Thanks Kevin!!

Hard for me to understand how going over a wake could do that, I grew up on the Niagara River and we had everything including ocean-going ships that had wakes

like ski jump ramps?

Hey Greg how long ago was that you came to visit the starting barge to take pictures, must have been 15 or more years ago, I remember you got into Jasper late and took

a nap, next to the Goats pen one year

Been a long time ...

Sorry Dan and I couldn't make it this year to be with you and George. Great pictures for sure. You really caught the Allison swapping ends. That always gets your attention.

Don't know if anyone caught the motor hight on that Allison that spun at the finish line

I was told the prop shaft is four inches above the bottom with lot's of set back to make it work that way

That has to be very delicate to drive.
