Parker 300

He has no idea what he is talking about. There are 30+ registered as of last count.

Yeah but he could be full of pizza, peanuts, and beer, you don't actually know what he's full of.

Hammer, I absolutely understand you having to take care of your family, and commend you for that. Although, you were NEVER planning on entering this race, even before this tragic event happened in your life, please don't use your family as an excuse in this argument.

As far as johnson goes, at some point, you will see his true colors and that, "friends come and go" - johnson, when it happens you will look back and see he wasn't the great guy he portrays himself to be. Johnson only looks out for one thing, himself. You will find this out one day.

I was planning on volunteering to help in any way possible to see this race succeed, it could've been the previous regime, you or whoever.

The point I was making is that most of the racers have a personal vendetta or hatred towards anyone but Ross Wallach it seems. At least that's the way GN7 makes it sound.

As far as ME racing, I had backing to do so and could have, just because I don't post a HEY LAM thread doesn't mean I wasn't thinking about it. I've never raced a boat before and I was too intimidated of the Enduro to enter....

If racers REALLY cared about this particular Race they'd put their egos aside and volunteer to be a patrol boat or in any other aspect to help the race . Instead, since it's not a points race(supposedly), you choose to boycott and stay home instead of support the sport you love......

I just see this thread as a bash Dave Johnson thread, should've left it locked Vic......

If that's the case make it a "Sticky:".

Patrol boat? You can't tell a race horse to sit. Especially when you made a dog race that horses can't enter.

You're just as biased as everyone else here . You all (except KAP and few others) make this about one thing you all can agree on, you hate Dave want to see him fail and not just with this event. If that means the Enduro goes down with him, So be it.

I'm done here, it's a loosing argument for all sides.

I honestly would like to meet you, a lot of people don't like you , as for me I don't pass judgement until I've met someone and you've done me wrong....

Let's make it happen.

Yes, but eventually that all turns to shit right? Just had to get in before the lock down.

Agreed that's it's somewhat of a losing argument on both sides. Sure does suck being on that end of the mob mentality.

I'm real close to locking it up again. For the record, I sincerely hope this race is a success for many reasons. Primarily for the racers, they are the ones putting on the show (and risking more than just metal and fiberglass in the process) for all of us to enjoy. Without their passion for the sport, we'd be watching sailing boats or worse, jet ski races lol. Secondary to the racers is the boating industry as a whole. Right now the boating industry is super fragile. What little the economy hasn't run over is always being threatened by the regulators. So the sport really can't take much more load. The sport can't afford failure. Some of whats been said here has been said out of anger, but quite honestly, I believe its been said out of passion. These guys live, eat, and breathe racing. So when things don't fall in to place and they can't or won't race, they get pissed off. Who wouldn't?? Some of the other questions appear to be legitimate. And I honestly don't know enough about this race to answer one way or the other. I'm not going to lock down a thread where someone appears to be asking legitimate questions. I will send down a final warning however, please stop the personal attacks or I will not only lock this thread down, I will delete it. Carry on. Nicely please
