MomaPoppa, very well said.

Best of luck to all the Still Crazy crew. The boat looks awesome!

We raced P class back in the day & knew Mike, he was one of the good guys.

Here she is on Friday, 6/10. This was the first time she had been put in the water and the boys were seeing what she could do! They got her up to about 85, with 150 gallons of gas in her.

This is video from when we first took off. I took it with my phone, and was trying to hold on with one hand, but it gives you a taste of what it is like to ride in Stillcrazy!

In the video you can sense the excitment-the same excitment of when Still Crazy raced!!! Hopefully you can "feel" why Mike and Dick loved this sport.
