However I am getting away to the mountains for a few days with the family so all is well...
(In other words you will probably still get a quick txt because I will have phone service) 
That being said I wish you guys nothing but the best for the entire weekend !!! No doubt you guys have represented well over the years and helped keep a great boat alive !!!

It was a great weekend!! The boat ran Great!! I haven't ran the boat since last year at the Shootout (New baby in our family)
Anyway, on the Friday Fun Run we lost the power steering belt right at the start.. We stopped and put it back on but it was toast and lasted only a couple of miles..
We fixed that Saturday Morning and went out and ran 83 in our first pass. Since that is what we ran last year I was happy and kicked back and watched the show the rest of the day.
Sunday I knew we were light on fuel so I went ahead a pulled all the extra weight out of the boat and went out and tried it again.. They got us at 84 and our GPS said 84.7!! So we beat our speed from last year and the first day!! (BTW, we were so light on fuel that we actually ran one one side out of gas as we pulled into the slip!!)
