Thats my point zen master. It doesn't HAVE to be in the water if you have the talent. You're simply MISLEADING the competetion into thinking they do.

I've seen you down there surveying the course when you think nobody is watching. Seems you may be teaching Tony a thing or two as well.

Got to say it doesnt matter how you got there. It's getting there first.

I guess what I was trying to get at is how does one learn how to race and turn a flatbottom. I had Jamie Jamison barking in my ear while I was getting over the O'Sot mode. Do people just get their buddy to tell them or is their a book fr something. I know that most old gezzers will tell you everything but will a new person have the balls to ask without feeling dumb.

So when you asked the pros they never told you it was hazardous to your health to do wheelies on a scooter ?

im probably the newest most unexperienced racer out there, id say its all seat time, and definitely all of the OLD guys are more than willing to answer any question u ask. I ask a million questions everytime im at a race.

Tony tells me they are way slow when they are "IN" the water. Even slower when the driver is.

Where was this picture taken? When was it? How did things end up???
Looks a little like L.B. Marine Stadium, but not sure???
Thanks,

Long Beach 2010. Slight damage to the wing, only because he over rotated. Quick trip to the pits for a slight tweek to the wing and he came back and won.

Wow, lucky deal. Must have got all of their attention.

I'm bored so what do you think. What attitude do you guys take when you get to the turn. I'm sure that everyone could use a few tricks. Why do k's bark the motor going thru a turn? If not k's what about the other classes. I'm sure this information would help anyone thinking about going racing or to just keep the the boat the right side up.

i do.

We know you do........

Ya gotta love the the Real King....keepin it real...haha
