Just built my grandson Gage's P Limited Tunnel. The boy can drive even though he is only 7. While running his boat he looked up at me and said " Papa is that as fast as it will go." I guess I shouldn't have l let him drive my 67 rigger. I'm glad he can drive it because it just wants to roll over for me.

Rick i started my son out almost 7 years ago, at that time he was 7 years old..He started out with a 20tunnel we bought off John Otto..As the yearswent by he has moved into the nitro monos, all i keep hearing is that he wants to go faster..Foley and Warren tell me its time for dad to put him in a twin rigger,,,

Guys becareful what you wish for...Look at Alex Black, i think hes 16years old and the pilot of a twin 90 Roadrunner...remember kids have no fear and have no

concept of the money and time we put into these boats...its like playstation on steriods

I agree. You and your wife should be proud. They are really good kids. Thank goodness for Momma's influence is "all I got to say about that"...... :p
 
Mitch they grow up quick. Next you will be working with your grandson, He will be helping you find stuff. Like Gage does me when I misplace or loose a tool he is there. " Here it is Papa I found it. " No judgement from that boy just love. My son was at the pond with Gage and I Sunday. He is letting us keep him for a while. Been out of work for a while and just has barely been making it. Be praying for him.

Great point Brett. No Idea of the time or money. Its good to see you guys running together. Alex graduates in a couple of weeks. I guess Josh is 15 now. I feel sorry for these gas guys running against him. He always there right in position at the start. We have a blast a our club races with those Black boys.
