To A Great Competitor...
......here's looking forward to meeting in the first turn once more. I always have considered it a pleasure knowing you and a privilege to race against you. Hopefully us old guys still have a few tricks up our sleeves for the young pups.

Funny Fred Story
I have know Fred and Family for many years....and have a lot of fun racing against both his son Dan and Fred himself in D stock hydro. When I found out last year at Grass Lake that Fred would be driving the D rig...I thought...no problem! I can make Fred eat my lunch in D! Boy was I wrong. Sneaky old Fred somehow slipped inside of me on the start...and I thought....no problem! I am maybe 1/2 mile an hour faster the Fred...I can drive my azz off and get around him...WRONG AGAIN! Sneaky old Fred knew I was on his outside...and every lap he pushed me a little farther out and a little farther out...pretty soon I was running in the dang reeds on the backstretch. And on the last lap, when he KNEW I was going to cut inside him...sneaky Fred dove for the apex bouy..keeping me on his outside. I ALMOST caught sneaky Fred at the finish line....my boat and I were covered in reeds (thanx Fred) and I was laughing so hard when I came into inspection people thought I was nuts. After I pulled all of the reeds out of my helmet and life jacket and stuff I went over and told sneaky old Fred that was the most fun I have ever had at nationals racing. Happy bday Fred....
