"However, Theoret also believes there were other powers at work in his
ability to survive the crash - a higher being. As a man of sincere
faith and devotion to God, Theoret believes the power of prayer also
played a huge role in his fate."


hmm, "Christian Fundies" race boats too?


It's amazing how much respect racers seem to have. Folks who live on
the edge seem to be that way. At every race, there is a riders
meeting before the day starts, every meeting ends with a prayer which
everyone in the crowd seems to respect, bowing their heads and ending
with an Amen. I know they all are not believers, but just tolerant.
At the same time, it does seem to be a very republican crowd (still
have not met a hard liberal there, most admittedly are republicans in
their big ass motorhomes) so tolerance and discretion is the rule...

What gets me sometimes is folks who won't tolerate others beliefs and
would even sue someone to keep us from having that small moment
before we go out and risk life and limb. I mean, even if you don't
believe, what if you are wrong? Would it hurt to bow your head and
say amen, sort of hedge your bet? I don't think so...

Now, if you live your life in a small bubble with everything handed
to you like someone who must going nuts on this thread, making your
living off the backs of good hard working men.... ah, but who cares,
I don't see it (pink army posts) anyway?

It damned sure is nice being WAFA free!


I hope you two are looking at your kill filter logs every few hours so
you can see what is going on?

LOL, I know you really are not, only a real idiot would bother to set
up a filter, and then review it to see who on his filter is posting.


Not, not even interested but I imagine it must be somewhat comical... I
must admit, I clicked over to google a couple of days back and saw two
posts. One said something like "two idiots" and the other refered to
"retards". Nothing new, nothing interesting. It really is much better
without them and no, I don't keep or review logs...
