Are these guys serious? Some of these boats are capable of 100+ Mph. With half of Boone National Forrest floating in Cumberland, ya think they are still gonna do it? Man, I wish I sold boat insurance for this one. Note: local boat shops, stock up on stainless steel props, lower units, and band-aids.

Course, when the boat spends more time in the air than the water, I guess the odds of a "bump" are reduced......NOT.

If they run, I sincerely hope all make it through the course with no more than hull scratches. Maybe they ought to run the race in row boats, with 2 man crews, and required safety equipment including a chain saw.

If you go to the lakecmberland.com home page there is a pic of the lake from halcombs landing and the Dam area. I can not see any drift on the lake in this area yet.
I have heard that the temp. no-wake buoys are in place and they have crews cleaning any drift that they find in this area.

I may be wrong, but I think some of these boats ran in the 200 mph range on the OH river during Derby week.

Oh...I thought there were going to like poker run all over the lake and stuff.
