Thanks Bill for your support and profesional aspect of the whole project. From the Team meeting about the NC race to just the goodmorning. Thanks Mike for helping us with whatever we needed including the use of the 70 mph Whaler (I still want it) !!! Thanks Phil for the hours in the bilge and the quality work you did. And Bob Burlingham. Bob your hard work and dedication to this project was unbelivable. You are truly a master at what you do and a true friend above all.

If anyone has the chance to work wth these guys you will be amazed !!! Truely, they helped us out in any way they could from providing safety chase boats to safety glasses (Bill) to pizza to fuel to all the laughs and dissapointments.

Thanks Mercury Racing !!!! I cherrish the frienships we made with allowing us to work with truely such a proffesional group of people and I do consider you all my friends.

Thanks from Team Extreme F1-07 (Frank, Scott, Mike and myself).

And why are these guys happy ????

Cause we did this in less than five weeks, made friends, had laughs and made a million memories that we will never forget. !!!!!! Dave

Dave...I have to agree,

Bill has been putting up with me since Jan. With all of our schedule changes, questions, engines here and there, he was always there to help out on short notice and let me know what we needed to do.

I was lucky and had the pleasure working with Bob B. as Mark's Crew Cheif with the Activator...what a great guy...
I look forward to testing up at Mercury and working with these guys....
