Maybe we should have a vote to nominate a leader for the power tour, I nominate Cas :crossx: Just playing.
The thing is if one person does point the finger there are twenty others to say other wise.

Thats all fine and dandy. Then it becomes an issue of paying an attorney to represent those that are named just to prove that they had no involvement. Spend thousands of dollars on an attorney instead of the boat!
So I've head lots of "cover your asses" and issues but how about some solutions. Like we said from the get go this event was and still is being organized by us meaning every one. What would you like to see happen.
You gona bring some of your flatty guys out Tony??? Sure would like to see em get beat I mean run :rollside:
Why dont we call it the "COVER YER ASSES TOUR '06" and agree that on the water yer on yer own :cry:
The reason I am responding to this is becasue my wife is an attorney and she was reading this thread.
Go grab your River Rats 2 Video and take a look at the Flatty hardware and tell me if you really want those guys to show up and crap all over your parade!! :p :p
The best thing to do is not label it or name it and go out and have fun. As soon as you name it, it becomes something.

I'll grab the video is it on DVD I dont own a tape player ne more. I hear you guys have some serious hardware but I have yet to see it run. This would be the time and the place. I personaly would love to see a good flatty showing as well as jets.
But if you want my opinion of your comment take a look at my quote and it sums it up prety well.
Guru and Cas have brought up good points. Dont give this deal a name. just give it an idea and a location/time. The less clearly its defined on paper(or the internet) the less likely it is for someone to have grounds to get sued. Take away the name, the bs t-shirts, websites and promotion and all you've got is a few people who came to together on a message board and went on a group vacation.
:)
now that being said...lets get it on because i aint organizing nuthin' and am ready to see some sick boats lay down long passes this summer!
Cas, most of us tottally understand what you are saying,there were phone calls about ALL of what you stated long before you brought all this on.Which is why we went the route we did.Ive talked with Roostwear and Ive heard about what other "groups" are going through at the same time.Its ridiculous we have to sweat all this stuff, we just want to go have a little fun but thats life. :mad: :cry: :) I can tell you right now, something lame like this isnt going to stop us from having fun.
The whole idea was to not have anybodys name tied into the whole deal, like 6th st.The idea was to have the group (60 people as of now) vote on what they would like to see happen (name,location,date,etc.) and run it all summer long like that.
Im not about to be labeled the organizer on a public message board and just pray nothing happens. Im not stupid and I'm well aware of what can happen and to be honest, something probably will happen, it always does. Luckily we havent had anything bad happen but after seeing how carried away everyone is getting for next season .I realize the chances are good something will happen. Unfotunatly we always have atleast one accident or crash or a sunk boat or whatever at every event. They may not always make it on the net, but there is always some type of mishap.so far everyone has taken responsibility for their actions and its all good.How nobody got hurt at the one FB event where all the evening racing took place, I dont know. I still laugh when V-drive video gives me chit for not being out there racing, that was just stupid out there.
The amount of people in our area with hotrods in their garages is unreal right now,most all of us want to get togethor and hang out at the river and maybe make a few hotlaps. We were just trying to put something togethor for all of us since FB went away and CBBB is only once a year.It was OUR poor attempt to put something togethor without having to have someone's ass on the line,so much for that idea.
Im not taking responsibility for everyone's actions at the river this summer,nor am I organizing any events at the river.Does anybody have any ideas as to how we can go about this without someone having to put their ass on the line? Obviously my idea isnt working. :mad: Post your ideas, dont call me.

well that was the whole idea....no schedule, no website, no t-shirts (busby still wants shirts) no promotions, no trophys,nobody's names, nothing, just show up, stay where you want and we'll see ya on the water in the morning.
the word "lawsuit" has been coming up on ***boat WAYYY too much lately.
