He was also only one turn and a flex cable breaking away from winning 1st overall in gas tunnel. The gas tunnel performed like it always does, on top, holding the pins wide open and pulling on everyone at the race...unfortunately the flex cable problem steped in and snatched away 1st. He ended up 2nd overall in that class.

Not true at all Mike. If you are getting this thread cleaned then this statement needs to be cleared by an admin as well.
I had nothing to do with what was cleaned and what wasn't Ron. If you have an issue with it, please talk to the moderator. I can't do anything about what was removed. I didn't ask for it to be removed. When I woke up the next day all the rest was gone. I stand behind what I said...Most of the later posts stating you were a great driver and congrats. I still appreciate the 3-4 championship wins you had with my gas tunnel. Between you, Buddy, and James...it made a huge splash in the gas tunnel world. That boat started ML Boatworks and got my stuff on the map...It helped Dick and I develop the long lasting friendship we have had. It is both our design. Why do you let things bother you so much? I am only supporting my products and letting everyone know that it ran well. If some things had gone differently, it had every chance to win 1st. Things didn't, so it didn't. It's not a big deal honestly. The people that were there saw the ML tunnel run, they even approached Buddy to talk more about the boat as they were impressed. It spoke for itself.
I doubt me posting in this thread will hurt the Thor's sales if that is what is bothering you? There is enough room in this industry for everyone that is here already. We are all designing these boats to support the racers like YOU. Vans, ML, Vision, HTB, Aquacraft, Leecraft, etc.....we all do this because we enjoy it and want to support this hobby. Yes, there is money being made, and that is a plus...bottom line...all these designers are helping the people that don't design their own boats get out on the water....Getting upset over a post or a product is only going to run all of the designers off...then what??? We don't have to take the pounding some of us have received. We are still here because we want to be. Who will get these products in your hands? Please think about that...We are doing ALL of this for you guys!! Countless hours EVERY night of the week, and most every weekend. I don't even get to a race...not that I can't...I just try to keep up with cowling layups, orders, and spend time with my wife. I have more fun hearing my customers stories..that drives me...most don't understand that I am a designer...its what I do...racing is cool, but it doesn't drive me.
The Thor has not hurt me or my ability to offer a good product. Not trying to be rude...but I really don't owe you any explanation to any of this. I have happy customers world wide. They get a great deal on a very nice product.
With that being said, This is a fellow boaters thread, not an off topic thread. I made my post as some of my customers that either own an NX320 or gas tunnel have been posting here. It was to update them as I said I would earlier in the thread. Nothing more, nothing less.
Moderators...please do not delete this post. I stand by this post.
