I'm proud to say I shook your hand when you stepped out of the Denali on Saturday morning of the Ozarks OSS Races. I was the guy in the running shorts...out for my morning jog down to the dry pits checking out the hardware. You are a credit to the sport Mr. Haggin...keep going full throttle.

BTW...Scott and Marc are awesome as well...Straight Jacket and I yacked with them about starting racing for a while Sunday morning down on the docks. Team Geico rocks.

Stories like this are great... real motivational guy
ROCK ON !!!!!:ernaehrung004:

It seems Mr. Haggin has learned much from his family and is not resting on his dad's laurals, I hope he is in this for the long haul, the sport can use more down to earth people like him, hats off!

Great article !

....

Mr. Haggin does have an admirable lifestyle that needs emmulating. I don't care how he makes it, all I care is how I'm going to make it happen! :D

My only question: How much does it take to be EBM's “Professional” Extreme Boater of the year? :cool-smiley-027:

More realistic. What kind of money does it take to run each of the classes, either cat or V?

The most important role we as fans can do though. Make it known that we exist! Companies sponsor racers based on how much exposure their "brand" is going to get. Same with broadcast networks, they sell advertising and part of that is based on how many watch the program. United we get to watch more races on TV!!!!! :D

And with all the Toys he has, I still cant figure out why all he wants to do is race this boat. Haggin, You are a Nut, Luv ya man. Smitty

because he has a habit of surrounding himself with good people

OH PLEASE !!!! as if you don't know how much fun that boat is

Bernie I forgot where I met you because I was drunk but your a cool dude , no need to brown nose.
