    Only three days left, and no smack talk on here.

    All you racers must be getting soft or scared?

    Larry,
    Just want to remind you that here in the states, we race an oval course. Not a rectangular course! Just wanted to remind you, so that you don't run over any p-sports that are passing you on the inside lane.

    That's the spirit.

    Todd doesn't worry about that Larry because he's never actually passing anyone.

    Terry,
    You are absolutely right. I just wait for you guys to crash, and cruise on by.

    I thought it was a Triangle?
    They have to catch me first to pass me.
    The only ones on my inside are the ones that I am lapping.

    Bums me out that you won't be here Doug. We had fun with you and Don both last year. Good racing. Lots of laughs.

    Larry,
    You can't lap someone on the start.

    Posted several stories to Facebook and trying to get the word out. Hopefully something turns up over the next couple days, but if not... Ken should be provided a specific thread to show us all any photos and/or info on his boats so we can all keep a look out across the country.

    So bummed out for Ken and his family. We all know how much work goes into these boats and this is just heart breaking for our entire household to hear this story. We Michiganders will do everything we can to spread the word locally and hopefully get some resolve.
    Have fun with that....

    Finding boats to run has been easy. Him having any interest in racing them is tougher. Ken can run my entire fleet if he wants to.

    We're going to focus on getting Fede out there for his heats. Both my son and the Paganelli girls volunteered their boats. Tom went home last night to rebuild a Pursuit for him since that's what he's used to.

    Ken may run any of my boats as well, if he wishes. I'll bring my p -mono and p -limited hydro for Fede to run.
    Cheers, Jay.

    My stomach is turning just thinking about this. I can't imagine how Ken feels. You have to wonder if somebody knew all that stuff was in the trailer, or if it was just a random act. We FE boaters are a fairly small community and I'm sure we can recognize this stuff if it pops up somewhere.

    That is just infuriating to me to hear that some (explative) made off with his stuff. Watch ebay and local pawn shops, CraigsList. We need pics of the boats that were stolen.

    OMG !!! So sorry to here that. I sure hope the SOB is caught. A good old behind the barn a** kick is in order. I wander if he had any insurance coverage to help recover some of the cost. I shudder to think the amount of money he has tied up in that trailer. With some pictures I will sure keep an eye out.
