Shadow Cliffs
Here they are (I've seen you Region 10 folks lurking all day) - 4 albums of restaurant quality photos from the last dance on the West Coast. Dan should have banner material for the rest of the winter. 
Two days of sun and fun at Pleasanton CA. Awesome job both days by the Region 11 folks getting the racing in. There was the ASH drama, Crackerboxes, full fields in OSY and 20ss, fast s*** in DMH and FEH. Great racing, great BBQ, great people.

Go to the third album (Saturday/Sunday) - photos sh0146-sh0154. After a decisive win in Heat 1 of ASH, J Michael Kelly was was coming up fast in Heat 2 on the third leg of the triangle course when the boat spun. He came out, holding on by the throttle, and pulled himself back on. I thought he was done. Then he uses the whole front chute to get back on plane - it's like the boat is full of water. He's doing a pommel horse routine - and it gets back on plane. Why is this worth a hundred words of babbling? Because the right rear section of the boat is shredded - the transom and four frames busted, upper and lower chines, holes in the deck (try NO deck) and bottom (split along the cockpit). The tie down rope was holding the **** thing together. Well, he got got on plane and rode the **** thing side saddle for over 2 laps and finished the heat. And yes, that's the Kaiser's 35R Fralick - survived the damage at Scootney, the wreck at PRO Nationals, getting tossed from the pickup in the rollover, a dump on Saturday, and had enough left for two more laps.
Enjoy.
