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 !!!

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!

Congrats on your daughter too. Can't even imagine

Mother Nature dictates the conditions. Tuesday, October 30th would be a great day. Winds 50 mph straight out of the north.

Well, this thread is somrthing to be proud of! It didnt turn into a sh!t show at all... Instead, it turned into a run for a great cause. THE ONION FUN RUN is going to be a big deal! So spring of 2013? When the date nailed down, let me know so I can plan to travel up! Im sure I can get a good group of guys to come up for a couple days.....Lets not forget the original start of this thread....Thumps 40 Skater VS Wicked Won. Two kick azz boats running balls out.....just like the old days!
