New Racer

[madstork]

Hello,

The last time I raced a boat I was 13 yrs. old. Now at 47 I want to race again. Thanks to friends new and old I am going to make it happen.
I purchased a new D hydro with a 44XS from my new friend Dave Scott.
Dave was very helpful and I hope I can live up to the nice equipment
he built. I have run the boat on the Ohio River near my home. My question
is; safety equipment. I see the ads but I am not sure which way to go.
Any suggestions would be welcomed. I want to make the TRORA Fall Race
this year.

Thanks,

Doug 87-P

great news

Hey Doug,

I was almost getting ready to ask if I could buy that boat back.. LOL. Great too see you out and getting ready, Dan is correct buy all new stuff and get started right. You should try to make it to crystal lake if you can as well. I know it;s a long drive but it would be good to see you and the rig run. We might even have an extra AXSH to put your daughter in to try out.

Regards,

David,

You can't have the boat back! I like it to much. Things are starting to move along now. I bought an enclosed trailer and set it up to hall (2) boats.
I got an A runabout for my daughter, but at 16 who knows if she will
follow through (boys, cars, etc...). Crystal Lake sounds good. I'll keep
in touch.

Have her bring the boys along...they might be good new candidates for our sport!

No brainer

Just tell her how many boys her age race. You won't have problems getting her to come then. Plus, I have yet to find a guy who isn't way into the fact that I race. I was an almost instant celebrity in my tech class cuz 1) I knew how a carborator worked, 2) I knew the basic internal layout of an outboard motor, and 3) I could rip duct tape with my bare hands. When they found out I raced, well, I sorta had to bring a flyswatter to class. If she's really that into guys, I can't imagine why she WOULDN'T want to race, or at least come to the races.

Mais non!

en francais, c'est le choeur. But there is a french word choir, it's a verb meaning to drop or to fall. It's a synonym to the verb tomber. Learn something new everyday.
