You need to find your happy place when getting ready to race. One year at Burley we had 2 GN drivers in full safety gear including helmets, sitting in their boats, and had to wake them up before they could launch them. Seriously.
I'm usually much more calm, but there was alot going on that weekend. The driver dying that Saturday, we set the C/j record on Sat. and broke our record on Sunday.
Beat out Scott Shotz for the Dash For The Flight Trophy we're the third team to win it. We're on there club trophy(their equivalent to the mink)
I'd give the guys a hard time and tell them my boat was just a ski boat. No plates, has a subfloor w/ carpet and seat bases.
