Ripley's Believe it or not.........the myth is no longer a myth.............Loch Ness from the great North is REAL

I saw a wild video of Brad racing our Circus Canard in one of the 1/8 Scale heats from the past weekend's race. If I didn't see it for myself, I would've thought brother was off his rocker. Brad was going through buoy's 4 and 5 after the start of race and then out of no where, the Loch Ness Monster came from the below the great waters of "Lake Kooch-a-tory", then the monster took a huge bite from the side of the boat. He must of been waiting for that right moment, when he saw a wild looking canard shaped fish.......saying to himself.....I'm going to get me some of that.

Darn, I had to drive 14-hours to Orlando last week to see 1000-leagues Under the Sea, when 2-hours from home it was in the lake........All I can say is, let's glue that baby up and next year is going to be a good one....fun fun fun

Curtis you should have been the the Circus was really going, I think in the second heat it just ran away from the other boats.
