Fantastick Photos. I have never seen anything like it. Out west that kind of boating is virtually non existant....I for one feel like the lone ranger sometimes....hheh....nothing better then 105mph and that wonderful sound of a fresh 2.5...mmmm mmmmm....my favorite. Peace everyone.

Great Pictures... As Usual... Greg! Even If I've Probably Seen All Of Them Before! The River Ranch Boating Event Started With Skip Romani "Talon 2.5", Brian Chandler "Shore Pounder" Myself And A Couple More St. Cloud Guys Discussing How A Boating Event SHOULD! Be Run. It Was Unique The 1st 5-Events Because We Had Our Own Private Place To Launch And Pick-neck. Lots Of GREAT Memories... And A Couple Not So Good... Made At This Event. Thanks Greg For Covering The Event For 12!! Years, And Thanks To Tom And Gina For Keeping It Going! Mike T.

Russ no reason for a post like that!!! I know at least two incidents at YOUR events one of them included yourself, luckily both drivers are still alive today. Yes there has been unfortunate incidents that have occurred, however the choices that these individuals made should have no reflection on the event itself.
