That is an awesome classic. I wouldn't change a thing - congratulations on a super job!

That was and always will be the baddest jet ever.

Another favorite of mine, which goes back a little further, was the B-58 Hustler. delta wing, 4 giant-ass engines slung out forward, and a huge...

This is pretty funny. Thing is -- there are some people out there who mihgt actually fall for this....:biggrinjester:

Don't worry - as long as there are quality folks out there like you helping to lead the way, we'll always have offshore racing.

:D

This has been a very good read and a smart, civil discourse on racing, so far. Thanks for all who have posted.

I've heard a lot of people say that racing needs to be "close to shore" so people can...

A great story, that's for sure. Happy to hear that you had such a good time!

Sounds tasty - now all you need is one of these outboard motor margarita makers to complete the party...

Just posted a story about the Italian site Altomareblu - the main focus seems to be on the work of boat designer Renato "Sonny" Levi - though there are a lot of neat "old school" stories about racing...

You should hear mine - and all I have to do is just get on plane and I start hearing it... :D

I'm sure that's why their runs rate so high on people's lists in terms of "must do" -- I will defintely be looking to head out there next year, after my financials shape up. This summer not being so...

They say patience is a virtue - and my copy did show up in the mail today. It's a great magazine - as expected, and I'm thankful that Ned saw fit to make this offer.

I might find that confusing...:biggrinjester: Would I have to attend all of them?

This is a great thread. Actually, I like Chris' idea about a Buddy System.

Thanks for the updates guys - the photos and info are great.

I did like the Vette pulling that Bat Boat ... a nice matched set.

I keep seeing the promos for this Sunday's episode of "Pawn Stars" the new reality series on The History Channel. Some guy is trying to pawn his '84 Chris Craft - Stinger or Scorpion (I didn't get a...

Didn't make sense to me at first either. Salt will melt some of the ice, but once added, the ice melts SLOWER than it would if you didn't add salt. Adding salt to the ice/water mix causes a...

According to the guys who built these - the model that runs water lines through ice and then through a "radiator" with fans blowing through it lasts longer and is more efficient. The simpler "fan in...
