This event was interesting to say the least! We had the storms, then the blackouts! The not knowing if the retrieve boat was even going to be found, let alone recovered! Then the debris field to deal with the rest of the weekend. It just proves, there's no perfect weekend when doing these spring SAW trials!.... However, despite the weather conditions and all the obstacles that were overcome, It's the people involved with making everything work out, that I really enjoyed this past weekend. I went to the E-city record trials gunning for a record, but came away with something much more valuable to me... A memory that will last a lifetime!.... I want to thank Ron Shaw for stepping up and hosting the event. You did an excellent job! Dick Loeb for co-hosting, and running the pickup boat. My boy Scott Liddycoat for getting wet and tossing my boat in for me all weekend (I owe you a beer!). Don Ferrette for helping me navigate through the debris field once I got the boat sorted. Jim Skelton, John Finch, Bob Austin, Martin Truex, Ben Gugler, Blaise and Kentley Porter for ALL pitching in, and helping make this event what it was. We have a wonderful IMPBA family here in D12 and I can't wait for the next time we get together to see what strange/unusual, and Interesting things will happen!!! Hope to see everyone again real soon at the next D12 event!
Cheers,
Trent G.
