Boy, I don't think these guys are talking $h!t just for the sake of it, if you were at Harney you would know. Fun, safe day, with a lot of good racing! That "banished" thread was one of the most entertaining threads in a long time (IMO), and led to that day at Harney. I also have a hard time believing that its all about money, if you can afford to build an unlimited race boat, you don't need money, it should be about bragging rights. I say for the sake of more racing, sanctioned or not, keep slinging. All of the above is of course just my opinion.
