Yes you re right, it s not running or cycling where y ou have to train thousand and thousand kilometres.. Just buy a very fast boat and you ll be able to be in the top 5 after a season of racing..
not far off, I knew Charlie, did business with him, just not for money, he didn't pay his bills. :) They kept that operation extremely hush hush, he wouldn't let his own mother in that racing shop. :)
Hey, so I was the Pilot for that race video and what a glorious time it was!
You were the pilot for what - the boat ? the Helicopter ? Name ?
Maravilha q encanta e fascina.
Did Trump know boat racing was a waste of money? I think so.
The guy driving that boat never paid his bills, just like the other guy. :)
Coming back to this: Bush didn't think so...

The first white boat has incredible aero. It is almost like someone is controlling a wing on the front to balance the boat

this sport was always who had the most money won...
only when the water was calm, and the throttleman took good care of the engines
