Hats off to OSO member Splinter for his help in Cincinnati!
 

Hats off to Splinter (Chris Carloss) and his dad Bill for getting my boat to Cincinnati in perfect shape and on time. It's guys like you that make boating better for everyone. If anyone evey has a reason to do business with Chris, rest assured all will go well. Thanks again, man.

Hats off also to all the racers and organizers at Cincinnati and New Richmond who did their best with what mother nature dished out. Just wish that we could have stayed for the "big" race...

C, Great to meet you this weekend, sorry I did not get a chance to chat with you some more. I wanted to bs some motorsports stuff, but I was running around like a madman......

The boat is sweet!!

See ya at the next go 'round

Allan

Allan: Yep - b-u-s-y weekend for everybody there, especiallywhen Mother Nature conspires against you. I'm still cleanig the mud out of everything I had there. The spectators hung in there, though. God Bless 'em.

Congrats on your win.

Thanks Chuck..........no problem, we are home safe and sound.

Thanks C spray...you probably had a pretty good view of me getting a little crossed up down in 1&2 on the 6th or 7th lap. I saw you sitting down there during the parade lap.

Take care....

Chris,

Thank you for everything... Sorry I was running around like a Chicken with my head cut off, would have like to spent a lot more time getting to know you guys.

Chuck,

Thanks for all your help and for having the best looking Patrol Boat in the History of Offshore - it was neat to see every time around.

Allan4 and Chris (Reindl): Thanks for the compliments - we do our best to represent the breed. Too bad about the eligibility mixup for the radar deal - I think we could have given that Cigarette a run for his money. He ran 91 downstream, and we've run 86 in calm water.... Anyway, my parents had a ball watching the race from the water (the roof came in handy when the skies opened up), and I got to buy my Dad a Father's Day dinner!

CCarloss - Thanks again for the help. The boat's sitting in my driveway again; safe, secure and no worse for the wear (other than some mud on the tires :eek: ).
