Being Hyper Active all my life, I have learned to live with my disability....I raced a lot, worked a lot, partied a lot and kept very busy...now at 58 years old, I'm still hyper active...I still do two or three hundred different things a week, many of which I don't do well......

I know Ritchie Valens dreamed of Rock-n-Roll, I always dreamed of Boat Racing...When I wrote the rules for Jet Ski Racing, my neighbor was Director of Marketing for Kawaski, he later became President of Kawasaki Motors, but I convinced him tha fun was first and fairness was second....I used old APBA Stock Outboard Magazines and 8mm films to convince him, because he spoke little English....

When Western Engine got the Tohatsu Distributorship and a 30 HP motor cost $695 dealer, I knew I'd discovered a rebirth of Outboard racing...

Number 9, here is my first attempt at building a Mini Boat....to be continued...need to do one of my other 299 projects...
