SPECIAL THANKS FORT MYERS from V-37

Pier 57 / Twisted Metal Motorsports would like to extend a special thank you to some special people. we would like to thank Robert and Jeremy our divers who assisted my right foot with that stuck hatch and helped get us to the surface as well as did their best to assist in saving our boat. Kevin- the guy who towed us in in the beautiful black 36 fountain sportfish without causing a single extra scratch through tight canals--went out of his way to take us in and feed us-- many thanks. Our fellow competitors from Bad Boy Powerboats Will and Tony. Unbelievable-- Tony jumped into a nasty pitch black canal, swam around the muck and hooked up our boat for us to help right it with our hummer and his f-650. Tony I cant say enough thanks to you for the effort as I was water logged enough and the whole right side of my body was beat up. Randy Kent and Reggie Fountain III- again unbelievable Randy and Reggie were very instrumental in helping us right and raise that boat--thank you so much. These racers could have turned the other cheek and went out to party instead they stayed up till 3:30 am helping us. Joe Spina-aka Loose Cannon-- drove 2 trucks with 3 guys including himself down from sarasota at 11:00 at night to save our butts and lift the boat out and put it on the trailer. Andy and Steve- Andy is our crew chief and Steve is his assistant--these guys didnt hesitate to jump in the gulf to try to hook up nd right the boat---not to mention the tireless hours spent preparing it for the race- Andys wife Lori - she puts up with our racing habit very well and also wasnt scared to get dirty and help. My Mom and Dad for their help and support with every thing. Every one down there that helped us worked as a team to accomplish so much with so little to work with. Steve Page and Jon Maas of Page racing for letting us use their facilities to clean the boat as well as providing Bill their mobile service tech to help us get the engines running again as well as lending us a header just to make the race. If we have forgotten any one please forgive us as there is so much to do. Thanks again to every one--we couldnt have done it without you. Since i'm in the middle of a novel- I need to thank Team Fury, Muscle, Miccosukee Gaming, Popeyes and AMF for lending us a helping hand with numerous things--by the way Brett the spacers worked well- let me know where to send them back. Thanks again everyone--hope to see you again on the course soon.

Billy and Lisa
