Thanks to all who attended. It was a lot of work, but it certainly paid off, hopefully by building new racers and fans. Look for new faces on the board as we gave the webiste to many of the participants.

This event was a Blast!

Just about every reaction you can think of from people who had never seen an offshore race boat...let alone ridden in one. My favorite was the guy who "hooted" every time we bumped over another boat's wake.

A special thanks to everyone who worked the dock and helped make things happen so smoothly. Over 125 rides and no one scratch on the boat. Great work!

I needed some seat time in the new boat. I think I have the left turns down now. The way I calculate it...125 rides X 3 laps each X 6 turns per lap....thats 2,250 - left turns!

Wow!!

Ken,

What was the fastest speed you would hit with the "new fans"?

Most of the time I kept the GPS turned off...riders where watching the instruments more than enjoying the ride. When all the monitors and screens where lit up and blinking. They kept asking, "what's this?".

The underwater camera that looks back at the drives was probably the most fun.

"What's this?"

"Gator Cam....helps me watch for big Florida gators"

"They've got gators in this lake?"

I would just smile and make another hard left.

It was a blast we need to do that more often. I think the more people that know more about what we do the more fans we will have coming to the races. It was some of the best PR work I have ever seen. My hat of to Chris and his staff they did a get job. We did so many laps I was getting dizzy,but the crew on the docks were always there and ready...thanks guys couldnt of done it with out all of you.
