What do you feed Grich? he is a machine!
Reply With QuoteWell, we could blame the WIND on Ross, but even that was out of his control. He tried to get the finals in, but ol' Mother Nature always gets the last say......I think the correct decision was made to call the race. Especially after the river created a D'Cucci open bow jet boat. I can imagine the busted up flatties, that are considerably "lighter", if they tried to run in that stuff. I thought about Steve all the way home, but he's a tough old cracker racer and I'm hoping for a full recovery and a return to the boats he loves so much. Oh, and thanks to Pat for taking the majority of the "racing grimlins" rath. His 711 boat is right on the edge of success, but we all know how sharp that edge can be. Tony and Crieg, we missed you, but Dennis did a good job in your absence, the "Cone" looked good, as usual. Shane Hall got his first PS heat victory, and I think it was with the little motor!! The PS 929 is a force to be reconded with, for sure....And I gotta mention Dale Hernandez Jr., it takes alot of "moxie" to come out from Minnesota, 3 times now, to race with the west coast guys. He is now headed north to Oregon to run a couple of races up there with a stop off at the Allerton's in Castro Valley, and he said something about a "girl" he met in Bakersfield, (I warned him about Bakersfield girls), along the way......The Rankin team was, well, the Rankin team, thats all that needs to be said. Ron Hill brough us a prop to test, but we never had the conditions we wanted to test it, maybe we'll rent Rankin Lake and be able to get some "homework" done before Long Beach.......Alright racers, 2 months to Burley and you can never start early enough to prepare for that one......Maybe see you there??..............My thoughts remain with Steve, any up dates would be apprieciated...........Ray
