Loz Boating Crash - 170Mph - Senseless

[Wayne SW/MO]

I don't see a lot of thrill in a SkiDoo either, or sking in a nice controlled area inside the wakes, but?

I suspect that guy died of a blood clot, not unheard of in bad breaks. A lot of damage in the area and just not ebnough time to dissolve all of them.

If they could manage it they would.

They used to have power boat races at George Winter Park in Fenton. Think they moved it to Creve Cour lake.

Earlier they stated that he was in stable condition so an undiscovered clot makes sense.

I don't see any sense in stock car racing. But some people do. And some people die doing it. I'd rather go that way then sitting in my house dying of cancer.

It's called an adrenaline rush and ditto to rather go that way then...

True. I remember a friend lived in a river house just off of Winter Park. We'd disconnect his dock and tow it up to the edge of the race course and reanchor it. Made a great platform for watching the races. On rare occasions, during the week in the evenings, the Seebolds would bring down one of their race boats for testing. They weren't painted but still in their greyish, carbon fiber skin.

The only problem with that race and why they moved it was the flukey nature of the Meramec in the summer. It was either too high/flooded and they couldn't run the race or the river was low and they had to change the course layout because of it. Moving it to Creve Couer made sense.
