Thanks Don, hopefully Zuber will post the complete race results later. Joe Warren won the Twin Hydro traveling trophy. By the way the F Mono trophy is not 5 ft, it is actually 6 ft cause I am 5'-11" and the thing has at least an inch over my head.

Thanks Joe and congratulations to you too. Joe was the winner of the Twin Hydro travel trophy, I think Kris was second. It was a very nice race organized by the Music City Buoy Dodgers and the Huntsville Model Power Boat Association. The following Twin Hydros raced for the trophy, including Ernie Lefleur (Eagle hull), Harry Gerhart (Roadrunner hull), Charles Simmons (Roadrunner hull), Kris Karshneider (Roadrunner hull), Mark Bullard (Bullard hull), Doc Turner (Bullard hull), Joe Warren (Roadrunner hull) and myself (Roadrunner hull).

By the way "Big Chuck" has arrived to stay, he lives in Atlanta and his name is Charles Simmons, he has a "Rockect Ship" with a couple of Orlic Picco 80s. Charles congratulations you are finally "Rock and Rolling". I think next year it will be bigger. If you win Twin Hydros in Huntsville you got bragging rights to claim you are "BAADDDD".

Good job Joe. Bet that trophy looks nice sittin' in your house.

 

[Joe Warren]

Don, We got the Chance to Donate a Nice F Mono Traveling award for the FAST 8 F MONO SHOOT OUT & Picked Up the Multi Engine Traveling Award. NICE TRADE !!!!! The Victory was Sweeeeeeeeeeet. The traveling awards are bringing in some Fast Competition with Good Equipment.

 

[Mark Bullard]

Taught him everything he knows about twins and he is still a baby. Darn if it was not for bad glow plugs. But as Joe knows is that my name is on it twice. The level of competion in that class was second to none. The final was not decided until the last round of the race, it was that close.
