There is plenty of drama in all of the classes (main reason I don't have a SS boat) to race with my son. I do love the show and the drama is part of what makes everyone pay attention just like Nascar used to be. That being said, it also keeps me from wanting to be a participant. I have seen several boats touch a marker in the past and unless it was damaged or run over, there were not penalties issued.

This deal with mti and DW is going to become a more increasingly ford vs. chevy type scenario. I was watching the race yesterday at the lake with a bunch of the mti celebration attendees and the comments were pretty flagrant. The DW boats have very little time on them, one was a first time (in the boat crew), and both were in front of the main pack. All I heard was they are cheating again, can't compete with cheaters, etc., etc.--I hope for the sake of the class that people loose the attitude or that everyone gets ECUs issued at each race like the stock class used to.
