I would, with confidence say this happen at a race in Europe.

My speculation why Bill Seebold's hair is not wet, is the boat has a hole in one of the sponsons. And he did not flip or barrel roll the boat. But then if he did flip or barrel roll and did not get his hair wet, then I want his guardian angel with me too.

The boats were on the back stretch heading towards the pit area turn buoy.
I was standing in this area, when the boats came towards us, and witnessed the tandem flip over.

Au contraire de ce que tu prétends, cela n’est pas le cas.

Mr. Herring and Mr. Van De Velden -

“Lucky “ ENGLAND in the pork pie helmet.

Daily gripe time.
Lewis Hamilton lost 50% of his following after his idiotic antics at Monza. How the hell he thinks folk like me are “ Priveliged white “ is beyond my comprehension.
He forgets that the only thing that gets you up there is ability . Fact that hes black as the ace of spades is Niether here nor there. Has no bearing on the fact hes a very good race car driver.
He bemoans the fact that he is the only black man on the F1 circuit, wonder if its ever occurred to him that the reason there are not any more, is simply because.none of them are good enough to deserve a place up there !
I followed him since his carting days , right up to this season. I hoped he would break every record there ever was .
Today i dont give a flying fart if he retires tomorrow or not. Its all about RESPECT !
He spouts with his mouth about equality, but happily grabs the millions he earns with both hands.
No doubt i will be branded RACIST, nothing could be further from the truth .
At the moment , theres nobody to touch him for ability on the F1circuit, thats all down to ability, not his skin colour.
Oxford Dons told the BLM , should they touch the statue of Cecil Rhodes , then the million pound grants FROM THE RHODES FOUNDATION would cease immediately , which meant the Rhodes college would cease to function. Leaving all students , including blacks without schooling. ITS STILL STANDING.
Long standing BBC TV program Question of Sport has just sacked the three WHITE presenters. Five will get you ten the next three presenters will be a Black woman . A black man and an ASIAN .
Sweet bugger all to do with ability and popularity. Everything to do with Political Correctness.
BLM do not want Equality. They want Control.
Thats the end of todays sermon.

Is it because Merc are selling white engines?
Suzuki are all black
OMC were black on the inside on white on the outside

You don’t think CK saw this coming and painted all Mercs black. Must have known something, before 1962 most Mercs were white.

Before S&F posted a "down for server maint" message, the site was "redirecting" to girlie games and flash software download pages. Hacked??? One thing for sure when this kind of thing happens, give this site a wide berth until its stopped from doing this! Keep your anti-virus software up to date too!

if it is sooo BEMOANING to hamilton that he is the only black driver in f1, why doesen't he sponsor one of his chosing. put his money where his mouth is.

Well, i just heard back from Billy.
I must have heard it wrong, he confirmed he blew over 8/10 times including a double blowover.
Too many barrel rolls to remember.
He also blew over Spaldings brand new Pickle at Lake X.
Double roll over at Parker and Galveston.
Guess he drove closer to the limit and then some!
