Thank you. Walt aka SST 45 #711

Great job OAD, I was following you and K711 as close as possible this weekend. Outboard racing is my first love. It's cool to have at least a cyber connection to you guys that race and chase their ambitions.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Our best powerhead took a dive first thing Saturday. After trying to sort it out for a bit we swapped out the powerhead to the spare. It ran all weekend but it doesn't produce the power needed to hang with the back. We were 6-7 mph down from the rest of the back so I pretty much drove around all weekend and got passed continuously. It happens. I'll have a new powerhead ready for the next race in San Diego.

Glad your in good spirits and ready to charge ahead for Bayfair. Are the engines used in your class still in production or are you assembling them from parts? Again, it's fun to connect with actual racers.

The engines are all 80's and early 90's fishing engines bolted up to Omc racing mid sections and lower units that were produced about the same time. SeaWay Marine out of Washington state is saving the class by casting new blocks, mid sections and powerheads as well as stocking replacement parts.

Wouldn't it be cool if everyone driving the freeways or streets was this friendly?

Vic, the funny/sad thing about choosing this boat for your comment is that the SE 56 boat is driven by Paul Grichar and that arm he is steering with doesn't work.....

So just before this shot, he would have used his left arm to pick up his right arm and place it on the steering wheel so that he could wave with his left....

You sure that you want LA drivers to be so friendly and then drive with a dead arm?

I'll take a dead arm wave over the bird any day of the week and twice on Sunday

I don't think it was Paul driving the boat ..... I could be wrong though.
