Dan Proulx and Doug Peterson and Howard Tucker making the FE racing scene happen: Priceless!

These 3 guys are flying out for the Az WW VIII this weekend and this is a photo of Dan and Doug's gear. Howard's was just as impressive, just no photo. He built a huge wooden crate that could fit me and him in it...with a few limbs cut off and stuffed in the corners. The Cordova's, Heller, Scarpino, Greenlee and Feeback are on the road right now with their vehicles packed to the roof with the stuff we love! Their dedication is not only impressive, it's appreciated.

Course is in, drivers stand is erected...stay tuned!

That's awesome! Have FUN, guys!

its was good to see some of the old guys from back in my day. With some luck I might put some boats in the water again before the next AZ race in 2013.

Hey Brooks, watch it with the old guy comments ( even if it is true) or I am going to put the video of your zillion cell out of control mono at the Cleveland pond up here.
Good to hear from you again, get something running Lipo's have really improved the breed.

[brooks93]

Jim would that be one of those black and white silent films? My boats where not fast. Howard and Alan's were just slow

[photohoward1]

Hey a B&W silent film just won the OSCAR for Best film. They are making a come back!

[brooks93]

LOL Howard. True but its not as impressive as the new stuff.

[T.S.Davis]

Did you guys make Peterson drag a buoy around the pond to keep it fair? We tried that here and he was still pulling away from the field.

LMAO! That was probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen at a boat race.

[T.S.Davis]

Make sure Doug does all his testing with an anchor attached for the next time you guys make it over here.

[brooks93]

see I might have to Doug tie my boat to his so I can compete again.

Dave not sure who had my old titan 40 but here is a pic of the first race it was in 7 or 8 years ago. I was shocked to see it still racing.
