Gone way to soon. They had some big things in the works when this happened. A good friend has the 50 skater they were building back then to race his turbo engines against Mercury.

The years seem to fly by as we get older. Thanks for remembering Jeff also.

Jeff always stood out in a crowd with his sunglasses even if the boat was parked. He was really proud of what they were building at the time (both the "safest Skater ever", and the "weapon power" that Brad was developing. I spent a decent amount of time talking to him at shootout week and then at Cumberland the night before. Seven years doesn't seem possible. We lost a couple of really good guys-R.I.P.
