Yep ! It was the Camden race in 2005 that you rode along with me. I think I may have pictures on my office PC. I'll post them next week if I find any of you.

Really enjoyed the episode tonight! I wish there we some more "at speed" shots though.

Johnny, This pic is from 2004. I think you came with me on a pace boat for the first time when you were around 10.

Frankly I believe this is the highest quality show ever produced on Offshore Racing and at a cost of 50k per episode please try to appreciate what we have done for you and the sport in general. Also please know that without the financial support of AMSOIL, GEICO and OPTIMA Batteries this should would not be on the air.

As for Mikey and CBPBA. They are simply the best and most accomidating club that we work with, bar none.

Next week, racing from Orange Beach in BIG Water. Enjoy.

FIFY

Thanks for the kind words Ron, you know we appreciate the great relationship we have with the OPA and try to make every year a little better than the last. Mike deserves a lot of credit for all the work he has put into Solomons and that comes from someone that knows

[QUOTE=Big Time;3562401]Ted G. got a lot of face time too. Nice job Ted!

/QUOTE]

Thanks! But damn I gotta lose some weight, I have the perfect looks for radio

Aside from that the productions are the best I have ever seen related to offshore racing, Andrew and his crew have it nailed!
