Okay everyone, here's your chance to abuse.
I'll be racing the Bat Boat of Dean Howard with him in C5 at the Harrison race and SVL at the St Clair race.
He'll have total control of the throttles, so don't worry too much.....
Dean is donating the funds to the purse for the racers at Harrison, sweeet.
I'm attaching a few pictures of the boat. It has been repainted to the yellow, but the green pics are of the same boat.
Wish me luck, and really do everything you can to support Dean and Rick's efforts with the Harrison race and OPA for their efforts with both......
See you there.....

07-19-2009 02:17 PMVery, Very COOL!!
I bet you'll have a blast.
You should get someone to take pics and document everything.
And you should post in detail your experience.
It would certainly give everyone an idea of what it's like to start in the sport.
I'd love to see it - it would be a great read!"Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

07-19-2009 04:10 PMYou guys are trying so hard to standardize the rules for SVL and make it feasible to get in long term, I cannot not do it. That has always been my biggest gripe and you're Seriously (
) trying.
You'd make fun of me if I didn't do it now..(Well, you will anyway)..
Thanks George, appreciate it big time......Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

07-19-2009 04:57 PMthe biggest mistake most rookies make is leaving the turn indicator on, you could win the race but if you are blinking the entire time it is just shameful.
