Default RE: Central NEW YORK boaters

Hi guys!

We did rather poorly (8th and 11th place) in Thunderboat and Crackerbox.
The Bullitt and ABox performed flawlessly! They ran very well and we had zero mechanical issues.
That leaves driver error...

It was very windy and I pushed it too far trying to do better. I flipped the Tboat in one heat and got taken out by two other boats in another. The other two heats went very well. The new Bullitt actually scared me a little on the straights...

The ABox suffered from an itchy trigger finger. In the 3rd round, it was so windy that the boat had a hard time turning!
Of the two heats of Crackerbox in the 3rd round, 9 boats did not finish. Thats how windy it was!

We had a great time and shook hands with hundreds of people! It was an amazing week!

Over all, I give the 2012 Orlando Winter Nationals a 10+ for fun!

See everyone soon!

Joe
