Some serious handicap BS and a very thick layer of manufacturer generated fluff. Everyone will walk out of this with a different view I am sure. You cannot look at a class or results and see squat. Heavy boats like the Viper are running their own handicap, playing the ratings game. Put team drivers on them like Bundy and then continue to spout off about being the best – give it a break.
With that many people at an established event like this, I am sure it was blast even if they got skunked on weather.
Mini, I'm in 100% agreement and your observations come across loud and clear even through the internet but this is nothing new for large events and it really is part of game which is one my biggest complaints with handicap events. The amount of unsubstantiated boasting that goes on is a real turn off for those that can see through it. Helen's article should really read: The help did exactly what we paid him to do but we're going to claim it was the equipment.
