Bill,Gregg, Bob, Rich....HEADS UP>>> There's an offshore race in Sarasota this weekend !! And we would enjoy the company (Big piston or Turbine) on the racecourse..plenty of limelight to go around!
small print....... you will have to turn...fast...like 50 times...actually ..you going to have to turn ridiculously fast...like 50 times...and... there is no lunch stop (wtf)....and unfortunately, no one cares who made it to the first turn, first.....oh..and you can't slow down for 80 miles..(sorry, it's just kinda how it is).. probably will be other boat traffic on the course (no jet skis though) so you will have to avoid them..if possible ....yeah and well one last thing...the water probably won't be flat as a pancake. (I know.. really? )
Seriously, were making some calls to see if we can get to lay down a little bit .... no one has called us back yet so your props will most likely get some airtime.

So pack your beast up and come show us how it's done in front of 75k fans. (or pack your family and friends up and come say hello and hang with all (your friends) the racers and crews in the pits)...either way ,we'd ALL love to see you guys at one of the best races of the year!!
XOXO

Huh. I must be reading that totally different than you guys.....
Im not seeing the karma or the ouch cuz knowing Scotty and Marc, they would still like to see their friends come to Sarasota and bring their boats to run or to hang out ..... and knowing their friends/fellow racers, they'd love to be there.....

Prolly the high pressure turbine disk went thru the case. Went the cycle of a 4 stroke engine is broken its just shuts down. When turbine engine cycles are interrupted you get one hell of a fire. If you remove suck, squeeze,bang, blow=fire. Damn shame it tore up such a badass boat. But don't quote me, just what I think may have happened
