Awesome story Rich!
I remember the K&K guys from when they raced in Pt. Pleasant back in the 80's.
I towed them in one year as they were desperately holding onto one of their outboards as the backet broke and was hanging on by a thread.
They were a great group of people :-)

Beyond the tribute itself, I thought Rich made an excellent point. Real racers and good competition are the backbone of racing success. Without them, no form of racing can succeed.
