2003, first race of the OPA Season, Point Pleasant, NJ. Kevin's first race with me, hit the hole at turn one with freeze frames helicopter just in front of us, went into the hole hit the throttles forward and came up at Jeff's side door of the copter. Good thing he had an ALERT pilot. Jeff said the condo was outta the water at least 10-12 feet and he has the photos to prove it. We came down, hit and the refrigerator fell out, blew out all the doors inside, pulled both seats outta the floor and broke both deck hatches. WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN! Atlantic City is next, same race as ScottyB. After all that NYC was the water that KNOCKED ME OUT! Go Figure.

Grand Haven Michigan. Was it '84?
I remember Gentry leading but breaking right before the finish and Copeland winning. I think their average speed was in the high 50's or low 60's. Those boats weighed about what 2 new Skater 46's weigh. Unreal

Re: Roghest Race??
Miami hands down in 04` I was in my 28 Pantera and never made it to the milling area, submerged the boat in the inlet three times next to Bill from Taboo and lost power. Bill`s 42 Fountain was next to me and it looked small in those waters. Thanks to the Coast Guard assistance they were able to hook me up and clear me from the rocks.
