Well done! .... see you out there this weekend!

[HB Vic]

Very cool! And nice HB shirt shot at 1:24 :D

[Mrs.K034]

Hey, Stainless, is this the kind of stuff you're looking for at the races?? :) Vic, we are always wearing Hotboat & NRI shirts! I know, I personally, basically live in them, after work anyways.

This race is not an APBA race, which is the organization we usually run with. Hard to explain, but our race season is over with APBA, November will be our first race of the season with them. This our first Lucas Oil race, and we should be running agin with Lucas on Halloween weekend in Chandler at the old Firebird track (can't remember what the track is called now, lol).. Anyways, that isn't one of the ABPA races either. I hope that helps.

You guys are coming to Wild Horse(formerly Firebird)? 😎

I kinda understand the 2 sanctioning bodies, you explained it more clearly though. Is there a new class for your boat at firebird, I thought it was drags and crackers? In case your not familiar, Firebird Lake is truly a race track made for boat racers, serious racing but not as festive as say Havasu. Are you guys going to race in both APBA and Lucas in the coming year?
Wonder if HB Vic and NRI are coming over this year?

LMAO. Lots of f bombs would be in that answer. Almost as good as saying you taught him everything he knows about painting. Will we see you in February? You can try to get pulled over again!!!!!

:D I still am hunting for his write up "how to paint a boat by Pat Eason", from back in the brandywine paint job days... when the ash from the fires was coating everything...

Not sure about Feb... I will be back in LB in a few weeks, for a quick trip... :cheekkiss:

I was thinking about this question ^^^ , I would go back JUST to hear Johnny Idaho tell his story again about the "dog bite marks" on the back of his neck...

Chris, CandACE, Pat and PAPAletch can back me up, that is worth the price of admission...

:LMAOsmiley: I was laughing my azzzzzzzzz off...

I know!! Sorry to everyone, but this has been more busy than most races for myself. We flipped the boat yesterday and Chris got to try out his new expensive Lifeline helmet. :( that was in the first race of the day. No serious damage to the boat, so we cleaned out the engine and going racing again today.

Sorry to hear that. 😞
I read something had happened yesterday but couldn't confirm. From what you say it was probably something to learn from. So happy Chris was not injured and you're team is racing today. 😊

You scared the crap out of me with that text. Glad he's okay. Be careful today.

[westair]

How did things go for the 711 team today? ... heard the wind picked up in the afternoon

[HB Vic]

Talked to Candace earlier. Chris is okay. A little banged up and bruised but okay. Good to hear. From what I heard her say no finals were run and the race was cancelled due to wind. No racing tomorrow either.

Candace I'm so glad Chris is ok. Good luck today and be safe out there.

Happy to hear Chris is OK!
Hope Chris comes on and talks about what it's like being underwater in a capsule with SCBA. I know they train and get certified but I'm sure it's scary when it actually happens.

It wasn't that bad, I am sure glad I was in a capsule. The role over was so slow it was boring, I just sat there un latched my belts purged the air on my helmet and waited for the capsule to fill up so I can open the lid, and when I did the safety was right there. The Lucas safety is by far the best

And a huge thank you to Candace for putting this together, she busted her sexy ass on this for weeks, and it went really well, desptie the low boat count and, our handling issues the K's put on a great show, thank you to Hotboat for your support not only for us but the whole class and all of the other sponsers that chipped in for the class, Concept Speed and Marine, A&B supply, Topock 66, Fredrick & sons plumbing and A/C, Lucas and of course Hotboat, thanks again for bringing the K's to Havasu

Chris,

[Stainless]

Good to read you're in good spirits! Doesn't sound like it caused much damage either. Bet you guys were up all night disassembling/drying the engine out? Did you have to replace ignition components?


CH3NO2

[Mrs.K034]

Thanks to all of you for following us and supporting us!! Thank god Chris is ok!! It was so worth all the work getting this race together for these guys!! I really have to thank the boats that showed up! It was down to last minute to get them all out there, but they made it happen!

I have to say a HUGE thanks the crew on our boat for getting this boat back in the water for Sunday racing, with the new crew I feel so comfortable, it's amazing.. And I can't ever thank Joe Irick enough for building the engines!!

Such a blessing to have our loyal sponsors by our side at all times through thick and thin, NRI, Hotboat.com, GORR, Jack's Auto Parts (without them we would not have been racing Sunday), Advanced Oilfield systems, and Allen's Fasteners.

Absolutely, couldn't have said it any better! 😊

It's cool we get some inside knowledge from the race teams perspective too. 😉

Oh, btw.. If I can find the GoPro, i did get footage from one race before it turned up missing.. Lol. So, there could possibly be a video in the near future.

Chris,

So very glad Chris has great safety equipment. The improvements being made in this area are such a relief. If you race, you know you will be going over sooner or later. The race was a great event overall. Thank you to all the K boat teams and drag boat teams that offered help in getting us back on the water. Joe Irick is my hero for taking care of the oily mess issue. I think Candace put a 1000 miles on the golf cart this past weekend running back and forth. This team has a great crew that works well together and we have lots of laughs.

Chris, was the roll over slow enough to eat a Tootsie Roll? :wink2:
