Alrighty now, There ya go !! Now I know what ta do.....

[AlanN]

Thanks guys but I will have to be absent for yet another race. Gonna miss a local gig and yours. Now how is that for a sucky turn of events.

Howard will be running at the Thunder in the Valley race in Seville that weekend.

I wanted to make it to one of your clug gigs all year but always got stymied on attending for one reason or another.

Grim, I would love to go over alot of the FE aspects with you. An email or pm is always welcome. There are quite a few items I would like to go over with you.

Mike B, I'm gonna have to hold you accountable to get these guys into OPC!

And my spec rigger is getting better all the time...look out next year!

The BEST driving I've ever done was done in LSO at the 2008 Nats with Doug Twaits, Jr. talking in my ear as my co-driver... He has nothing less than my full respect as a driver! He wins races because he's THAT good! Watching him and Brian going at it on the course is truely a site... I highly recommend it!

Jordan, I'm VERY jealous of the trophy, AND the "polo" style team shirt.
Douggie has one too and I feel unloved..

I agree on the Twaits deal. Dude has practiced like an olympic trainer, been doing it since he could crawl its only right that he dominates like so.

Coolest guy ever when he has time to help. He's taught me a LOT.

He's got skills what can I say. A person is better off watching and learning than scoffing. He told me a few things this time even, and I've been lucky enough to learn from Twaits Senior as well.. These guys are a class act and Douggie Fresh is a natural...

Just my 2c. Would I love to be in his shoes as far as wins? Heck yes! Am I pissed off at him for redeeming what he does? Not even close. Dude desserves what he gets.

You can always count on Doug finding the one wrong thing with the boat and telling you. I allways wake up in a fog and think Duh! How dum am I, I know that just was not thinking.

[Doby]

Any idea where next years will be???

[TRUCKPULL]

CA. I think.

Larry

[BILL OXIDEAN]

CA. I think.

Larry

Larry You were driving some fast boats!!
I had no idea you were that good of a racer.

[TRUCKPULL]

They may be fast, but I can not drive like Doug.

It is hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

We had a course up here where the drivers stand was 30ft. above the water.

Now on a course like that I can drive.

At my age, my depth preception is not that great. So when the drivers stand
is only 5 ft. above the water I have problems.

Larry

PS
Bill - I still want to know why a guy from CA. has a hooded parka with fur trim???

I'll buy you one to match Darin's, Wilmer, but you gotta get rid of your old radio :)

.......to get these guys into OPC!

There are already 4 of us that like the idea and two of us that have agreed to drop a class to do it so the chances are pretty good.

Steve, I wish you could have made it to this race. We had more fun than should be allowed by law. Thank you so much for the support.

Junior has made a lot of updates to his fleet. Some of the old faithfuls were gone. No micro bullet. The Twister rigger is gone. The rrr riggers are retired. He was more consistant this time around than I've seen him in ages. He had to be. There were a number of racers that made him work for every finish. Eddie wasn't the only victim to help Dougie throw something at the water.

Mike, you'll need a different way to give away AQ treats than LSH heat wins. You can't give ALL the prizes to me. Wouldn't be fair. haha ......ah bench racing.......life is goooood.
