Who all's going to Bakersfield this weekend? I'll be there driving Tom Farner's "Flat Bitchen" with my brother Rolf driving "License to Thrill" and the NJBA is going to let me go out and make a couple hot laps in Ken Bewick's "Miss California" Nostalgia 5 Litre Hydro. Should be fun!

Is he still 13 or is he now 14, meaner and tougher? Do we need security? LOL

We battled injector problems all weekend. The boat would stumble at the hit of the throttle and wouldn't clean out till well past the Tree. Even still, it ran a little over a hundred in the lights. Tom's going to take the whole rig up to Gorr to get it leaked and tuned. There's no question the thing should run in the 9's at 110 to 115. We'll take her back there before the year's out. My brother's boat(with a little tuneup and a prop we borrowed from Mr. Scarlotta and the Bling Bling crew) ran a best of 10.33 at 105.40. Not bad for a 28 yearold boat with a single carb! I also got a chance to drive that vintage hydroplane a couple times a day. They let me go out and hotlap for about 10 minutes each time. That was a great fun! But in the end, the thing I had the most fun doing was seeing some good friends, and to have both my brothers and sister, along with close friends and family at Lake Ming and just enjoy this sport we all love so much. If I get any good digital pictures, I'll throw'em up!
