I'm sure some of you saw this is you follow boating news, but that crash was ridiculous and I just heard that the owner and throttle man was a local guy from Bristol, RI. Really sad news. I couldn't imagine going that fast in a boat...

My family and I were front row to this crash. The crash was very horrific and everyone at the race was stunned since this event has never had a major accident. It's sad to hear the news he passed away. Thoughts and prayers for the Outerlimits family.

Here's the Blow Over.. Said they were running nearly 179 when it lifted.. Unfortunately, Mike passed away yesterday, due to complications from Surgery (blood clot)...

The Shootout record setter was "The Spirit of Qatar", she broke last years 224 (I think) with a 244 mph pass..

Nasty crash. He's lucky to have made it off the lake, much less make it through surgery.
