i get splashed by the rooster tail on them but the police keep you far enough away.  Last year i almost got arrested i was sneaking into the track and i went 50 mph to go to the other side and 2 police choppers flew on both sides of my boat and told me to cut the engine off

Well, you are not a professonal racer, nor do you have a licence. So, even if you said pretty please with sprinkles on top ;D, I am afraid that they will still say no. You can try the pretty please plead if you want, or, you can kick it up a notch and say pretty PRETTY please ;D.

They whouldent ;D. Even if you do have a licence, that is just a licnece to speed race. Furthermore, you are not contracted with the company. How often do you see famous companies let random people drive expensive speed boats ;D?

  They let people drive for the company as long as they have a licence to race.  I have seen it happen in drag racing, drag boat racing and in offshore boat racing

Random people? I don't think so. It must have just been for fun, not an actual race then.

Title: Re: offshore boat racing
Post by: The Captain on July 28, 2008, 22:40:03
Ohh, I know what boats you are talking about now ;D. So, let me get this straight, they let you race in their boats, for their company, to win a race?
Title: Re: offshore boat racing
Post by: Capt. Le Velle on July 29, 2008, 03:50:39
for one race only and if you have the lisence, if you do the trials at a race course and if they let you and if you crash you can guess what happens ......... you break it you buy it . In some boats that in the unlimited class have jet turbine or monster piston engines that are 850 cubic inches
