looking at the apba page it says that only bj and randy entered. is that correct?

Thanks guys we had a great race.The better prepared team won and that was them.Our trim switch broke on the parade lap so we had to jump it at the pump before the mill took off.Never raced before with out trim but I can tell you its not good in 4 foot seas.We did our best and thanks for all the support from all of you threw the season.I have no excusses and am not implying the results would have been any differant.Im still after the Activator and have the worlds to redeam ourselves.
Very humbled Randy
THATS RACING

Thanks everyone!
What another great year of racing. Hats off to Candy and Glen of Typhoon. We had a great time in the Bahamas and put on a pretty good show for the few fans that were lucky enough to be there. Great job by APBA for putting this thing on. It's not easy to put on a race in the Bahamas but for a first time event, things went pretty well. Mark and I are looking forward to returning to Key West and finishing what we set out to do. Win a National and World title. Special thanks to Typhoon, Flashwave, Propco, High energy, Velocity and all the other Factory-1 teams that made our class the most competitive and exciting to watch. I hope to see everyone show up for Key West and put on a great race. See you in 4 weeks.

You're going to have to see that #1 on the side of my boat for another year. After another whiping in Key West it's going to be a long cold winter for Team Typhoon. Talk to you soon 2nd place

bj, you need to come to new orleans. you can thump some melons and flex on them.

Flashwave · 10-21-2002, 09:01 PM

Randy,

I can't believe you finished second with a broken trim switch

Let the fun begin.....

To both F-1 Teams that showed up in Freeport.
Thanks for giving me the time to rub elbows with the "Top Guns of F-1" in the Bahamas.

BJ, I will take you up on the invite to be on your "will call list" at a race next year.

Mark, I will think about taking that blower out of my boat to save my drive.

Randy, When will we have the time to share that 12 pack to talk about the trials and tribulations of National Title racing and trim related issues.

We enjoyed ourselves at the 2002 Nationals thanks to all of the great people that make the APBA the premier sanctioning body of Offshore Racing

Sincerely, Russ Withiam

Shane,

Check with Bradshaw. One of the guys he had in the P4-69 may be going without a ride. I'll email you his address.
