Does anyone know if any of the boats in that episode were owned by a "Ablert Basckay". I ran into someone who says his boat was in that scene?

Most of my friends not in the sport can't imagine why I would wrench on the boat for so many hours for such a short time running; but that takes us back to the Sport of Madmen and Kings again doesn't it.........

I´ve wrenched Racecars from ASA late models to FIA GT ( Oreca Viper/ Lambo Gallardo) F3 and Formula Fords and those all share little in common with the showroom model.
The ASA Stocker had only two small plastic pieces in the front from a regular Firebird and even the body is totally different. The Viper the same when you compare a stock one.
The Gallardo is a AWD stock but a RWD as a racers.... and Formulas... well.
Regarding how much one wrenches a boat compared to a racecar.. well I´d change jobs to boats anyday witnessing a friend racing his boat and time consumed in the garage.
Offshore racing is the only form of Motorsport that has been said you can become a "world champ" if you have the wallet, as a driver or navigator only thou IMO. The Throttlemen are mostly pro´s.

That hasn´t killed autoracing....quite contrary more and more people are coming to the racetracks year by year.

And lets go with Ethanols etc like the Auto racers have done years ago...
Remember theres classes in drag racing for example that hasn´t been dependent on gasoline for 40 yrs.
