Picked Up Some Hitchhkers
We stopped and picked up these two Stadium Race Boats from Darrell Sorensen.
Also stopped by to see if Freddy and Linda were in Kingsburg. Freddy was at the UIM meeting in Greece, and Linda was at the new house. This house is the Fred, Sr's house...Kingsburg is a cool little town.

Ernie Dawe Is Coming By Tomorrow 10/24/2012
Ernie has two new "A" Hydros on order one for Ade Bloomfield and one for Tim Herman. Ernie is picking up the plywood and epoxy....
I don't know if he buys gasoline at this station, but I usually do when I'm in Indio...I get a "KICK OUT" of the sign. The station is a block from Ernie's...

Irvine lake, 3/13/13: Testing Didn't Go Well
Well, most people on March 13th don't go "Play" with their boats. But us Californian's, when the weather is 85 plus thing we should be running boats. Irvine Lake is 15 minutes from my house and 20 minutes from my shop.
So, today we decided to test our $3,500 Maximum with the $35,000 Yanmar Diesel in it and my COR 2.0 boat..
Both boats ran perfectly, except that we didn't learn anything, for sure or gain any speed.
The Yanmar diesel has an amazing "TURBO LAG", which we think we are going to fix and my Baker COR boat works get til about 74 MPG, trouble is, everyone else is going about 77 mph plus. The Baker runs like a "SCALDED DOG" to about 74 MPH, then it gets so wild you can't drive it.
Mike Q, John Soares (Driving the 9 boat), Chad Hill and Jim Wilkes of Wilkes Marine.

3/20/2013 First Day of Spring 2013: Irwindale Raceway
For my birthday, Laurie bought she and I 20 laps in a NASCAR Car. I stalled for almost a year becasue I wasn't sure I would fit in the car and also, I thought I'd drive like ****.
WELL TODAY WAS THE DAY. (Ticket was only good for a year)...So, I started first in #3 AND I was doing pretty good until I went to hit the break and I hit the throttle.....My foot was too big to get on the break...bottom line, I lapped Laurie once, but then she came back and lapped me twice.
Her "CREW" was giving he "HIGH FIVES"......I got worse as the laps ran down, she got better.
I'd like to thank John Soares for coming out and advising Laurie and me.
It was a total kick in the rear.....There comes a time when you know you are past your prime!!! And today was one of those days!
