Confidence level up a little...got all 4 of em up and running without too much effort.....Sport 40 needed a little help.....needle valve body was gummed up, blew it out with some brake cleaner and the ol fuel guzzeling Mac lit right off! Happy camper at the moment!

Still haven't gone around a bouy in 2 years...gonna be interesting!

Really want to try to take a buncha pics of all the nitro boats-n-people at this one!!

 

[Ron B.]

Hey Bill Gibson, not to worry buddy, you will be fine out there.

I haven't been around the buoy's in a long time and I ended up 2nd this weekend in A Mono with 1 DNF due to a gust of wind on the last lap. I was hoping to finish all heats but Mother Nature had other idea's. My goal this coming weekend is to finish all heats in 3 classes no matter what place just finish!

See ya soon!

Ron

 

[Bill Gibson]

Thanks Ron! I think WE'RE ALL GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME!!
