I predict a 36 Skater to be first to the bridge in NYC this weekend

Also he had is young son onboard as well. From what I saw on the video if the MTI wanted to run with the Skater it did and if it wanted to be first to the bridge im sure JT could have made that happen. They were just out there for a cruise. Also the top speed of the Skater that I was was like 155 or so in the video. The 168 was on the left of the GPS for fastest recorded speed. No doubt the Skater is fast but if the MTI wanted to run I believe it would have been in front. Congrats to Joey and Dr. Bill on running great!
Hey, I thought no back-seat passengers if running over 110-115 mph?

Mike (owner/driver of the MTI) probably wasn't all to worried about "getting the business" from anybody, he has very little seat time in that boat (or any cat at those speeds), so I think you will see that boat just out for fun and not worry about who was the fastest (hence why the engines are turned down).
Also, those guys loaded up on the trailer and didn't show up for the party... They were given awards and weren't there to collect. Not sure why they ducked out.

Also, I definitely saw 161 in the video.
But anyway, I digress....it's a poker run and not a race!

Watch the video when it's released and you'll have your answers. Kinda shocked they ran 155 with the family on board, not such a good idea IMHO. They were in front almost 1/2 - 3/4 the way to the bridge.

Doc said the same thing when I was talking to him and Vinny after the run. Were you on the Skater with Vinny?
