I was trying to text you my gas saga I had going on Sunday morning. The extra 1000#'s killed me from tieing or beating Eddie. I will do better next year now that I know how it all works. I sent Jayboat a picture of your boat this morning so he could get the proofs of your boat to you for your pictures. Your new boat is AWESOME! I think Debbie is gonna drive our other boat in it next year. She's already talking smack about who all she would have beat in it. It would have done well in Sunday's water if the drives didnt blow off the back of the boat.

Gary, good hanging with you and your wife this past weekend. Sorry we couldn't do more of it, what a crazy and busy weekend. Still managed to have a great time though. Hope your condo and boat slip worked out ok. Your boat is unbeilieveable. See ya next year if not sooner.

We all know that the 399 Skater that Eddie was driving will run faster than Enough 4 Play. The thing that I was shocked with is how close you actually were to his numbers in this event. Not bad when you consider that you are running 12 year old technology on the hull and the skater is the latest and greatest. Next year check with Bruce to see if I can have his boat to run around in for 3 days and also run it in the shootout. Next year you should do the Funrun with all of us on Friday morning. This entire trip was an absolute blast. It was full of great people, great weather and awesome hardware every place you went.

We are coming back for all of it next year and I expect you to run with us in the shootout. I told you that you and I would take the Skater out if you wanted too but you blew your chance to ride around in it and drive it in the shootout with your email shannigan. If the radar had picked up Eddies first run, it would not have even been close. But the last 3 it was reading correctly....the boat was just getting out of shape in Sunday's water. As I told you before.....if the the Skater gets upset in the 120's...you HAVE to come out of it and then hit it again. Not good for drag racing in rough water. I have personally driven that boat into the mid 130's with plenty of stick left so there is no doubt that it is faster if you have the room or get a good run in. There is no doubt in my mind that Eddie ran the 151 mph on the first run that he came back in with on the gps on the first run.
Shannigan? What are you talking about I was just having some fun with you guys. The last word that I would use to describe you is "Sensitive".
