Tommy Hooten

[scscuba1]

I have seen some old posts from Hooten Racing but no mention of Tommy Hooten. Man that cat was fast and well as a great gentleman. I remember one race when I broke off an expansion chanber. Tommy loaned me a spare expanson chamber so I could race and then commened ot out run my butt.

Mr. Hooten is still around and in a supervisory position.........he and Lenore are always close by at most races and especially when David hits the course. Tommy will never change. A devout competetor and all around nice guy.........

I remember Tommy in that Bad *** C Konig if my memory serves me correct. I remember Jim I and the others laughing like crazy when it came out of the third turn. He was so fast we thought it was funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd like to see Tommy one last time. But alas, my passion has turned from Racing to Diving!

Tommy was always a contender from the days when I raced with him. We had some good battles at Lakeland and Alex. I found out he was at Winterhaven last year and went by his pits several times, but they were all busy. David had just blown a hole in his sponson, and I brought back the largest piece of deck to help cover that portion, but I didn't want to interfere with them.

The races I had the most fun with running against Tommy were in D and F hydro. If he got out front, you were not getting around him. If you were leading, you could not ever back off, because he was always right there. Give him my best next time you see him Charley.
