Sons first scale run

[Douglas P Shepherd]

We were at the lake today with having a test and tune day. My Son (age 10) has been wanting to race boats and asked me if he could drive my scale today.So I said O.K .The first Run went very well.So he said, can I drive it again I said O.K . So about four laps into the run I said Pull the trigger and He said O.k. He did not blow it over, but I would say almost Thanks Sandy for getting a Father and Son moment !!!

That is a great story and perfect picture.

You need to print wallet sized versions for him to give to his friends, that will bring more of them to the lake.

Doug,

If he drives like his dad, he never let off the throttle. I have a sport 20 if you want to use it in Celina? We have enough room at the hotel.

See you in two weeks.

Doug,

Nice photo and story. It looks like the boat needs a little more transom lift?

Try any good three blades lately on that boat?

Thanks For Sharing Doug,
