We was set up!
Actually, we were all set up and ready to race. The boat was dialed in and felt great. We were cruising along behind the pace boat on our way to the course when we snapped an Imco drive shaft right in half. Since this was a new shaft with test time only we were somewhat, shall we say, Pissed!!!
We could see the rest of the boats forming their milling circle and all we could do was sit & watch. Over two hours tow back to the crane buy a local, (ya gotta love boaters). It was agonizing. I felt really bad for the Team owner, Bill Park. This was kind of a home town race for him. He had a lot of family there, all pumped up for a win.
Oh well. It looks like we have something to prove in Marathon. At least we're all fueled up and ready to go.

Sorry to hear what happened! Bummer!
We were at your boat at the dry pits on Friday...Your teammates(I think) mentioned you were at some sort of gm conferance. Anyway, sorry I missed you, was looking forward to meeting you!
