Just went through the budget and I'm screwed for this year, it's amazing to me how much we have spent on medical crap this year, and with the better half going through school and not working, lets just say I wont be racing anything this year.

Ironically, I made the same amount of money as last year and have nothing to show for the effort but a bunch of grey hair...

Only eight boats made the start of the races in Idaho this weekend, 10 were actually signed up and made to Riggins, but one had engine problems and one crashed out in practice on Friday. :mad:

There have been several races cancelled already and there is still snow in the mountains.....Gonna be a long quiet summer...I guess I'll see you fockers at the circle races......... ;D

LOL, A few things to bear in mind...These hulls have 6" plus deep tunnels in them, are made of aluminum and the water is moving at approx. 8-10 MPH, these boats take rough water really well and they still get several feet off the water...I have driven an 18' Renegade with a BBC accross lake Shasta during a storm with 45+MPH winds, I had to get out of the throttle every few seconds just to keep the pump loaded at 30 MPH, one of these boats could do the same at over 100MPH without lifting :screwy:
