Do you ever get splashed by having your boat too close

? Have a great time by the way

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #2 on:** July 27, 2008, 02:35:05 »

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

The Captain · « **Reply #3 on:** July 27, 2008, 02:36:52 »

Well, you shouldent have crossed the river

. What excuse could you possibly have? Did you get arrested?

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #4 on:** July 27, 2008, 02:42:31 »

its in the gulf but i wanted to get to the casino to get my friend. but i didnt get arrested thankfully

The Captain · « **Reply #5 on:** July 27, 2008, 02:43:44 »

What did they do to you? A simple warning I presume

.

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #6 on:** July 27, 2008, 02:52:25 »

it was but its the only warning i will get with the marine police

The Captain · « **Reply #7 on:** July 27, 2008, 02:56:58 »

Well, it will be unless you try something else funny man

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #8 on:** July 27, 2008, 03:02:44 »

The Captain · « **Reply #9 on:** July 27, 2008, 03:04:28 »

Well, good luck with that

!

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #10 on:** July 27, 2008, 03:07:43 »

i just want one of the drivers to not race and then i can fill in the empty spot

The Captain · « **Reply #11 on:** July 27, 2008, 03:10:11 »

Well, you are not a professonal racer, nor do you have a licence. So, even if you said pretty please with sprinkles on top

, 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

.

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #12 on:** July 27, 2008, 03:20:10 »

im not a professonal racer but i took the course and i passed and i have a licence its just a matter if they let me

The Captain · « **Reply #13 on:** July 27, 2008, 03:22:33 »

They whouldent

. 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

?

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #14 on:** July 27, 2008, 03:29:46 »

it happends in drag racing, drag boat racing and in offshore racing

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.

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #19 on:** July 28, 2008, 02:31:06 »

not random you have to do the trials and they might or might not let you race. but you have to have a licence

The Captain · « **Reply #20 on:** July 28, 2008, 03:32:41 »

So, you get to race for the company?

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #21 on:** July 28, 2008, 03:46:25 »

The Captain · « **Reply #22 on:** July 28, 2008, 17:30:00 »

For racing on boats?

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #23 on:** July 28, 2008, 22:23:58 »

yes for offshore boats

The Captain · « **Reply #24 on:** July 28, 2008, 22:40:03 »

Ohh, I know what boats you are talking about now

. So, let me get this straight, they let you race in their boats, for their company, to win a race?
