It is sounds as if the Grasshopper has been in conference with the Master...which only makes things more interesting. As you know, the glass guy is not the only thing we have in common. There are many common threads that make up the mosaic.

Each have our strengths...and weaknesses; it will be very interesting to see how things work out. Personally, I would say it's even money....except for the things I know, you don't.

You are correct about domination, it will not be a factor, unless someone not seen before tries to comes in and screw with the system. I doubt that will happen, too many eyes are watching that would not let that continue.

I suspect that by the time we get to Sarasota, we will see many more decide they want to be a part of the program. I am looking forward to competing against some old friends and rivals. As for racing against the Puff boat, it will make no difference if we are going for the checkered flag or who will last and next to last....it is all the same.

It will be a good year...for everybody.

Just so you know....After Maimi.....we will be leaving some of the boats down south to get a tan.....and go at it again in Ft. Lauderdale....so make plans to be seeing Puff and a few other animals in your neck of the woods......so please welcome us with open arms....

and work on your boys down there to come out and play....

After Miami..you may need something for the burn.

Superficial wounds though...you should be recovered enough by Ft. Lauderdale. Early morning races mean early morning driver's meetings and the sun isn't too high in the sky at race time....watch out for the mist..and those guys on the Navy ships manning those 50 cal. machine guns.

Since we know the territory...it might be best if you guys just follow us around(again)...wouldn't want anyone to go home with a boat looking like swiss cheese.

Looking forward to seeing everyone...seems so far away doesn't it?

It seemed like it was a long way off till I looked at our schedule......there is not enough time in the days....I have to have all the changes done by almost mid Jan....and then start with apperances at boats shows.....

So Puff as a long year ahead of him.....

This is a perfect class to get those boats out there that are up for sale....and show people there worth every bit of what your asking for them.....

I agree...exposure to the market is essential. what better way to show what you've got than to actually put it in a race.

Every one of the boats for sales is capable of winning in this Class. They just may be the spoiler...who knows.

Do you think it might be too confusing for the score keepers to have more than one boat on the racecourse named "FOR SALE"?

Nope.....just name them, Team For Sale Racing #1...2....3 and so on.....You would think they would want to get there boats out into the spotlight so people could see them...

Its amazing what racing Puff for one year has done to what people are wanting to pay me for him.....compaired to last year even when it had less hours on it.....

and now with the new look....which is being paid for with last years prise money....its a win...win....

Dust them off....and lets see what they can do....

Hey BEE..........I seen a pic of the Fury SV at Ryans New Years day run last week......So is he getting the boat warmed up for a little battle with us....or are you guys still in hiding down there.....

its been awlfull quite over here in this camp.....

Actually...I've been on the same latitude as you...cold enough for you?

I'm guessing Fury is all back together now and the bilge is clean enough to eat off the stringers. I haven't heard where the it's next race will be or who it will be against. Like the rest of us....Fury needs a place to call home, and it sure isn't today's Super V.

How's Puff doing with the diet?

Happy New Year everyone, it's going to be a great one!

Fury has two fresh drives and is running strong! Lap speeds are what count in SV and with more recent mods, I think she is still in the hunt.

The boat is for sale in the classifieds as I am moving up to Cat lite.

See you all at the races!

Ray.

Hey Bee

I paid a visit to Puff over X-MAS.....the Hospital was closed but I looked at her threw the fence....part of her tail was removed were the lypo-suction is taking place and I did not see the inside were her belly is getting some staples were the new gauges are going in with the new entertainment system...I got the new rear fins to be ship down....

The Coast Guard is changing the name of there boating safety program.....so Puff will have a new name on her this year....she was supposta make her 1st apperance next week at the Richmond Boat Show....but we have put that off so Puff can be finish and have a whole new look when she makes her new debut.....

Also....in the works is a new Manufacture to be the Official tow vehicle for us......been working on this one for over 6 months.....

So get all your boys ready for Miami.....

Ray...good to hear she running strong....and congrat on the move to SCL...but remember....we welcome you and will do anything we can if you want to come out and battle with us till she sells..... I now have people calling me asking if I will still sell the Dragon after last year showing....so its a great place to show your boat....
Hope we see ya soon....
