When you feel hot water, that's the time to back off a little............Quote by Wild Bill Holloway

[Racerkyle20]

When I was a kid Jeff Kelly had this CMH lay down with a smokin' hot poster of Shania Twain under his padding (I think some sort of plastic to cover it as well). He pulls up the padding shows it to a group of us and says, "she's getting wet more ways than one today." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I was dying with the group, but I didn't know what it really meant until years later.

I have mentioned this quote, circa 1974, before on hydroracer.net from alky legend Bob Thornton after which Matt D'Agostino chimed in because he was there.

Emerging from the water after driving into a piling outside of the race course, Bob Thornton said:

"He shouldn't oughtta done that to me!"

Not only did Bob seem oblivious to the fact that he escaped death after driving his boat into a stationary piling, the "offending" driver simply passed Bob quickly on the inside, leaving Bob in his wake, blinded from the spray.

Ironically, the destruction of his old boat ultimately led Bob to his purchase of a brand new Bezoats hydro, perhaps his first new boat purchase in a decade or so, after which Bob seemed to always place higher at the finish line.

Special note to Kirby Thornton, Bob's son, - do you ever read posts here?
