my comments have greater merit.

Contrary to your hopes the event was a success. To what degree... not completely 100%... but it's their first one and needs to be further refined. They will get the bugs out of the process. These events are like a work in progress just ask any race organizer but you already knew that.

Thanks Scott, I appreciate the kind words and hope to see you at the next event.

The way I see it, ANYBODY could take this race from RD and be MORE justified than RD every was. This was the definition of a complete failure.

Bob, please? Let it go.

Ok we fucking get it already! Get over it. The 336 happened and you could care less about RD! Move the fuck on or get lost with your negative bullshit!

With the longer course it have us a chance to run a better race. Although we broke early, there was less traffic and more room to run a better race. Although there were some lulls in the action. It did give plenty more areas for spectator viewing that wasn't available before. It also will give the ability to run higher boat counts safer in the future.

I definitely liked the longer course. Like has been stated before the cash payouts were nice. They don't cover the cost at all. But it was nice to be able to buy beers and be part of the action. We got $200 total. We didn't run qualifying due to our fuel issues and ended up going out of the race after 2 laps. Last year the winner overall didn't get shit. In fact they didn't even have a clear winner.

Like has been said by ALL who participated, it was a great event. And every team there was already planning for next year as well as any others that didn't race this year showing heavy interest in participating as we'll.

Th people that are bad mouthing the event are those that have a very obvious "agenda".

Thanks Bill for the feedback. I totally understand now the longer track and yes plenty more spectator viewing locations. We have some great pics of Lynch running we were cheering you guys on!!!

Never introduced myself, but I was talking to you about your helicopter at the cantina. Did you get any good video of the race?
