STXR-8 Are you going to Summerville?

summerville is that the next race if it is i am.
ive never been there

Yes it is, but it's actually Sumerset MA August 16th and 17th. Come up and say hello dude I'm STXR #621. These two days will be my last races as a begginer.

Mario: You know this guy-it's Andrew #32 he's the one you will have to go up against in Novice!! You poor SOB!!! He makes everyone look slow!! I'm moving to the old folks class. I got no business racing with the kids out there!!

Andrew: do me a favor. When you race with Mario give him a jet wash for me!! He always washes me real good when I'm out with him!!

Bill you are a cruel fellar, I have a few badd ones to go agaist and one of them is named Michelle, so yes, I'll proly be beaten by a girl.

And yes Andrew I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) we met when I had a talk with Scott Robinson in PA

YEA I THINK I REMEMBER IM BAD WITH FACES. BUT YEA ILL COME NY AND SAY HEY. BILL I GOT THE CHECK TODAY AND I MADE A COPY FOR YOU. IS MICHELLE IN BEGINNER ALSO.

Andrew, I think she rides in the novice class with you. She has the other 03'R. She may be near the top of the regional standings.

she is she is smart, she is going to all the races and just has to finish in the top 5 and then add the points up thats why she is #1 and i am #2

I guess that's what it takes to win the region-travel!! I'm satisfied just to travel under 150 miles and have fun just competing. I'm not really to thrilled to be banging hulls with the young guys.

yea i know what you guys mean. im still lookin at a hair line crak in my hull. but thats racin you know. sometimes to pervent a crack in your hull its not trying to pass the person its waiting for the right time to just go by at your pace. because thats what happened to me at wildwood. my pace was faster i just wa not happy with being 3rd with 4 laps to go.

You know. it's really a hard thing to decide whether you want to race or just ride around a track, kindof a decision to make before you get into the sport. Contact when you are riding with competitive people is inevitable and water is unpredictable, sometimes in such tight quarters contact can't be helped. The combination of speed confined quarters and water is not one condusive to detailed boats at the end of the day. If bad feelings will be borne from contact then maybe the track is not the place to be. I've had my share of scars and on a brand new boat, I've just shrugged them off. I've become way more careful and skilful at avoiding contact, but sometimes you try so hard to avoid hitting someone that you end up hit trying to prevent it. In fact sometimes when you are in front you cause yorself to get hit by blinding the guy directly behind you and forcing him into your hull when you slow down for the next corner, it happened to me, made a pass right before the corner, blinded the guy I passed and as I slowed to negociate the bouy he hit me rom behind, had no clue where he was at that point.

Mario: I try and stay out of peoples way when I can, but with the barge XLT sometimes I become the moving obstacle course!! Now with the R I hope I can be competitive

Hey bill! havent heard from you in a while, drop me a call when you have some time... whens the next race? ill be sure to be there to give you a hand..

Tom: Next race on Aug. 23 & 24th at Seaside Heights NJ Make sure you bring the 1300. We will have some time to cruise around a bit. Carl got my cylinder yesterday and already sent it out for repair. I should have it back late next week or early the following week. It should only take a couple of hours to get back running. Gotta keep the endurance race boat in the water!!

HEY BILL LOOKS LIKE I MIGHT JUST HAVE A CHANCE AFTER ALL TO GO TO HAVASU.IF I GO I MIGHT HAVE TO ASK SCOTT FOR THE BIG TRAILER. NEWAY IM GONNA HAVE TO START RIDING HARD FOR THIS, NEXT 2 RACES.IM GONNA RIDE ENDURANCE LONGER AND RUN THE BOUYS FASTER THIS TIME SO I NEED TO START TAKIN LAP SPLITS.

Sounds like a **** of a road trip!! Go for it dude!!We'll be pulling for you!!

on that note the cherity fund starts now.
