Congratulations to all.Wishin that I was there and I haven't even started racing yet.

BTW: Mr. Carnage... best wreck: Howard Tucker I think I won that last year with the same boat. Peterson had just as much damage but his was because of shipping not racing!
Had a great time as usual. Thanks Dave and the rest of the Guys.

Highlights For Me. 2nd in P spec Mono. I wish I could beat Doug but I will take 2nd to one of the best.
P spec offshore (LSO) Placing 3rd. It took 6 consistent rounds to just to place 3rd.

Stupid things this weekend or Bad decisions. Racing for 1st in my last LSH heat and blowing off. If I would have placed 2nd I would have placed 2nd over-all with a points tie with
Newland but he would have won the tie breaker. Being to aggressive i and trying to run the buoys tight in P-spec-hydro and wrecking my boat for the 3rd year in a row. (Same Boat BTW).

I also do not recommend the Motel 6. Cheap but a bit scary. Treated myself to a first class seat home with the Money saved though. Not all bad.

Reinvigorated my FE addiction. Thanks again.

OMG...Peterson's visor is on the right way!

[LuckyDuc]

Was that Robert Holland? Did he run a FE boat with you guys?

Video #1: P-Offshore from Friday---- I was shooting video with a new Canon Vixia HD camcorder and the camera was picking up a portion of the Lens hood at times. Sorry guys for the black in the corners at times. I finally got it fixed on Sunday. LOL I am uploading the videos now and here is the first one:

[stonerracing]

Yes, that is Robert Holland. He was down in AZ thawing out from the cold of Colorado. He didn't have any of his fast electric stuff built yet or he would have been racing..

[Darin Jordan]

Nice mix of boats at this event. Looks like someone ran an Impulse 31 as well? How'd it do??

[D. Newland]

I'll post some good info soon once I get caught up at the office. But, this video was sitting in my in box today, and it's bad-ass, if I do say so myself. And yes, I'm a little partial. Hat's off to Dick, BTW, who raced his Insane Mono, complete with a 1527 .5Y very well all weekend.

Damn Newland! You are surgical with that thing.
