So much for razor's assertion of never crashing.

    Two hospitalized after Delta boat accident
    By Lisa Vorderbrueggen
    CONTRA COSTA TIMES

    A man was airlifted to the hospital and several others were plucked from the Delta near Pittsburg on Saturday morning after a 30-foot racing boat flipped and triggered a freak pile-up.

    The boat, referred to as a "skater" racing craft with its distinctive catamaran-style hull, was traveling about 100 miles per hour when its steering arm apparently broke, said Pittsburg marina spokesman Gene Lacey.

    The accident occurred at a gathering of 130 boats at the confluence of Middle and New York sloughs across from the Dow Chemical plant in Pittsburg.

    The boaters had just started a day-long poker run, a water version of five-card stud, Lacey said. Boaters travel to a pre-determined list of marinas and restaurants and pick up playing cards along the way. The boat with the best hand wins.

    But for folks in five of these expensive watercraft, often called "cigar boats," there would be no winning hand. Instead, two boaters ended up in the hospital, one boat sank and the other boats would suffer thousands of dollars in damage.

    Saturday's run began with a shot-gun-style start and the boats roared simultaneously down the slough, Lacey said.

    When the steering column snapped and the ill-fated craft flipped several minutes into the event, the speeding boats near it were forced to swerve "and four boats couldn't stop in time," Lacey said.

    Two occupants of the first boat went into the water but were uninjured, Lacey said.

    Their boat, however, worth roughly $300,000, "was sunk," Lacey said.

    As of Saturday afternoon, the boat tilted in the slough nose up with its motor underwater, where it awaited a vessel tow, he said.

    A man in one of the boats that collided in the aftermath also ended up in the water and was airlifted to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, confirmed Sheriff's Department spokesman Jimmy Lee.

    Another person was taken to Sutter Delta Medical Center in Antioch.

    Their names were not immediately available although Lee said both victims were alert and conscious at the time of the transport.

    None of the other boaters were injured and vessels not involved in the accident continued with the poker run, Lacey said.

    The other boats involved in the collision suffered varying degrees of damage. Lacey said one boat limped into the marina and was beached on the launch ramp. City staff kept it afloat with a pump until it was placed on a trailer.

    Given the large number of boats traveling at high speeds in close proximity, the accident could have been far worse, Lacey added.

    "This type of thing doesn't happen very often," he said, "but these poker runs are becoming more and more popular, so they will probably have to shift to a staggered start system."

    The Coast Guard and the marine patrol unit of the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department responded to the incident.

    Wow, so impressive that you can bring this back up from 11 years ago! I never said I didn't have an accident, I stated I have NEVER run into another boat, as you falsely posted. So thanks for posting this for all to see, as it clearly states nowhere that I hit another boat. It also clearly states that the accident was caused by a steering failure - which in actuality was the starboard drive coming completely off the transom. I have never denied my accident, and have posted pictures of my boat upside-down numerous times. My accident was strewn all over the internet 11 years ago, you're a little late to the party...........

    Dan and I were the first ones to run his boat together "its not that fast and really doesn't accelerate all that well" -go ahead and race him LOL...

    I think that he wanted to use Dan's boat to be fair and give him a 200 h.p. advantage on the same length boat. Either one of Dales personal boats and he would be in a different zip code...

    Until then might I suggest brushing up on the Urban Dictionary ...


    As they say ... Lock dat in !

    One important aspect that appears to have been glanced over is the penalty imposed if one of the said contestants is unable to attend the proposed speed trial once a date , time and wager has been established and agreed apon by both parties as well as funds in US currency have been placed in a mutual financial institution .
    The standard penalty of 10% will be imposed . Which in this instance will be a forfeiture of $1000.00 from the principle.


    Or as they say ... 1 stack - punk out ...

    Now dear sir ... please pass a rib sammich and the Grey Pou-pon ...

    Speaking of translation ....

    The other time I flipped and the dock I crashed into trying to show off , were also my fault , I just have a real hard time being honest and saying so .

    How did I do ?

    You are more than welcome to bust my chops all you want. Dale has made plenty of mistakes. I've made plenty of mistakes. I've ridden with Dale in his 30 at 144+ mph. I've ridden with Dale in his 28 @ 114+ mph with 4 people. He was incredibly safe EVERY time my wife and I were out with him and Lisa.
    Bust him up all you want, he is incredibly knowledgeable.

    Both your parts and mine are coming along nicely ...
    As well as others that have been very patient ..

    When I won the 2011 Citrus Nationals , I hung up my helmet .
    No regret's and nothing else to prove .
    Now if you pass me out on the river , I might wave or I might lay on the horn button till it melts ....
