No, but next season I will try to be there. When is Hoopa 2011? I have a new upcoming boat being designed,
#U355 "Psycho X" ... with a BIG turbine, built to run on 100% biodiesel (Go Green!), or nearly anything else we can dump into it, so in Mexico (WTF is their problem?!!), that might end up being Tequila, eh?
AFAIK, there are now 2 turbines from USA (U333 and U355), 3 from Canada (with up to 4 more on the way), plus 1 or 2 from New Zealand, maybe more? Finally the Unlimited class is taking a major leap ahead, and it should definitely help resurrect the popularity of the sport. I sure hope so!

Totally; the crate-motor classes are really cool. Besides the initial cost savings, I think the longevity will add even more to their value. Definitely will be fun!
