True, but idk if Scism has won any world championships with CMS?. I remember Gary Stray once said that the two best t-men that Victory Team ever had was Felix Serralles and Khalfan Harab, but i have no idea as to why he ranked these guys ahead of any other t-man that was hired by the Victory Team.

So which are more difficult for the throttleman in worse case scenarios :
In the past - Big open water, lower speeds but bigger waves and extended straight runs using older technology ?
or
Currently - Inshore, calmer water, higher speeds and more turns and newer technology ?

I personally got a kick out of Rich Luhrs' old list from 2003:
"How about these?:
1. The World's First T-man....... Bobby Moore
2. The World's most underrated T-man....Bobby Idoni
3. The World's most amazing T-man.......... Willie Diaz
4. The World's best rough Water Vee T-man.... Bobby Saccenti
5. The world's best rough Water Cat T-man.... Joey Imprescia
6. The World's most handsome T-man..... J.T.
7. The World's smartest T-man..... Jerry Gilbreath
8. The World's most experienced T-man...... Stevie Curtis
9. The World's most innovative T-man...Billy Sirois
10. The World's best mind game T-man......."Smitty" Smith
11. The World's best up and coming T-man...... Gary Ballough
12. The complete package T-man.......... J.T.
13. The "if only he had more time" T-man....... Mark Lavin ( Greatness nipped in the bud)
With apologies to a bunch of people
T2x"
P.S. Being a Team Scarab fan, I'd like to also salute the humble T-man, crew chief, setup man, and visionary engineer, John Connor. Gratefully Lars. D.S.
