All Active thunder owners please check in!!!!!
How many of you guys would like to see an AT campaigned on the pro-series circuit in f-2?
The cost to do so properly would be about 85-100k per season. I own the fastest 32 with stock 500hp ever built. In the last race with an un-experienced and never practiced crew we were only out ran by a 36 Apache with Bobby Saccenti throttling and a 37 Outerlimits with Gene Weeks Aboard (boat blew the deck in Deerfield that year) We managed to stay in front of Wyatt Fountain in a 38 Fountain and Phil Lipshutz in a 38 Top Gun. Due to a lengthen coarse we ran out of fuel with less than 1/2 lap to go. Our average speed was about 1.2 mph from the winner and the winning times from Key West 01 are within 1mph so the boat is capable. I was curious of how many of you guys would support a racing effort (in any way possible) or possibly just put in your .02 so we can forward it to Pat for some factory help.
I currently have $35,000 raised in Sponsors through local vendors for my company.

Shane, you know I would be up for at least a couple of races a year, to help prep the boat and get it to the races!! This marriage thing puts a damper on disposable income for a while!! Are you going to the Miami show??
