Re: Roghest Race??
Cape Cod; I didn't race the Miami one. However when you crest a wave and look to your starboard and about 1/2 mile away you see Miss Budwiser about 20 feet in the air with her bow shooting straight for the clouds, you realize quickly, today is more about survival than competition.

CAPE COD!!! I chipped a tooth and I was covered in sand by the end of the race, even though we were in a Phantom under canopy. We stuffed so many times and the water was so churned up with sand it "dripped" in to the cockpit. I was driving for Bill Park. I miss that guy!!! :D
Ben PS: And we won SVL... :evilb: |

Point Pleasant was the roughest race I was ever in period. You want BIG, come to Jersey. I do have to say the first time I ever met Ben Hedrick, I test drove a bat boat with Him in Key West the year we all were evacuated for the Hurricane. Remember how big that was Ben?????? I think the Coast Guard got a tip that there was a bat boat heading for Cuba that day. THAT WAS FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drink: :drink:
:cool: :cool: :cool: |

Finally found out why they have a milling area, the waves were breaking over the boat, we had to keep it on plane to mill. The start boat was a navy destroyer, I dont think there were any turn boats. The plumber was one of the ones that turned around. 2nd place was atlantic city I think in 93 still have a poker chip from caesars. Curtis |
