It Must Be True!

Hi All,

It never ceases to amaze me that people will believe whatever they read. Of course I'm talking about the "unlimited" power lipo cells will bring. I love all the keyboard physics professors out there that tell us all they "know" about what "could" happen in FE boat racing. Ya right, and pigs will fly out of my ass too. If these types of people had a tenth of the brains they think they have they would be dangerous!

Theory and practice don't always (usually never) walk hand in hand. Maybe I'll get lucky and aliens will visit me in the middle of the night. They will bestow upon me all their knowledge and give me the tools needed to run the mythical boats the professors are talking about. Nope, I don't live in a trailer park so I guess I'm screwed, aliens don't visit normal folks homes. But they must visit the professors homes, how else would they know all they do? Wait a minute, I just figured it out! They have read and learned all they know from the Internet, it must be true.

You Can't Fix Stupid

Hi All,

Yep, a 3200.00 (dollar) custom built 68 MPH race boat reduced to junk in the matter of 15 minutes! You know, I was with my customer when he raced/wrecked this boat and no mater what I told him he was going to do it "his" way. Well, his way was the wrong way and the results are in the pictures! I've got all kinds of customers, most pay attention and never have problems. The ones that listen usually end up winning races and will have their boats for years to come. Then there are the ones with more money than brains. These guys can keep you in business for life! Yep, this guy came back to the pits with his wrecked boat and says "build me another one"! That's it in a nutshell, you can't fix stupid. I wonder how long the next one will last?

The Train Wreck

Hi All,

Yep, just like a train wreck you have to look at, the lipo debate goes on. I'm getting a kick reading the comments by some of the people out there. And they are "out there." LMAO! You would think having lipo cells in a boat was the same as the North Koreans having nukes. Maybe we should have a study group like the Feds had for Iraq. Ya right, that's the ticket. The mentality is it's to much too soon, give me a break. Maybe the nay sayers should grab a candle, sit on a dirt floor and READ A FRIGGIN' BOOK! Then go out and feed the horse that PULLS YOUR COAL CART! Schmucks.

Then there are the ones who get it, I call them leaders and pioneers. These people move forward and advance the sport I love. It's here and now, you can either jump on board or get out of the way.

The Great Lipo Debate

Hi All,

Man, I can't believe all the hub-bub about using lipo batteries in FE boats. To read the comments on some of the boards is comical at best. Hey, lipos are here to stay and either you join in and enjoy the ride or sit on the sidelines and watch everyone else have fun. The IMPBA just past (by 3 to 1 margin) a rule that lipos can now be used in competition, kudos to the forward thinking Org. NAMBA members on the other hand say it's the "death of FE boat racing". Hogwash!

I'll tell ya, racing anything is not cheap. If you want to be at the top of your game you have to pay to play. Most of the flak is coming from guys that don't even bother travelling to races! Sorry but those peoples comments fall on deaf ears, the carry no weight. Hey, nobody is saying you can't run old tech in your club, do what you want. But if you want to attract the hard core racers out there you better smell the roses cause their not sitting around waiting for you to WAKE UP!

Welcome to my Blog!

Hi All,

Welcome to my Blog, here is where I'll post my thoughts pretty freely. Those of you who know me will not be suprised by my postings, others may get offended. Guess what, TOO BAD! lol. As a boat racer and builder I'll share some of what's been going on, races I've attended and how things are going.

Anyway, thanks for stopping in and hopefully you'll enjoy some of my rants....Stay tuned!
