Here is me applying for a job at Powerboat Magazine. The request was denied by publisher Victoria Newton.

As a matter of fact, she denied all my requests.

Because of a separate engagement, the actual race was not covered by this here reporter.

OSO Steve, temporarily boatless, promised to deploy his 3ft lens and post a monstrous amount of pictures.

Steve?

While on the topic of lids:

Speaking on deep background, Will of Wild Card confirmed that the team had bought from Will Smith the Phantom that had been for sale for quite some while.

All this baby needs is an engine and a drive, which the Wild Card team will fit in about 30 seconds.

With a roof over their heads, the Wild Maniacs will be unfrikkenbeatable.

Phantom and Wild Card: Where there's a Will, there's a way!

Pictures of the race are in the photos section
