Not knowing Brad or Jeff, I wouldn't feel right trying to lead such an effort. It really needs to be spearheaded by those who knew them. Go for it.

I agree. Smith Power has made a very strong showing there in the last few years.

This is a huge loss for our community. I can only add my own experience from the night before.
Always positive, every time- although I only saw them when they were shining at an event.

Had a long conversation with Jeff- he was always ready to talk...

I had put him off from last year about prints, and we were laughing about it.
Every time I had run into him this year he was ribbing me to get him some 'wallhangers'
and I finally snagged one at LOTO. He was glad he hadn't bought prints with the blue paint. :cartman:

Here's the shot from LOTO. We were laughing...
Really gonna miss these fellas.

Krissy, and the entire Smith family , I am deeply sorry that we weren't able to make the trip to say our farewell & pay our respects to Brad ttoday . A few close friends of Brads and I tried hard to find a flight from Miami and just couldn't manage to get the times to work in this short notice .
We will keep Brad in our thoughts forever & offer our most heart felt condolences to your family at this very tragic time .
Everyone at Xtremepowerboats will never forget these two great men !
