The Cmdr Solo Pictorial: Alone In A Bat.
 

There I was ….

All by myself in the milling area while the F1 boats are battling it out on the race course.

How will Randy ever find me in the fog of war?

Calling all stations.
Calling all stations.

I want my throttleman!

Hmmm. Maybe I’ll have to do this alone. Let’s put that helmet on and strap in.

Wait, where are my notes from the Drivers Meeting.

How many laps? Looks like a 7 here.

And where are the duct tape stickers?

Oh my.

Green flag. Green flag. Green flag.

I’m done waiting for Randy. I’m going.

Oooooops.

Maybe I had her trimmed out too much. Where did all that water come from suddenly?

Ah, what the heck.

Piece of headliner.

Ocke, what were you thinking?

Randy was right: We need bigger turn markers.

About as big as a house.

Vroooooooommmmmm. Vroommmmmmm. Vrooommmmmmm.


Careful now. Don’t miss any turn buoys, or they’ll DQ you.

A flag?

Why are they waving those flags at me?

Ah, I see! (Barely.)

The race is over!

i raced the same boat in corpus last year and filled the cockpit with some water during testing. it gets a bit wet in the bat boats sometimes.

Hi, Steve, old buddy!

How did I do?

Tomlinson? Yeah, I’ll see him. What does he want from me?

Boyz & Gurlz: These shots would not have been possible without the incredible services of http://www.freezeframevideo.net

Call them before you make history.

Jeff just told me: "Next time, we'll mount the on-board outside of the cockpit."

Is Jeff trying to tell me something?

Bertel,
I have a plane ticket for St. Pete just in case you need a throttle man, just say the word.

Remember I collected two checkered flags this year in P4 with our bat out west (we only ran two races)!

Good Luck,
Rick

Come on over, RYoung!!! Hell, we never know. Call Chris, he might have another boat .....

Call me!

Bert - you're a walking poster child for Murphy's Law when it comes to racing........and you do it all with style and a smile! Thanks for the pictorial/editorial :)

Murphy was an optimist.

And your a f$ck$ng nut!!!!!!!! But a GOOD one.

And so are you! When racing handed ya lemons, ya just made some lemonade! I thought it was great!

At my age, Augie: Just a nut.

Nice Shots!
