40 feet in the air at 180 miles an hour and the pilot
walks away.

The boat is in the old Budweiser shop in Seattle but
Formula Boats tells me it'll be racing on Lake
Washington this weekend.
Before the flip we were 4th place in national points
but we've slipped a few places since the crash.
Sorta strange that the final race will be held in Qatar
this year. I have to figure out how to spell Graham
Trucking in Arabic.

One of the guys that I work with volunteers at the Unlimited
Hydroplane Museum in Kent. I've been down to poke through the boats
and the shop a couple of times. They are doing amazing things down
there with some truly classic and memorable boats.

He just brought in pictures of the Miss Wahoo.

This guy I know at nwspeedshots.com took a series of 28 photos
of the flip that he's put into a montage, that will be auctioned
off at the museum. The guy does great work. If you dig through
his site (in the video section) there's a video of our boat last
year, taken by several on board cockpit cameras. The background
music is ACDC's Thunderstruck. It is very cool.

Not just radio. We're hitting the big time. Television
spots on all three stations, featuring Chip Hanauer and
our boats pilot, J Michael Kelly.
Yep, I'll be down in the pits both days. And I may be
going up too, but in a Coast Guard helicopter.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "up"?
