Sounds like another really sweet Pace Boat for the races. Was great to see all your paceboats in St. Clair and Harrison:).



Even if we didn't win.....:(

We had a great summer being involved with both Michigan OPA races! We are looking forward to have more involvement in the race series in 2010.

Our new Ilmor F4 will look great bringing the field to the green flag!

Where else do you think:seeya:
I have a couple of people interested and Magic and I are working out some of the details. I looked the boat over when I was out there for the Michigan City races and I have to tell you the boat it real clean. He's had plenty of time lately to keep it right.

That's for sure! You won't find a more dedicated group of individuals in the industry.

You also won't find a more dedicated employer to work for in the industry as well. Which makes it easier to go that extra mile for them.

IMHO

Why is part of the deck red? Shouldn't it be all white gel?

chris sunsation
10-02-2009, 02:50 PM
Good Question...

We wanted the entire cockpit to be red on the boat so we shoot that with red. The red you are seeing on the outside will be covered by the graphic that Mitcher-T paints on the boat.

Thanks for looking
