Lake Cumberland poker run, 2007. Running at night. Happened hours apart, not related other than location. That's one of the few spots on the main lake where you cant just go by the treeline as the edge of the lake. It is all under water at normal level.
Yes, I believe Shane was driving. I'll see him out on the trails this season. The owner/throttleman, Nicky Cutro is still my mechanic. All three of our boats are at his shops right now in Lake George. I went to see the boat right after it came back from Key West after stuffing. It was a definitely a sad day because we knew it would never run competitively again.
In the Pacific NorthWest there is a universal term used amongst all commercial boat operators, even some of the traffic controllers. "WAFI" Wind Assisted @#$king Idiot
Nope there weren't any lanyards...it was a week before the Shootout in 07... There were four people in the boat who were ejected when it hit a big cruiser wake.... boat travelled about a half a mile at around 70mph until it hit the shore and went through the docks...other than the former occupants no one on shore were injured...
