Thanks Chris for the invitation, I'ts a first for me to be invited ever to a Seattle party! Two years ago in Chelan Wa. I went solo to enjoy one more SS race in the SS83 Lavey and was given royal treatment from the apba racers. My only goal was filling in the field in the event someone broke AND get more seat time. Jeff Gibson, came through with a spare kill switch (I always have electrical problems at their races) and others in the class helped me launch. Formitable veteran Doug Jancura had his newer Jones there and it would be my last conversations with one of the GREATS! Thank you all for the hospitality! It was a big thrill for me to be IN that SS field and an experience all of our Nostalgia racers should have! Myself and the boat were lost on their big sweeping corners but I felt real welcome even with the oldest-slowest boat there. It was great fun and probably the last this old guy will drive that fast.
I racked my brain for someone actually READY to go THIS weekend and came up empty in both! jErKizoyd
