Funny story, in 2004 my dad ran with Harry Turner in an Outerlimits and won the P2 worlds in Key West... that night i met Reggie Foutain at the award ceremony... This weekend I saw Reggie 2-3 times, and he remembered me from 8 yrs ago. Plus each time i saw him (in my Cig) he was nicer then the last time. He is truly a legend and icon of the sport..... He lppked better then ever and you could tell he had the need for speed.!!

I met him as well and I had a couple lightnings and he remembered them both. He also complimented me on the new cat and took a peak or two at the engine compartment. I am not one to be star struck as I live in Nashville and see "Stars" all the time and have fairly often interaction with a few. To be honest I was a little in awe. He was very nice and gentle and obliviously has a passion for our sport not many can match. I thanked him for working so hard for so many years for what we love to do and he thanked me for buying his boats!

He even gave RB some driving lessons!!

Doesn't matter what kind of boat you own, that's very cool!!! I like that big smile on your face to, that's looks like another good day on the water!
