    Don Aronow Around Long Island Race August 22, 2015

    Oddly enough, I'm not inspired. Running at that speed, with shorts, a T-Shirt and no helmet is of slight concern. Running into a fog bank without nav notes is another issue. What do I know? The commentator said he is legendary powerboat racer and raising money for a Cancer charity. It's all...
