I was right were you are, a year ago. I was forunate enough to reach out to OSS this May when they announced their "racing with the Pros" program. I got paired up with Randy & Team Typhoon in Lake Cumberland. I had never met him, let alone, been in a race boat before. I thought I was going to get to "test" with him, but it ended up being a race weekend in SVL. What a great bunch of guys (and girl). They welcomed me with open arms, and shared all their advice & knowledge. I got to run at LOTO in the Nationals with Schluess again. I'm hooked, and now looking forward to more racing in 2010!
