Was that 1985? Were you on a 200X?? I was there that year as a spectator, What a great time riding my 350X from Cantina to Cantina. Went back in 2010 with a friend in his trophy truck and worked in his pit crew, and drove a chase truck that was a blast as well. Got some Steeekerz??

If you have never raced SOMETHING, you have missed a very important part of your life. When I came to Florida in the 50's, my goal was to be in a race against my hero, Sam Griffith. I did that. Then I wanted to BEAT Sam Griffith. Not so easy. I came here in 1956. Offshore racing started in 1956. Coincidence? I think not.... We became a racing group who cared for one another, helped one another, and had fun. Hell, if somebody got hurt or sick or broke, we sent a guy around to drink with him until he got over the urge to race. Those days, unfortunately, are gone. When racers started to worry about their own asses more than the blue eyed groupies asses, it was all over.
