Sorry to hear about your misfortunes. It sound like you were not the only one. I hope that Alicia Peterson is not discouraged. I don't know the cir***stances of her accident but it is not the way anyone wants to get started.

Yes, got the bottom fixed and the boat ran pretty decent for the first time. Unfortunately, I hit a wave a little wrong and stuffed it in my second heat of CSH. Not fun. So, as Jimi O's son Gino put it......." it needs a little 'repoxy'", and it will be good as new.

get well soon Sean..........SO......we can get you into a CSR.............not much chance of stuffing them!!! In good news though.............ALL of Team Byrne's hydros kicked AZZ!!! That blue Altralite is THE force to be reconed with in OSY this year!! Gonna be tough to beat that 70MPH blue devil! Just keep it out of CMH!!

4 blades rock!

A great weekend and a big thanks to JW Meyers for putting the race together.

FYI .... Joe's 72N update : your boat had it first OSY race here in region 10. It ran well and handled seemingly great. Safety was action item #1 for its first race and we worked on tracking and turns. One more weekend of safety checks then R&D goes to adding 2 mph. Thanks again.

Looking Forward to Mike's pics.

adding 2MPH???? I am sure glad I am too fat to race OSY!

I can't believe we forgot to put lead in our boats

Discouraged? NEVER! I'm ready to get out there today! Okay, maybe not yet, I can't exactly turn my head to the left ... but as soon as I can... I'm there!

Or a legal motor on the boat, either????

Pat, how did your boat feel this weekend? I wanted to ask, but got too busy at the lake

[drbyrne55]

hmmm .... I guess I over looked that too. Luckily we'll have our third 302 powerhead back soon. Sounds like that 202 only has a home in OSY?

I am glad to hear it. My first race is coming up and I am excited and I am sure I will have a big smile like you did when the time comes. 15 days and counting

15 days is the 21st, you going to newberg? Its a great race, you should.

Hopefully ill have my asr fixed by then, reck on saturday in the first turn and dashboard busting out on the first lap on sunday. Seems like i couldnt make it a lap with out something bad happening..lol.. btw dont recommend driving with the dashboard not attached to the boat, probably not the safest thing...lol

I would love to but it is a bit far. We will be going to Elk River in Idaho for the SLORA race. We could have one slight problem. The area around here is starting to flood from all of the run off and they may have to close our bridge which means we could be stranded for a couple weeks. This would really suck.

So the thought of pulling off the course when you couldn't steer never entered your mind??

Yeah, should have pics up by morning. It'll go faster now now that Sheryl reminded me I had my head up my *** on divisionals

Got one video that came out decent, another one passable. I can't shoot anything from a tripod. The decent video was freehand (I pretty much pulled it out of the box, put a disk in and started recording the heat; now when I RTFM...), and is fine until I get too aggressive with zooming. I'll hopefully have that ready in a day or two (still figuring that stuff out), and you'll see it here first.

What're we gonna do with those Bryne boys - Testing 20ss in OSY and OSY in CMH (or is that 500MH?)

No worries about Alicia - though her face has to be getting sore from that big grin on her face.

Hannon - have the old man put the tiller back on for you

Hey don't forget John Erickson's race in Kitsap in a couple of weeks.

Hey, I would have made the same mistake had I not had a kid running. The whole day Sunday got very confusing with the divisionals from Sat and the Sunday Div...plus the 8,000 heats of J and AX that were run. lol My point on this was that Shane did an excellent job, divisional win or not!! It was awesome to see him put that boat in there and beat Ashley that last heat keeping us all on our toes!
