I was kinda waiting for Dave Scott's name to be mentioned too :party-smiley-004:


Still cool to see boat racing in the paper. One of the girls from my office called last week and said she was looking at our local paper online and the was a listing on the national news part about the racing in KW with a picture of the Bud Light boat :cool:

Just an F.Y.I...........
SBI brought in the NYTimes.......he clarified "later" with Deana that you were the overall winner.

No matter who or what was mentioned... it is AWESOME for our sport that it got this kind of exposure!!! Way to go guys!!

Pat D 11-14-2008 05:52 PM

Absolutely right. The exposure to the sport is great.
If you haven't seen the actual paper, try to get one before the day is over. Unbelievable article. Many pictures. We even found a few copies here in the islands That is a miracle.

Before I started drinking Old Milwaukee non alcoholic, Bud was the only American beer I liked. It's depressing to see another foreign company buy another American icon. :( :(

Finding sponsorship was difficult even in the best of times. I just hope Geico will hang in there.
