030, YES I am still with Jones and Co. on the TAF BUT our driver jumped ship on us. (My turn to razz someone in here now). Yes it's true, he like you, now has a whizzy new top secret deal going on and leaves all of us to fend for ourselves without his driving excellence. I'm not like you guys though, I'll tell you and the rest of the folks what we're doing. The team is going to Ming next weekend without Costello. I made no plans to go and it is very last minute. The owner of the boat Mr. Jones will drive. I hope it runs "0's", but Don is just trying to get down the track for now. Depending on what happens, we may return in April to Ming. I would probably go. If we get going even back where we were last year, we'll go to Phoenix. I don't know if I will go or not. My deal is this. I sold my Harley and threw the money in my company. It is somewhat floundering at the moment, with no real return on my investment at this point. (There are some things in the works though, so it's not all bad) I miss my bike, I'm getting another one. I am ass deep in this 21' V-Drive cruiser project also at the moment, I need to finish it. I spent over $9,000 spectating and crewing at 11 races last year. That would almost replace my bike. On top of all that, my wife is at home more often than not with the baby now and her income dried up quite a bit. My good buddy Jetboatguru offered me a job on their new deal all expenses paid, but I do not have the vacation in the bank to run the whole east coast. Roger took 70 days off work last year to do it all. I couldn't even go 1/4 of that right now. Don is very happy with my lame ass "if I can make it I will" commitment to his operation and I will work with them at Red Bluff, Chowchilla, and The Finals for sure. So in a nutshell that's my plan for this year. I'll see you at a racetrack somewhere soon. Now, what was it you were doing this year???????? http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Heads up]

Hmmm, sucks costello you guys looked like you had a good thing going. Top secret, yeah right.

[Jetboatguru]

I am hereby announcing the break of Jetboatguru and Costello. While unfortunate and sad, it was inevitable. I leave him with great memories and wish him luck in all of his endeavors. Please give my regards to Leon.

Costello, Don is a pretty big guy. Will he even fit in that boat?
Oh, welcome to the can't justifiy the money and time to go racing club. How's the 21'er comming along. My project is making progress but it looks like I'll run out of funds before it's done again. Oh well, I'm used to it.
So, Fired UP, Did you ever get a pan? I use a 14 Qt. Dooley pan but that stephs that boat030 sounds like a nice one.

Sure did ,Thanks. Picked one up from Phil Bergeron. He's sending it out next week with a "return it if your not happy" agreement. It needed some minor repair. He assured me it was not a "bag of marbles".

[Costello]

Head-Up, it is a little bit of a set back for sure. As for the Jetboatguru, those are hard shoes to fill when it comes to driving a flat. I was over checking out their new operation today and I must say it's first class. I wish him and the whole BIO~HAZARD team a succesful bid at the 2002 championship. Once they get a setup together, they are likely candidates for a championship. SuperDave, Don would not fit in the boat before. He tells me he has modified the seat and moved the steering wheel and he now fits in the capsule. As for my 21'er it was possibly for sale "as is" to a couple of different parties, but neither has stepped up so Monday, without fail, the block and other miscellaneous goodies will be at the machine shop. I would say by the first part of April if I bust nuts on it I should have it on the water. I may sell it when it's finished.
