MomaPoppa, very well said.

Best of luck to all the Still Crazy crew. The boat looks awesome!

We raced P class back in the day & knew Mike, he was one of the good guys.

How did it run? What kind of speeds are you getting out of it now?

Here she is on Friday, 6/10. This was the first time she had been put in the water and the boys were seeing what she could do! They got her up to about 85, with 150 gallons of gas in her.

This is video from when we first took off. I took it with my phone, and was trying to hold on with one hand, but it gives you a taste of what it is like to ride in Stillcrazy!

CONGRATULATIONS!! And thanks for sharing!!
In the video you can sense the excitment-the same excitment of when Still Crazy raced!!! Hopefully you can "feel" why Mike and Dick loved this sport.
