Parker 300

[gn7]

What made you get in to racing?

Never didn't race. Paul Fitzgerald who runs the SS 24 April boat and I grew up together. We race bicycles, then motorcycle, then ......
Never didn't race something from the time I could ride a bike. Conquer one form or get board and move to something else. I have always said, I was racing something before boats, and will race something after I am done with them. Too old for motorcycles. If Bills kid ever gets the bug, might build something for the drag strip that is suppose to go in near the Havasu Airport. When I am in a wheelchair, maybe RC boats or cars.
I can tell you this, of all the motorsports I have been involved with since a kid, boats is hands down the hardest to master, & MOST COSTLY of them all. When Fitzgerald saw me in Parker in 2001 after not seeing him for over 40 years, he told me, get ready to spent some stupid money. Rudy Ramos told me to get ready to flop your wallet. Both were dead ass on!
But I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Its something I had to do, because it was something I hadn't done.
