Congrats to Carson Brummet, you have done your family proud sir.

Nice Charlie

Give me one more interesting topic to waste hours on reading about

Cool link to the Salton Sea 500

He definitely needed to back out of it.

Oh I know, I watched it, and it was getting flighty to say the least. JT knows what he's doing

The boat sounds amazing and down at the finish bouy when he lifted I was hoping he would... he ran right up to the edge and hung over. I was holding my breath.

Live to fight another day.

JT wasn't exactly running on the edge. Course conditions were windy with a crosswind. We knew it would be a challenge. JT ran it tighter than yesterday's run. The lift near the finish was a gust of wind and he reacted to it as he should.

We decided to call it a day.

I'll never forget the sound of this boat idling out at Desert Storm, literally reverberates through your entire body, sweet music and sweet boat overall.
