Gonna be pretty tough to schedule the weather...? Rough as the lake gets, there are quite a few days when its a millpond out there....especially in the summer. Probably have better luck in the spring or fall of 2013. I'll tag along in the AT.

I'm in too if:

1) This is for real
2) It is going to be after May 1 2013
3) This is for real
4) I can get a real driver for my boat (because I'm a rookie)
5) This is for real.

This is for real we are having our first meeting next week here at Loto.
We have spoken to business in Chicago the wheels are in motion.

The drive behind this is our 12 year old daughter who has just had heart surgery at Barnes Children's Hospital and is doing awesome !!!

No kidding. Best of luck to your daughter and your family. Hope this all comes together. I would like to come and watch.

Well then, no better boat to have there than "Recovery". Kind of the spirit of the race team and my boat.

I can't imagine what it must be like. I have a 10 and a 12 who mean the world to me.

Again, I have no idea what I'm doing but there are plenty of good people I have already met and contacted who are more than willing to help me run this beast!

Has anybody thought of getting a helicopter for this?

I think the key to this is who picks the water conditions ;) Just sayin.

Congrats on your daughter too. Can't even imagine :(
