I'll never forget the day, several years ago, I was browsing these forums for any mention of my Dad, Mike Poppa. That is when I came across pictures of Stillcrazy that someone had posted. The pictures were so sad, as what was once a wonderous and amazing boat that my dad raced now sat alone and rotting in a storage yard. It broke my heart, but I knew there was nothing I could do about it. I knew she belonged back in my family, as she had already carved a place in our hearts. I emailed my cousin Jordan and brother Mike in disbelief that I'd found her, but still wished there was a way we could go rescue her.
Jump to November of 2010, I'd just had a precious baby girl and my brother, cousin and his wife were coming to meet her for the first time. It was then that they surprised me and told me they had bought Stillcrazy and were restoring her. I was shocked beyond belief and words still can't explain how I feel! This weekend I'll have the honor of flying down to Jacksonville to see Stillcrazy for the first time since I sat on her for pictures with my Dad.
I can't thank Jordan and Mike enough for all the blood, sweat and tears they've put into restoring Stillcrazy for the past 8 months, not to mention all the help and guidance they received along the way. I absolutely can't wait to arrive in Jacksonville tomorrow and once again sit in Stillcrazy for pictures with my family I love you Jordan and Mike!
