    I used to live next door to Bill Muncey's parents. Bill was the winningest thunderboat driver of all time. It was magnificent to see how a piston engine unlimited could swamp a turbine engine boat. Now, all boats are turbine powered, making the races quiet and boring.

    How boring can you make boat racing? Too many rules, does not reinforce great boat handling.

    The math seems easy. It should take a determined amount of time to turn a lap at a certain speed. I'd assume you just back time that at a predetermined speed and predetermined time you leave the pits, but I guess you need to be on the course to pick your lane. I don't think I've seen so many boats jump, but I'm not a regular viewer.

    With the short season, we need the drivers and people in there ears to pay more attention! That start was just as bad as when they had everyone line up in a good line before the start of the race and if not they tried again. Hopefully this doesn’t happen at the Gold cup this weekend in Seattle. We have lost drivers and big money companies that mad this sport what was.Hate to see this happen to the sport I love! So now it’s up to the new owners and drivers to make the history for the future to have the interest! See you in Seattle this weekend! Like I said, I love the sport! 13:10 ☀️🍺🏁
