Sarasota Catamaran Fragmentation

 Sometimes in racing an occurrence happens that will stick with you for a long time, and probably live on in infamy long after you're gone. This past Sunday at the P1 Sarasota Grand Prix we are pretty sure we witnessed such an event. Coming down the front straight on the first lap the new, (not one race completed yet), Doug Wright CMR Super Stock boat took a high flyer and stuffed. When the...

WMO's Gold Coast Summer Blast 2021

 Sometimes the stars don’t line up exactly as planned, (Of Mice and Men?), but even then, when you are working on a Gold Coast Summer Blast weekend, the weekend can still glitter and shine. When a late notice of a wedding caused the unfortunate cancellation of the Friday evening dinner run, many were bummed. But the weather and water were dang near perfect for the Saturday run, (for everything...

Tracy "Wrinkleface" Nemecek, RIP Bud

 Lost one of my best friends Sunday, someone whom many of you also knew as a good friend. Tracy "Wrinkleface" Nemecek passed away Sunday afternoon after a few days in the hospital. He had fallen and hit his head hard. It caused internal hemorrhaging, which they could not correct in time. I had just spoken with him a couple days before the accident. I am sure gonna miss the crazy guy, as many of...

2023 Joey Gratton Memorial Run

 Attending a memorial run is always a cause for mixed emotions. On one hand, a time for remembrance of a friend, competitor, or acquaintance. On the other hand, a time to honor a special person by doing something they loved doing, and would enjoy participating in themselves. Joey's boys running with Matt Rice 2011, when we lost Joey, seems like so...

Simmons Marine St Clair, Illegal U-Turn?

 In St Clair Michigan, at the 29th running of the St Clair River Classic by OPA, Jim Simmons and Jason Zolecki in Simmons Marine, were running hard in second place, were trying to get past the first place boat Crazy Rythm. The race was one of the best of the day, however, on lap 6 we believe, Simmons Marine decided to try a hard cut to the inside to try a pass. (One shot out of sequence...

The Clash of the Titans Saga, no Kracken???

 Greek mythology is always a bit confusing. The 12 Titans were thrown into exile by their son Zeus, but did some escape for a day? How does one differentiate between Oceanus, Titan God of the Sea & Water, versus Tethys, the Titan Goddess of Fresh Water? Is it possible all 12 escaped to manifest themselves in a display of offshore performance this past Sunday? Did the rumored 13th Titan, Dione,...
