fyi........

we lost sight of the pace boat and had to guage the start by peppers taking off. at that point we toast at the start and got hosed down side by side with randy. you cant see us cause we were completely buried in the hose. when the spray cleared, we were headed straight for the red channel marker you speak of. we had to cut hard right or we would have ate it......definitely should be looked at for next year

Good Input Ron....I did not see the start , I was pulling our boat out from the first race. It was a tight area , we now have something to look at and make better for next year in Biloxi. You guys moved up to 3rd pretty quickly. What did you end up breaking?

Yikes hitting one of those could turn a cat into 2 skinny vee hulls!
