Good luck to ya guys!

HOLY CRAP ;D

This was a blast...

The boats were fast and the drivers were (as I expected) way cool guys.

First I would like to say hi to Charley my boat owner and all around way cool dude. Sorry about the tweaked turn fin.. He hired me as the driver for one of the heats and I dorked it up.. For our Nitro friends (do you have any idea how fast a P sport hydro accelerates?) Nothing like having a bunch of watts kicking A$$..

And of course Doug.. Thank goodness Kermit will rain as pond owner again witch makes me very happy. Also when you fully recover from the race please rest assure that you did one heck of a job getting this thing done.. It was nice to meet you and your wife and I (we) look forward to next time (note I did not say next year)

The MN gang put on one heck of a show. Mark Anderson (not the Sport 40 guru, must be the name) had a killer P sport hydro that looked as if it could make short work of a good sport nitro boat. Congrats.

Also congrats to the rest of the racers.

Enough from me.. I was just the CD.. how about the rest of the gang that was there.

Now I need to make a few phone calls…what did Paul say I needed….lets see SS1 and a ……

If you need an SS-1, I have one coming that I won at the Michigan Cup race. If it shows up here this week I'll bring it to the Internats with me. Maybe I could swap it for a couple of T-shirts or something......

Yeah, STILL waiting for over 4 weeks now for it to show up!

Hey Mike...who's the Hottie behind the boats?

(Hi Shelia )

 

[Ian Inverarity]

Hey Mike,

You sure do build some nice looking boats! 8)

I have seen the rigger under the table before someplace... ;D

Is that a Wildthing on the table? Does it go well?

Nitrocrazed racing: If God intended us to make fiberglass boats he would have made fiberglass trees. I have seen fiberglass trees... ;D

 

[Kris Flynn]

Ken and gang.

Great shots and yea thats my Chic.. Sheila is a very good sport and even raced in the ZIG-ZAG class with her very own custom set up ZIG-ZAG racers that she got as a gift from the host of the race. Cool Grim-ette decals and all.

Yea i brought the BIG DOG (AUS BOAT) to the show to show them what a E boat looks like. The racers were saying cool things..

The mono on the table is indeed a Wild Thing..However its a little hard to tell what motor is in there.... Can you guess what size.

Hey Grim,

I understand a certain FE vendor took an order for an H&M cabover from some wild Cheesehead the other night.

What'd you say about don't count on next year? LOL

I wonder if we're going to see it race in MN in September?

 

[Grimracer]

Amybody

Got a burger to go with that cheese? ;D

You gave us a clue in Internats FIY. I'm guessing a .12, OS or Thunder Tiger maybe? It's hard ro tell, I need a closer shot.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could get a certain Jim Irwin to start making some .12-sized pipes for us? I'd take several!
