'Ongais'... a great name for the nickname his fellow drivers gave him; 'Danny On The Gas'.

The bustle....Fortunately for us we caught it before it became a catastrophic failure. Strong as steel now.

Jeff can you shed some light on your new project? What kind of hull, motors, etc? Would be nice to have some new manufactures and designs competing...

That's Cat, I knew that spelling didn't look right, and if I hadn't been so lazy I would have looked it up and got it right.
