For now it looks like the weather will be dry. Let's hope the wind gods smile on us as well. Scroll down to see Cheboygan weather. http://www.wunderground.com/US/MI/Indian_River.html

Blow wind gods....blow!!

I was just watching some video taken off DeVo beach in 88 when it was survival conditions. I don't think even Mighty Nick wants THAT! At least I hope not.

Rest assured that Mullet will be bumpy from Dodge Point to the Cheboygan River. And if that WSW wind stays for Sunday......I'll be happy I'm watchin' from the beach>>> Just my thoughts

Nick does NOT want it very rough.....just a cute little chop to help the old scow lift her nose a bit!!

A rare never before seen photo of Nick's test sesson. This is his idea of "cute little chop"...

Top O' waves!

Okay Pearson, that's two weeks in a row that you've forced beer out of both my nostrils. I just can't help it, your acounts of the marathon happenings are causing me much joy! Keep up the good work.
We've been testing as much as we're allowed. And we are digging it. You would be proud to see your cousin Dustin handling that C runabout. We may have a contendor!(?)
Man is it great to be running this thing, or trying anyhow. Made a trip up the crooked river today. As I returned to Burt, things had turned a litle snotty. As I was on a SEA-DOO, I was able to control my martini as I crested the wakes. Hope you can afford a visit to KampKurz this weekend!

haha… I’m here to amuse.

I know, my dad says you guys have been out a lot these past couple weeks. In fact, he told Dustin to take it easy cause he going to burn my Yamato up… haha.. I’m glad to hear he’s doing well in it. I just hope he doesn’t let it get to his head. It’s a totally different atmosphere in a race… and it being Top O only adds to the level of difficulty. The biggest thing you guys have to remember (which took me waaaay to long to learn) was to stay consistent, patient and pick and choose your opportunities to make a move. (Matt Ladd taught me this the hard way) Sometimes your adrenalin can take over and before you know it, you’re on your head. Remember to drive hard but stay level headed, be patient, remain consistent and let the opportunities present themselves.

Good Luck you guys! It should be a fun year!!!

[topomichracer140m]

Good answer Josh...I hope all of our new guys have alot of fun.....I also think that this year will be fun for everyone...See you guys in a few hours....Nick.

[kurvtun]
