      Doug has spent some serious time makin sure these boats are EXACTLY identical. When you have the best boat drivers in north america doin an IROC race, you better have your *!***!***!***!** together.

      THANKS DOUG!

        Ray, enjoy the race and let me know when I can un-cross everything.
        Thanks for taking care of the boats pitside.
        And yeah, I'm pretty ugly but I've seen worse.

        Thanks for the cudos line 6.

                Thanks Steven, and thanks again for your help with this project.
                Everyone I have talked to had a blast and Chris did his usual good job as the CD.


                Phil added some video bits to the bottom of the page.

                    Hi Andy,
                    Chris H. Posted this on RRR.

                    " I thoroughly enjoyed hanging with all the guys. It was good to meet Mark and Eric and to see the other guys again, many of which I haven't seen in years.

                    A big thanks to everyone who helped Ron and I put this race together and all the sponsors for their generous support. I know it has already been said but Steve Rogers of Flight Power worked his tail off and went above a beyond. Also special thanks to Phil Pace of Vac-u-Boat for the great hulls and all the help and AWESOME pics he took. You can see a preview here http://www.vac-u-boat.com/IROC_Shootout_2008.htm

                    The result were as follows:
                    1st Mark Anderson
                    2nd Jerry Crowther
                    3rd Doug Twaits Jr.
                    4th Dick Crowe
                    5th Steve Reesor
                    6th Eric Bourlet

                    All drove hard and the racing had to be seen to be appreciated. It was nuts!!!

                    The main sponsors are all receiving one of the boats from the race. The one each gets was decided by a drawing.

                    Flight Power/ blue
                    Vac-u-Boat/ red
                    Fuller's Fast Electrics/ mocha
                    Neu Motors/ white
                    Castle/ Green "

                      Thanks. I don't go there any more, but I appreciate the info. Ron asked me who I thought would win and I said Mark or Dick. I least I got it half right
