Crew Chief Glenn grumpily loosens the bolts he had previously torqued down and demonstrates: No untoward activity.

This baby is good!

The first try to disqualify the team from New Jersey did not work. But APBA officials find yet another issue.

Oh no!

Team Typhoon is penalized with one lap for missing a buoy. It happened while Randy and Glen were dunked by a boat twice as large and twice as fast as theirs. Randy and Glen had momentarily lost power, which did cost them first place.

And now, that buoy costs them the race.

The new results are:

First: F1-90 H2O Motorsports
Second: F1-10 High Energy
Third: F1-1 Activator

At the victory ceremony, Randy shows which boat really won the race.

And he steals their show with snow. A cooler full of New Jersey snow has been trucked to Florida.

And now, H2O Watersports is the target of the first snowball fight Daytona has ever seen.

The checkered flag is used as protective clothing. H2O Watersports: "We're Southern. We're gullible."

Randy finds his humor again - somewhere.

Team Typhoon decides to have their victory party after all. At the Wreck.

Again, a good time is being had by all.

Nice production.....Thanks.

Thank you, that was great.

Well, at the time of this typing (Sunday morning) the APBA-site http://www.apba-offshore.com/news.cf...67&Action=view still shows F1-29 as second. Maybe I had too much sun. Or maybe they reconsidered.

Superboat
 

..what class were the Coen's entered in??

Re: Superboat
 

F1

By the way: If I’ve understood the new APBA rules correctly, then the last place in Daytona should only be a minor irritation for F1-29. The worst result in the Pro-Series can now be wiped out by taking part in a minor venue. So if Typhoon is last in Daytona and is first at the Podunk State Fair & Powerboat Races, then it’s as if they’ve won in Daytona. According to APBA, everybody wins with that rule: The lesser venues get the big names, and the big names get a chance to beautify their record.

Huh?

General Rules Revision
V04.08.03
1. Revise: Bonus points will not be awarded to Pro Series boats attending Divisional Races, rather Pro Series Boats that qualify, may drop their lowest score from any one race and improve their Pro Series points standing by attending a Divisional event. Section VI, Rule 4, paragraphs C & D, pages 65-66; Section VIII, Rule 2, paragraph A(3), page 74; Section VIII, Rule 2, paragraph B(3), page 75;

Interesting!

Good thread, thanks! :chick:

Yeah. And the really nice part is one can tour the races in the sticks until one has the coveted first place. This rule will provide for top talent touring the boonies.

Bertell that was one of the best pre/post race views anyone has ever done. Thanks and keep up the good work everyone loves pics.

Peconic, do you plan to be at all the races. We have a camera for you and a seat in the pace boat if so.

He is with us!!!!!! What a great job.
MD

I will be a some races, as time allows.
I have my own camera.
Pace boat? No thanks. I prefer to be close to the real action.

Thanks for the kudos, Mad Dog.

Close to the real action, how do you get closer to the real action than in the pace boat?

I want to be THAT close, and still work with a short lens. With Glenn & Randy in attendance, my chances of getting beaten up are manageable.

I like to do the human side of the story, the technical side appears to be well covered. If the pace boat gets me closer to the human side, great.

I won't be able to make Marathon, but I'm shooting for Savannah. That should be interesting.

very...impressive....shot!!

:D

Really.

RANDY- ok Marathon is right around the corner- any SPECIAL plans in the making? Daytona's first snowball fight, Marathon--- ???? Let's come up with something....

I love horse shoes or volleyball. Maybe against those week other classes!!!
MD

Randy, I have a few paint ball guns?

Salami and Mozzerall fights!!!!!!

Augie,

You got me rolling on the floor with this Salami and Mozzarella fight deal. Some how I can actually picture it. That's scarey!!!

DPT

Paint ball Guns- Noooo- too much of a risk - paint on a boat- ouch!!!

Salami and Mozzarelle- hummm....

I don't think we can get Propco again, they may be watching out for us to pull something on them again.... "We're from the south, we're gullible" That's a classic line from them that we will never forget....

Offshore Addiction, stop by The Jersey Boyz and we'll have a good old fashioned Italian Salami and Mozz free for all. Dennis......we'll make it a reality next weekend!!!!!!!!!!Watch out.....the salami is NOT sliced!!!!!!!!!!!!!
