ihba is allowing all equipment to stay on race grounds for next weeks race .
racer have to pay a new entry fee as if its a different event altogether.
fans won, there tickets are good next weekend..
many teams are not going to be able to make next weekend totaly screwing up the points race in ihba div 1 and 6.
this old racer thinks a class championship or two have now been altered.

was watching the progress on Drag Boat as they updated it quite often. Man what happened?? You were KILLER on the light Sat but a little slow against Kenny, Oh well you are safe and didn't break anything.

Luo ran his best time of 10.09 on Sunday morning in the first round of competition
He was paired up with Ron Reed in the Psycopath flatbottom that is a fierce competitor and lou gave him a hell of a run,but was slightly edged out by Rons better Et or RT
We are both gonna race in four weeks at Chowchilla
John,you got to give it a try sometime
We might race in Eugene/Dexter Oregon in July with the CDBA assosiation

Hey Kevin, I know what cha mean. Youd think we would remember the light thing but seems like we have to learn them all over every year, and with each new set up change seems like lights change?? Sure is a blast though. Glad you are taking ole Lou under your wing. Hes a fun dude to hang with Type "A" like most of us boat junkies. You guys have fun and be safe John you need get to Dexter and run that "fishin" boat with the guys??
