Parker 336 Review

[Wendi]

Well there you have it folks, the race was a complete success because a first time spectator said it was, and thats want determines what is or is not a successful event. Lets hope that ALL 26 starters feel the same way so that ALL 26 of them return next year to make it another great success.
By the way, there was NOTHING first time about any of it. Only the guys pocketing the money are different.

Negative Nelly. You will never have anything good to say about this race, so best keep the rest of your opinions to yourself. None of us want to here it anymore, you've burned us out.

You saw that as a negative post. What was negative verses FACT! Is it the negative FACTS that bother everybody?
26 boats equals success verses 35 worst prior year equals failure so lets take the race over from those that are failing?
What was the entry number for the very FIRST 300? I think it was more than 26 starters.

If the spectator count doubles next year, but the boat count is half, is it twice the success

All I'm saying is we have heard enough about how you feel about the race and the promoter of the race. Let's move on to the next race.

The only way to shut this blowhard up is to take his soapbox away. until then he's going to be the spoiled child screaming at the top of his lungs because he didn't get his way.

NOT TRUE. There could have been 50 starters and 25,000 paid out, and PROVED what I said about this fiasco wrong.
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.

Let's all get back on track to the original meesage from KAP... His review of the Enduro 336. Roger just curious what was it about the longer course that they liked? It seemed to me the boats were alot more spread out, which I would have enjoyed seeing them running closer together and possibly more action?? Kind of like Nascar at the California Speedway, gets kind of boring to spectators.

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".
