Augie said this was one of the toughest and roughest races of his career. He's got a new found respect for the Great Lakes.

Congrats to all on another safe race.

Saw the hard stuff by Wahoo ... broke out the windshield and tore away part of the canopy. Both OK without serious injury. No pics, but there should be some floating around.

What happened to CatCanDo?

Re: Mentor Reports
 

just got in from Mentor. we had a great time (except for stuff'in the boat :D ) the water was a bit on the evil side out on the lake today. first off i would like to thank everyone at the race for their concern to see that we were OK. everyone made it a point to ask how were doing after they saw the boat and found out what happened. everyone had their hands full out there in something we here on Erie call "washing machine chop" :D . competition was fierce with all of us work'in over time to find a rhythm and find a clean line. we were all running pretty hard and coming down the front straight on the last lap on the run for the flag (not sure what place we were in) we caught a rouge wave that tripped us hard at about 70 and nosed in. front/sides of canopy suffered significant damage as well as the top. it happened so fast and so hard i blacked out for a few seconds. came to with my hand going for my air because we had a cockpit full of water. after a few seconds i got breath back and Dean and I started to get our wits about us and we saw that a large part of the canopy was gone including both front screens and sides. after discovering that we were both pretty much OK we got the boat started and headed to the first yellow flag that was at the start finish line and we were able to eek out a 3rd place finish. we are sore but OK. we actually got out of the crashed Armada (this was not a Reindl) batboat and got into the Race Frenzy P-2 14 AMT cat for another 8 laps :eek: . . . . . Dean, you need to double my salary :D :p . . . . being our first time racing the cat we did what we could to run with the P-2 guys and they showed us the stuff. great race guys and we learned alot, looking forward to next time.


once again Team WahooATV would like to thank the race staff, safety and support crews, all the racers and all involved for thier professionalisim and concern. this is why we race and OPA is the best. thanks guys for another great race


oh . . . and thanks for the prayer Kieth. i think thats what let us walk away :D

heres a few pics . . . luckey we have a glassman on staff full time :drink:
