Mark and Jim spun out and flipped at the Cambridge Md race last weekend in Tom Cat. Both were injured but should recover, and the boat is all tore up.

Thanks in advance!

Glen..closest marina is at Fairview Beach Va. I have never lanched their but their a different opinions about how good the ramp is. We use Goose Bay Marina. Its a 14 mile run one way to Fairview Beach down the Potomac. As far as the run its not from a standing start. You can get aleast 3/4 of a mile run at the gun maybe farther, also you can run as many times as you like. Hope this helps.

Susan thinks my boat is really fast.

James that is so wrong... funny, but Sharon and I are glad they are doing better. We heard everything from another boat hit them after they barrel rolled to they couldnt find the bodies, thats all in 10 Minutes after the accident. It seemed like an eternity waiting for news. James you joke, but I know you have been very active behind the scenes helping their recovery. Mark and Jim are lucky to have a friend like you around. Now lock that wheel chair down and let the drool fly, hope to see you guys at the Radar Run.

Randy may need a drool bib watching the worlds fastest 500 efi boat go past him, and Wayne may need the wheel chair to carry my nutz.

Yes I have been drinking......
