What's Your Opinion

[gn7]

There's alot going on that the camera can't pick up. You're on censory overload, you feel every little movement that boat makes.
While on the ramp at Black Lake, just waiting for our race, I check my pulse it was 120.

I use to let the comments made by what I call the Shore Warriors get to me. They still do, but not as much as they used to. I learned some time ago to never underestimate the ignorance of some boat owners. I have over heard more BS on shore at Long Beach than you can imagine. Much of it from jet owners, about jet boats. I have even turned to a couple and said "at yet, here you are standing on the beach talking about how your boat could kiss ass on them all"


You need to find your happy place when getting ready to race. One year at Burley we had 2 GN drivers in full safety gear including helmets, sitting in their boats, and had to wake them up before they could launch them. Seriously.

Yep, growing up at the river all I ever heard was JET BOATS SUCK. Well rock on GN Boats and K's but I still love letting off my jet off to let a prop catch me. Different world.

I'm usually much more calm, but there was alot going on that weekend. The driver dying that Saturday, we set the C/j record on Sat. and broke our record on Sunday.
Beat out Scott Shotz for the Dash For The Flight Trophy we're the third team to win it. We're on there club trophy(their equivalent to the mink)
I'd give the guys a hard time and tell them my boat was just a ski boat. No plates, has a subfloor w/ carpet and seat bases.

I shut down before this thread was posted last night, but I just read the whole thing and don't know most of the players, but boating is boating is boating.

I don't care what kind or where you boat there should be a certain level or respect for all kinds of boating whether it's racing or recreational, it's a dangerous sport and not meant to be taken lightly.

There's no place for disrespectful comments about anyone on how they race or boat, that's my opinion for the day.

I just love the water and getting on a boat on a nice sunny day, enough said.

And the jet boat remarks don't even bother me. I personnally like jets, there not for everybody.
For me it's his disrespect for others that bother me.

I haven't known Grads very long at all (on the boards), but I've heard a lot about him. I know from personal experience that he tends to push the envelope. Sometimes, I wonder why would he do/say that?
But, I can say from personal experience that when Grads posted something I didn't like, I asked him to remove it and he didn't hesitate. I was pleasantly surprised. My impression is he's not malicious, he's trying to be funny and sometimes his filter malfunctions

We are all very different and without all of our wacky personalities, life would be very boring.

I'm 38 and I'm the craziest kind of poop
