Thank you from Brian and Wilma
Sorry for the slow post, things have been a little hectic. Wilma and I would like to thank our Team and everyone that came to their assistance to deal with our boat following our testing accident in St. Clair last weekend, your help was greatly appreciated!
Once we got back to the crane and were convinced that there were lots of people to look after the boat, it was great to see so many familiar faces on the dock from the Stars and OSS Rescue Teams working alongside and with the OPA Rescue Staff, Local Fire Dept. and Local EMS to tend to our cuts and bruises - your care, concern and extra effort was unbelievable and will not be forgotten.
Thankfully, all of our safety gear worked as it was designed to in a pretty hard crash and we are fine. We have started to unrig the engine compartments and the boat will be going to MTI for repairs in the very near future.
Finally, we would like to thank all the Race Fans that stopped by to say hello and pass on their best wishes - it was overwhelming.
Once again, thanks to everyone and we will see you at a race in the very near future!

Hi Brian and Wilma,
Most importantly you two are ok...
Scared the hell out of me when I didn't see a hatch open, but I knew you were in good enough shape that you kept the boat idling in a straight line heading back to the crane.
I stopped by your pit area to get an update on your condition and your crew said that you would be interested in seeing the pictures I have.
You can find all of my photos of the event right here:

The link you are under is right above the Awards Ceremony Photos.
Boats can be replaced, people can't.
Get well soon...
