Indy 500 = St Pete......Daytona was Baja 500! Give me rough water any day!

Glad you guys think so. It's hands down one of my favorites (no bias, of course). Don't know if you guys saw pics of the poker run this year, but it gets plenty rough in the bay some days.

I still think a great race would be St. pete to Sarasota and back. Spectating everywhere. Great start/finish, and awesome viewing from the Skyway bridge piers. I miss the races here.

I'm got some shots of the 2000 worlds at home in a box somewhere, I'll dig them up tonight.

What is Rique up to these days?

He has some business interests going on in Jamaica and he travels between Cali and there alot I think he is out of the silicone business altogether!!! His silicone was the best stuff on the market though!!!!:sifone::sifone:

If I remember it did get a bay chop of a couple feet on it while we were racing to get a little air under the boats but nothing to get them jumping!!!!
