    Fealofagi could not see their boat drifting toward paepae. Ouke le o faikio, e le ose mea faigofie. However, it was probably heading toward one of the best race ever with the three up front. Regardless of the disqualification, those three boats was very exciting to watch digging in. 💪 We had the V8 Chevy dual exshaust vs the Dodge wide Body Charger and the Duramax 400 HP Dodge RST 😂

If yall take a closer look at other fautasi they were all heading for the finish line which was now in Aua rather than Gata'ivai that was mentioned before the race started (original kigi). Like @taluaigaluega905 said they did it to themselves turning right in front of Aua crew not once but twice, stating the obvious to the trolls (all yall) Skipper Fealofani did not get the memo they changed the kigi. Why do you think Aua is still not banned 🤔cos they did nothing wrong & they are and will always be Public's enemy! not taking sides here just stating facts! Ask don't assume ma le kele ole windy ae le'i kago se foe. The jetski is a different story o sa'o e fesili iai it had nothing to do with the Skipper & his crew. Yes, we all saw it was not helping the situation, sad but Thank God no one was harm! to each their own ma lakou magaku - you are entitled to your own "opinion" keyword "OPINION!" a le'i alo oe or was never on one the two fautasi stfu`pls & faafetai !

    **A Sad Day for Fautasi Racing** I'm really disappointed and sad about the race that was held yesterday. As the world watched, our beautiful fautasi, a symbol of Samoan unity and brotherhood, was brought to shame by the Paepae ulu po'o's actions. As a Samoan, it pains me to see my people engaging in such destructive behavior. We're known for our Christian values and strong sense of community, but today's events have left me feeling disappointed and concerned. The use of methamphetamine (meth) has led to this chaos and destruction. It's a scourge that's affecting our families, our communities, and our way of life. If we don't address this issue, it will only get worse, and I fear that next year's Fautasi Race may be marred by gun violence. To the Fealofani fautasi team, I want to acknowledge your hard work and dedication. Your fautasi was well-prepared and showed great potential. I'm so sorry that your efforts were overshadowed by the unfortunate events that unfolded. To the Government of American Samoa, I implore you to take immediate action to address this drug problem. We need to work together as a community to support those affected and prevent further harm. Let's not let this day define us. Let's stand united and take back our values of love, respect, and unity.
