Guido... You're The Man...

What a thrill it was standing right there when John won the second heat and with it the national championship.... I think the yelling from the mass of region 10 folks when john landed at inspection could be heard back home....

Hi Dean, I think Bud won the Nationals in 1955. Bill Holloway won them in 1956 in Cambridge, Maryland. How do I know? I have heard the story for most of my life. Holloway had a 7th and a 1st for a first overall. My dad, Bob Wagner, had a 4th and a 2nd for a second overall. Do the math and you'll see my dad missed a title by two points. For some racers, there always seems to be one small mishap or detail that cost them the title. I had my hopes on seeing Miskerik take the CSH crown this year. Congratulations to John Peeters from Wagner Racing.

Well, my NW tour is at an end and I'm off to see the Blue Angels tommorow.
CSH & 20ss were pretty murky. Lots of jumpers, lane violations, etc.... Two of the faster guys did end up winning, so nice work on their part. (allthough I think John got a speeding ticket in 20- oh well, that's boatracing).

Organizers did a great job from start to finish, and the coolest part was the winners got to do a victory tour down the beach.

Big congrats to John. 1st in DSH. 4th in CSH & 20ss!!!!!! (now on their way to Pro Nats).

See ya at the 2010 Nationals!!!
