SDBA race OKC

I had a great time. It was a pretty stressful weekend learning the ropes and the ways of racing but Kevin kept the boat ready to go for and and craig had all the tools, parts, and brains to keep us running.

Never expected to win anything, just wanted to make some new friends, party with some old friends and see if i could do the racing thing.

Great to meet you on the take out holding rope. Sorry I did not make it down to visit with y'all. In the third qualifying session I threw a flywheel ring gear. It sawed the stainless intake water line in half and pretty well ground down the starter drive. We had a little repair session, but with a few parts from surrounding camps we had her back together before supper.

Hope to see y'all again. Be sure and call me out if you see me again!

Heres a pretty good pic of "Wat'r the odds" handing my ass to me in the first round of eliminations Sunday. I think the Makers Mark showed up on the tree....
