That's a cool hat that Sleek is wearing.  ÂÂ
Tell me about the model airplane in the trailer?  Were they flying those around too? |
I had my T-shirt on from the "other board" as well.  
Oh yeah, it was nice to meet Jordy too.   We stopped by on our way out after the TAF qualifying, but Jordy was no where to be found... ÂÂ
Had a pretty good time, though the fuel hydro's kinda sucked after one boat took out all the lane markers and timing equipment.  It appeared the IHBA peeps cut the fuel boats qualifying round short, because all of a sudden the alcohol hydro's were on the rope.
The SS boats and K boats were pretty cool, Tony put on a pretty good show in the second heat race on Saturday after he fell behind at the start.  The SS second heat was full of suprises as well after the lead boat broke with half a lap to go and did not finish.  Don't ask me number or names, by that time of the day I was on view only mode, no recording. ÂÂ
Oh yeah, the airplanes in the trailer.  That's one reason we were standing there, to get a better look inside.  They had the Lear and also what looked like an F-86.  The Lear was ducted fan, but the F-86 looked like it might have a had a pulse jet.  Toys, you gotta love these toys.
And finally, for all you diesel jockies out there, one of the coolest transport tractors I've seen in a while.
A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.
