Thanks for a great event Minute Breakers! And thanks to all of the sponsors!

I had a blast visiting with all the new and old friends.

BTW. Since I forgot my camera. Can some of you who took pictures post them in this thread? I would love to have some photos for the scrap book.

Thanks to all the hard working people that put this event on. This was my third year attending and it has gotten better every year. I had a great time pitting next to Paul,Larry, and Dean. They made it entertaining. A SPECIAL thank you (again) to Mike Z. for pitting for me. I had a great time running the T-boat with the three fast guys.

Dean, good stuff man!

 

[SeanKewley]

Nice work Dean!

What were you taping with? It looked like a phone at first glance.

 

[DeanJohnson]

Hi Sean,

It was shot using a Kodak Playsport. Not too shabby for a $120 digital video recorder; it's about the same size as my blackberry.

 

[RodneyPierce]

where are the tunnels and sport 20 boats Dean?

 

[P THOMAS]

That sport 40 heat was a good one for me, Shawn let the door open a bit I made the pass.

That scale final fell apart quick 4 dead before the second lap.

Brian Swith his Jeronimo and I were going to fight it out but I got a lap penality for touching #6 bouy in the first lap.

Didnt think that was right but I guess that was the rule at the drivers meeting?

 

[Tim leyde]

Phil

You are a hell of a driver! I don't touch the bouys I destroy them or my boat. Hopefully I will drive better and listen to my pit man from now on.

I must say I really liked to watching the Thunder Boats!
