Terry,

I think it would be a good idea if we had someone review points with the scorer at the end of the weekend. It seems like the points at every race are messed up. I dont know where the point of failure is, but it needs to be ironed out.

There was great camaraderie everywhere. I had more help and assistance than I could ask for. The boat ran better than expected given the thrash it took to get it together. I'm going to need more power from the little LS motor to be competitive, but I can get more experience driving the boat in the mean time. I did not run Sunday due to teething issues (wiring and computer glitches) but I should have that sorted out by Parker. I have a long list of people to thank for helping and welcoming me into the class including: Harold Jr & Sr, Terry, Brad, Ron, Gary, Mark, Nick, Ralph, Lance, Jim and the list goes on... Thanks to all for some great new friends and clean, fun racing.

As to the boats performance, I ran a best of 86 mph (gps) in the first heat on Saturday, about 8 mph off the fastest pace. This was pretty evident when Nick, Ron and Mark got around me on the first lap of the final. After that the engine went south with computer and fuel delivery problems and I finished 7th which was last. There is no engine or boat damage.

Looking forward to Parker next month...

I hope to see this boat on the water again soon!

So did Mark take the overall for the weekend as the sheet says above? His point total is irrelevant for what I'm writing.

I'm finalizing the magazine feature today so I will assume yes until someone here tells me otherwise. Thanks, Mike

I submitted with 511 being the winner. Hopefully it is correct.
