    Hey Rick,
    Look forward to visiting with you & all the outboard guys & we're planning on having a GREAT time !!!!!
    We'll be in the Howard Bros. Racing tent..... Thurl Howard - Allison boat with Jay Smith Merc running in the 10 sec class.
    Alot of the outboard guys pit together, so stop by and visit.
    Wheatland is an amazing place to run & everyone should try to make it there to see the races or participate!!!!!!!
    Thanks,
    Tim Bostic

    You need to bring one of your boats and run it!!!! If the hydro isn't ready then break out the Allison and get used to seeing the clock!!! We'll see you this weekend

    Love to Rick , BUT I am stumbling over these powerheads and machine work. I'm working 6 days a week 10-12 hours a day just to stay even with them coming in. Had a traffic jam on my dead in street today 2 18 wheelers got jammed up and had to pick a number to drop motors off..

    Have a safe race..

    Wind blew us out on Sunday, Friday T-N-T was great and Saturday qualifying was a little windy but Sunday was horrible.
