Shootout tomorrow?

[DWC]

Anyone going out for the ShootOut tomorrow? We’re planning on hitting the water at 9:00ish. Dropping the anchors somewhere near the finish line.

 

[sintax]

Depending on the weather, I was gonna take the RZR out to the point.

 

[Havasu blue label]

It’s going to be great weather for the shootout

 

[DWC]

Pretty dead out here so far. Everyone must be cleaning up from last night’s storm.

 

[Justsomeguy]

Is there going to be a feed online or anything to watch for those of us that couldn't stay for both events?

Darn kids and school.

Nope. DS for some reason can’t even do radio calls for speeds on each run.

Bummer. Guess I'll have to count on rdp and Instagram to fill me in. Have fun and be safe everyone.

 

[counterpart7]

Sounds like SCFW needs a shootout next year to continue the takeover….

Nice E-Ticket

Appears to be less discussion this year on RDP about DS in general. I have not seen even one mention of Predator. Will he be attending the Shoot Out? Is he even here? I’ve some great memories of Predator, back in the day, in the ‘not a race’ Poker Runs.

Largest boating social site and almost no coverage of DS, except that provided by members. Hell, even the SCFW coverage was limited.

If I want updates quick Ray @ Speedboat does an awesome job and the videos are posted within hours.

 

[Jonas Grumby]

Captain Jack just ran, looked fast, but who knows

I have spent the last two days in bed, and to tell ya the truth as soon as I’m done with these kids errands I’m going back to bed. I have never been so exhausted in my life.

Doing SCFW and then doing the street party killed me.

I’m gonna write the article for scfw tomorrow or early next week. There’s a lot of things people don’t know about the event even still.

 

[attitude]

Well the radar is 20+ mph off lol

I have never accepted that.. why in offshore racing can we have two, and in shoot outs it’s sometimes two.. but god forbid a girl gets behind the wheel then it’s obviously the dude that gets the credit.. it’s kinda bs.

When the body barks at you, its best to listen.

On Sunday I was strongly considering going to the hospital. I told Stacy we can’t do this again next year.. we need to hire a shit ton of staff because both of us are dead to the world right now.. like even getting up to get a glass of water sounds like a ridiculously large task.

Understand. Delegation using knowledge and experience is good stuff.

 

[RiverDave]

That’s kind of the problem we don’t have knowledge and experience we are learning as we go, so we have to be everywhere all the time..

This year I took a lot of notes and am hoping to delegate a lot of things off for next year to friends that I know can solve problems and make decisions on the fly.

At the auction I made mention for a lot of you it’s your first supercat, don’t feel bad it’s only my second. lol. I meant that.

Sounds like something I would be down with and could handle

 

[CLdrinker]

I saw the 37 dcb was clocked at 140mph. Seems kinda high for a shootout.

 

[attitude]

I saw the 37 dcb was clocked at 140mph. Seems kinda high for a shootout.

There is a couple older vees maybe running 80 that are clocking over 100. The Warlock clocked 117 while it was all over the place out of the throttle.

500's won't get it there?

 

[RiverDave]

500's won't get it there?

lol fuck no. 130’s and that’s with miles to stretch their legs. Zero chance running 140 in 3/4 of a mile.

I would agree it is a boating site not a competition of another event

I’m not trying to make it that way.. you realize I am Still a large sponsor of desert storm, and even though we are tired as shit we still showed up and did our best.

If anything quite the opposite. I have been supporting DS, even though I have been run through a wringer of shit the whole time because of politics (2 years in a row now)

Hey Dave. He ran 199 by himself. She ran 187 behind the wheel. Her husband may have been on the throttles, but shouldn't matter if he was or wasn't. Badass boat and congratulations to both of them.

Did Predator come out?

 

[farmo83]

How much does the livestream like LOTO does cost ? I would think there is enough money behind desert storm yo make it happen.

 

[DWC]

Nice E-Ticket

Thank you very much.

 

[Tom Slick]

Are they still running 3/4 mile with a 1/4 run up?

 

[RiverDave]

Are they still running 3/4 mile with a 1/4 run up?

Should be 3/4 mile with 35 mph entry speed.

 

[RiverDave]

That production LOTO puts on is 100’s of thousands of dollars to make happen.. (my guess) it is crazy impressive

[riverroyal]

Not one picture all day? Wtf

 

[FlyByWire]

Well the radar is 20+ mph off lol

Jesus I’ll donate my services. That’s just unacceptable.

 

[DWC]

Decent day at the shootout. I’d agree the radar gun seemed off. Don’t know about 20mph. I’d guess at least 10%. Seems like it’d be easy to put @FlyByWire at the finish line unless his radar isn’t accurate either.

 

[FlyByWire]

I’m easily bribed with loose women and booze.

Edit: **FOR BOATING EVENTS**. Sheesh.

I am not saying you do it.
But I think hiring out a staff to cover west coast boating events. Get them to post short video, pics etc would draw folks to your site.

 

[stephenkatsea]

Still not one mention of Predator. Was he there, did he run? Didn’t he hold the DS Shootout historic top speed at about 200+?

Just hand your login to the young girls that were selling merchandise at ds and tell them to post cool videos of what’s going on in real time. You would draw tons of people on IG.

That's the daughter driving, the wife ran the 40 footer this year , unfortunately it was a late minute decision and the boats loaded with full fuel tanks that weigh a ton

No had drive problems from last weekends festivities .

[River Dirt 2]

Did anyone see the twin engine sea plane make an exit with the sheriffs boats in hot pursuit?

 

[River Dirt 2]

 

[LuauLounge]

If I was the sheriff I’d leave that plane alone.
Size matters

 

[ELCHINGONROGERS]

The guy with warlock he actually does run fast that i know of. He comes by my work quite a bit with diff set ups that he trys to get it faster so that mph is probably close.

Barney Ross, Lee Christmas and Gunner Jensen had somewhere to go
