WOW, and it goes on!.................... Mike Merola, I understand that you had a conversation with my brother and navigator Kevin today and you don't think we passed WILD CARD all day! Although in my eyes there would be NO SHAME if it were true and they did beat us fair and square as did John Cohen and his son in SuperBoat so I will tell you the deal, lap 3 turn 3, we just PASSED WILD CARD and are along side Superboat with Typhoon ahead of us.....the oceanliner gets launched and one of the kill switches comes off, everyone passes us...........we get the engines started and catch up to EVERYONE at the start/finish line of the last lap.....we PASS WILD CARD before turn 2.....typhoon already had electrical problems and was out and we passed SuperBoat on turn 3, we went for about 5-6 hundred feet went flying out of the water came down hard and the damn kill switch came off again.I'm sure if you contact Willie and Larry of Wild Card and John and Jr. Cohen of SuperBoat they will varify for you but it doesn't matter. We ALL had a great HARD day with FRIENDS and my hats off to all the crews that made it to Pt.Pleasant, as I said in other posts............Typhoon,Wild Card and SuperBoat are all nuts, great people and great racers and Sportsman.....Thanks Guy's.................Any Questions MIKE!!!!!!!!
