Are they making everyone put rainbow stickers on the boat to match the helmets too? :stupid  :rotflmao  :rotflmao

Not sure how many of you guy's have been there for the fights that have occurred on Sundays in the cove, but if that crap doesn't stop there'll be a whole lot more RESTRICTIVE reg's coming down. Thanks for the info though. I just looked at an old pass and it does in fact have the info re: high speed zone mph, but nothing about the life jackets/helmets.

It's only common sense that when going those upper speeds that EVERYONE on board should have the BEST in safety equipment available....and be wearing it!  I always wear a lifejacket when in a boat.  No matter if I'm just cruising or racing.  Better to be safe than sorry.

This was posted by Elsinore Cop


In order to preserve the high speed zone, I wrote those ordinances over a year ago at the request of city staff. Looks like the City Council finally passed them. The goal is to keep safety above everything else. However, we didn't want to lose the high speed boat crowd. Many manufacturers come to Lake Elsinore to do testing and demo for customers.

The HTM crash had a ripple effect and caused concern. This is still the only lake in So Cal with a high speed zone. Amatuer boaters and PWCs are all over that lake and cut through the high speed zone on summer weekends. Its just too crowded on those days on that little lake for 100 mph runs. If you've never been out there on a weekday, you won't believe the difference.

The ordinances are based on standard safety guidelines: visible helmet, hi-speed life jacket, kill switch. These aren't too unreasonable for 80 mph plus.

The ordinance regarding mooring to buoys and other markers is already state and federal law, as Boat Cop pointed out. However, the citation by city ordinance is a simpler process.

I was pushing to move the 35 mph limit on the lake to 40 or 45 mph, but that didn't go through. I'll check on it to see if it is still possible.

Since transferring out of the station, I'm not in the loop on day-to-day activities, but come back to help out on an occasional weekend day. I'll be out there on the police boat this afternoon. BTW, Perris Lake is 35 mph, no alcohol, no high speed zone...so Elsinore's new ordinances are still less restrictive and more speed boat friendly.

Why not just get a nice grip of people together, head in that cove, and start whipping some asses on these fags? I know that this solution wouldnt help anything, but I hate these p*ssy ass people that gang up on people. A taste of their own medicine I say. -Dick "Politically Incorrect" Danger Out

:good Great idea DD but then we're not any better than them. The difference between us and them is a sense of responsibility AND having a great time. We truely appreciate that people can get along and have a good time without being totally stupid and full of testosterone. But, if you're ever down this way maybe we could roll through there and lay it down anyway.....  :beer

Again, I know that my solution to the problem isnt a good one, however, it just pisses me off that these f**kheads think that they own the cove, and harrass people out there trying to have a good time. I will be in SoCal from June 30th to July 5th, and will be MORE than happy to take a trip out there, and see if these guys start shit with me. I am tired of these gangsta wanna-bes messing with other peoples families. You wanna be badass, go to compton or watts and start your shit there. F**kers... :guns -DD Out

Yeah, but don't put it past one of those gangsta wannabees to pull out a gun and start popping caps in people.  :guns
