              Joel, the boat stopped 10 feet or so on its lid from the dock. This vid will help me change a lot of things in our shootout. Safety, location, etc. I have taken over the mini shootout and I am going to try and make it a first rate event. ,

                That is great. I don't want to miss the next one. Please keep us updated and if there is anything I do to help let me know.

                        Too all that watch this video there was safety concerns from the racers. Previous race oraganizers and the powers to be really did not show much concern. That has all changed I run that show now! And I'm looking back at the mistakes as what not to do and how to make things better for all. Safety is paramount! We are a part of the greatest largest single boat race event in the world! Yes world. The fastest boats on the planet are here this week, miss qatar is here! Our event kicks off shootout week and Lake of the Ozarks is the place to be. 2015 there will be changes I promise you that.

                          It did look like close quarters for pulling the trigger on 80+mph.

                          I am sure you will get it sorted (not that I can attend to enjoy).
