1st congrats to the winning team!!! Great job Chad Hill and Pat Bowman! You guys were GREAT out there. The boat took a nice set and you guys were flying!!! I'm glad the "plan' came together and you got the win!

IT was cool to see the TWO of you on the boat with the winners flag!!!

CONGRATS to the HILL FAMILY (and everyone involved), it was a GREAT race with some very professional drivers and good people.

Ron as always great guy at a great event...

Well, the race has been over for close to a week and I still think about it several times each day. With the run of bad luck we were having the last four races, I didn’t know what to think. Each lap, as we got closer and closer to the end I kept thinking to myself. What is going to go wrong? I think the last seven laps I only used the trim 25% as much as I usually do, I didn’t want to drain anymore voltage from the battery. As you may know a fuel pump does not work without electricity.

In the end crossing the checkered flag was a great feeling, something I hope everyone associated with boat 34 shared. I could not have done it alone.

We did it, we actually did it, we won the Parker Enduro!!!

Special thank you to the following in no particular order:

My wife Corey, who is my ultimate trophy and number one supporter.

My Dad, for owning all the equipment, mentoring my boat driving sense I was five and also believing in me.

Fred and Dian Bowden for sponsoring the BMB storage boat 34. You two sure can entertain. Dinner Friday was great. Fred sorry you missed your hunting trip.

Pat Bowman: for you help all year and a great show that first lap. You are a great friend. Racing would not be the same with out you.

Steven and Layne Curry for the help all year. You two go above and beyond, to make the weekends much easier. It is sure nice to be surrounded by good people.

Jay Hautable for keeping the powerhead and greacase tight.

Ted and Scott March for the help in the pits. Sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye before you left.

Harris, I mean Jim for the help.

John Roth for loaning us the midsection. I like the trick up your sleeve, I am just glad we had one too.

Murray and his brother-in-law for the Subway and good company.

We could not have done it alone. Thank you all!!!!

It's great when a plan comes together!

My dad (Ted) and I really needed this. It's inspirational to be part a of great group of people and an awesome team effort. At dark thirty Friday night, we didn't think we had a race boat and we all know the rest...The boat looked just like the old #34 we all have alwalys known (except for the deck)...all red and up front in the end.

Thank you to everyone!

Congrats to Chad and Pat - great driving!

Pat - It's a boat not an airplane! Ha-Ha! - great job!

Ron - thank you - you will never change, keep it real (where's Ron?...no one knows?????)

Fred and Diane - Wow! what a great night at your home Friday! Thank you!

Thanks everyone and we'll see you all soon!

You know Scott, Chad, Ron, and the rest of you heclers. I am a pilot and the last time I was going that fast on the water I just pulled up on the stick and started flying. I guess I just forgot what I was in.

Pat...you did a great job! Set back and enjoy! Keep your stick out of it - Ha-Ha!

I was in Havasu today...OCtober 29th, 2006...89 degrees, perfect...

Anyway, Roger Finney had this old Sleek Craft brochure...We compared it with the Sleek that won Division II, last year....Same boat, I THINK!!!

What do you think???

**Ron Hill** · 10-29-2006

Pat's future bride took 200 pictures at Parker.......

HELLO, is this thing on??? Where are these pictures??????

No pictures, no Nostalgia RIDE Thanksgiving.......check that...I need you there!

ADD:

Scott March, if you can make a business trip out here for Thanksgiving.....I'll have you a ride in SOMETHING.... Thanks again for your tireless effort at the 2006 Blue Water Casino 300 Enduro....Dark Thirty was invented at Enduros....Thanks also, for saying I haven't changed....I have, I'm a lot older....but I still Boat Race 24-7...Bringing your dad to Parker, was a dream come true for Ted and me...I was afraid I might not see your dad again...

I had lunch at Stoker's Bar in Parker, yesterday.....I just sat and watched SC lose....but I was relaxed, something I didn't do last weekend, and savored OUR Victory...while I was planning the 2007 Mini Enduro...

What do you think...? For Fred Bowden's lots.....Ron Hill Super Highway??? Ron Hill and Chad Street??? Ron Hill Props....Fred is going to name his streets something......Maybe just Hill Racing would do it...

ADD: And I don't want Corey Hill getting mad at me....but when everyone was at the driver's meeting, Corey came to me and ask in her ALWAYS SWEET VOICE....Ron....she says, is the Bald (Scott has a shaved head...he may have hair) Headed guy Ok drilling on Chad's motor?? I mean does he know what he's doing? I answered, well, I hope he knows what he'd doing, because, right now we don't have any water pressure and Scott knows where to grind... Oh, Corey says, just seemed like a lot of metal was flying off the motor...

Thanks again Scott, for being part of "The Well Oiled Machine, That Is, Chad Hill Racing". Ross gave Chad that name, as we had his 45 laying all over the parking lot, at dark thirty, his first race back in racing...DARK THIRTY is when races are won...My dad always said races were won in the garage, just proven on the race course....But when you tip over in salt water or knock a skeg off.....or...DARK THIRTY is where the races are also won...

LAST ADD:

If you think you might want to ace 45 SS Tunnel. We will have capsule training at Parker, Thanksgiving. I also have an EXTRA Boat, If John Lane doesn't want to run it....Anytime, during the coming year, if you want to borrow a boat.....for 45 or kneeldown, I'll have loans for loan...

Thanks Ron! I need to look at my travel schedule for Thanksgiving...it will be tough to pull off but I will look-see. But I would love to run a 45SS boat or any other boat for that matter...exculding 007...I only enjoy seeing that boat race from outside the boat! I'll let you know...
