Well after a long three days of boat racing, the Atwell's just rolled in back home to Jax. I want to thank the Charleston club members helping at the race for yet another fun year at the Tunnel Champs.
Just wanted to send a special shoutout to Kevin "Smart Monkey" Lee for yet again playing the role of master mechanic, engine guru, and silencer for when my dad gets over the db level.
A big thanks also goes to Shane Adderley as I don't think we have a single boat that doesn't have a part that we haven't borrowed from you. Lol.
Jeff Whiddon at Horseshoe Head Marine also needs a shoutout for having some of the fastest tunnel boats to never finish a heat in the nation. Haha.
But for real though, his stuff is fast.
Talking about fast, I can't forget Ryan Pacheco who has THE baddest 40 tunnel I've ever seen, a Van's Racing Shaman with a beast of a Nova Rossi on the back of it. You've gotta put me in contact with your motor man. Oh wait.....
I need to give thanks to Bob Kensill as well for hooking my 20 boat up with a few extra mph. Between Bob saying "Hey try this" and offering his expertise and parts box, and then Larry Kent hanging out for the weekend and giving me a crash course in prop work, without those guys my stuff wouldn't be nearly as fast as it is now.
The list goes on and on as do the stories but I'll leave those for others to tell. Bottom line is if you weren't there, you missed out. Although I do want to thank Randy Premo for not being in attendance as somebody else actually had a chance to win B tunnel this year. Haha. Jk buddy. We missed you man. Hope all is well and the docs give you the all clear here soon.
Thanks again everyone. Another year in the books. Atwell Racing over and out.
