Incredible piece of Offshore racing history!
There was a charity event for P.A.W.S for homeless animals that we help support. They had an auction and I purchase the coolest lot of offshore history. When I was a kid the most famous throttle man was Richie Powers. He donated some very cool stuff to the cause. I was thrilled to be able to win the bidding. These will be framed and displayed in my office. Richie was there to sign everything. I am going to treasure this stuff!

It was a good run. It was a rough (as usual). No incidents of any kind!!!! They had a good turn out. They raised a pretty good amount of money for P.A.W.S which was great!! Its a great cause and they do a great job. They took some great photos, I can't wait to get them, some good air shots.
I will be at the Ft. Lauderdale run next weekend. Shold be great. Hopefully the wind will lay down for a change!
