2009 OPA/OSS St Clair River Classic!!

First I would like to say Thanks to Paul (Ratickle) for driving one hell of a couple races (Class #5 & svl) Your a much better driver than some people I have had in my boats over the years and with a little more time you will have this thing nailed! Sorry I got a little throttle happy on the back straight and BO

Next I would like to thank all the SVL Teams for allowing the bat boats to run with them. We ran 10/11mph under there speeds but had a blast running WFO. and I would like to try it again with a bigger rear wheel.

and Last, Dean.. thanks for letting me beat up your boat.

Thanks Rick, the driving coaching was great, too bad that Typhoon guy was in the way for Class 5........:)

Probably should have listened to you and run Tyler down:sifone:

Hey DD, that is going down a straight away! These guys ran thier balls off. Most importantly, they ran 3 races and finished every lap.

May be you should buy my Bat Boat and actually get some seat time with the motor running!

Have to agree the program for Harrison was great and should be an example for the future at the race sites. Got a copy in St Clair and loved the information and fun it contained. We even had a kid come up and ask Michael to sign his Harrison program by the picture of the boat...really cool!!! Doris
