Thumbs up Thanks Guys

Well I have been in the bilge since we got home. I would like to thank everybody, but I don't know where to start. First I would like to thank Jeff Cropper, Eric, Lou, Pat, Danny, Don, Ed Simmons, Gene, Lee, Walter, Richie Zul, Strickly Bussiness, Enforcer, Simmons Racing, Hot Licks, JC Performance, Car Quest, St. Clair Fire Department, The crain operator, and any one else I might of forgot. You guys are true Gentalmen and I am proud to know you and to race in a league of true sportsmen. This is what OPA is all about, racing each other and turning wrench's together and just being freinds. You guys saved me and my team alot of money doing what you did, thank you. We will be ready for Long Island, see you there. Bill P.S. and to win the race, ****ing Crazy.

Bill,
You deserve alot of credit too;I cant imagine what it felt like to see your beautiful boat under water.Most people would have just thrown in the towel.It was great to see so many teams turning wrenches to get your boat back together so that you could make the race.Everyone was happy to see your perserverance rewarded with a first place finish.Looking forward to seeing you in LI.

Mark

Hey Bill,
The trip started off rough for us too, Rig Breaking down along with a host off other calamities, though none quite as tragic as seeing your boat overturned. Sometimes a bad start can turn to a great finish. Now only if the rest of the World could have the Spirit of the OPA, it would definatly be a better place. Seeing all the teams together at the Races brightens up my life. See you guys in Patchogue, Louie
