In Ocean City we ran an engine dry on oil. No biggy, we have spare engines. We pull the starboard engine 2 days ago to find the bottom of the boat flexed up and crush the fitting on the oil line. Upon fiurther inspection , we have serious damage to the coreing on the bottom of the MTI. Guardado is the only place we will trust to do our glass work and the boats will not be done on time. We are extremely dissappointed in this seeing as we were looking foward to this event for a long time.
I myself, and the team have been working to bring this event into fruition. We will be in the pits with one of our boats on display, Nascar hauler etc. We will be using our safety boat to help with Fridays race as well as Sundays race.

Scotty, this is the second derogotory comment made by you about our team, watch it!

Sorry to hear that Scott, if there is anything I can do, just let me know. I know ya wont let me do your glasswork(I dont Blame ya) but if ya need any support in the pits give me a call, I would be glad to come down and help.

Scotty,

I am truly sorry to hear about your boats. They take a heck of a beating at the speeds you and Marc run! I can put in a couple more bolsters in my boat if need be bro. Just give me the word and I'll hustle. Wish I could do more.
