Thanks for the reply Brownie. This is an event I would be interested in attending.

Ha! I didn't know that. I still have a "Cat-u-later" t-shirt from the 80's with a 27' Cougar on it.

Old Farts Forever. Only place in the world where you can talk to 6 of the first 9 Miami-Nassau race winners, THE world water speed record holder, winningest boat racer of all time, go for a ride with some of them, etc. My favorite event ever.... Jupiter, Fl 20-22 October 2011

Definitely going to get there this year

Great job as usual Seeroy,,,,,,,,,,,,, Plenty of new stuff to keep us going this year,,,,,,,
Have mentioned this story before with regards to RIGGS, over 40 years ago went bowling with Mel and a group of guys (YES BOWLING0 ,, In my life I have never seen a bowling ball travel so fast,,,,,,, He and Odell to-gether are legendary wihth plenty of photo ops,, Should be the best ever

I have spent countless hours and miles racing alongside Odell and Riggs. If you want a tough job, just try to beat those guys in rough water. The whole Mercury team was made of tough sum*****es. Their success was legendary, especially if you consider that they weren't allowed to beat a customer if he was winning the race! At the end of the "golden era", I was the only competitive boat with white engines. They assigned Bakos to run alongside me wherever I went. Had some fun there......... Love those guys. Can't wait to see them again. I am souping up my mobility cart in case they want some action.

I gotta go to this!!
