The 2nd Annual Walled Lake Thunder Regatta was a great race weekend! With mother-nature making her presence from time to time the overall weather was great!  I have the sunburn to prove it!

For 2009 ~ I have merged teams with Mike Cashin & Dean Armstrong. Together we'll be running the older 5 litre Heddon hull till the new boat is built. 
Walled Lake was our first race of the season.  Heat 1 - was short lived.  With 1-1/2 laps remaining in the race, we broke a chain coupler that connects the motor to the prop shaft.  Because of the rare shaft size, we weren't able to replace the broken parts.  Many thanks to the Teams that offered their time and spare parts.  Mike Bruns had a spare master chain link we used on that heat.  Jim Wilson tried desperately to machine some parts on the Bridgeport.  Unfortunately, a part was damaged in the process.  For the organizers... Jim Seckler, Todd McQuin, and Bayside Sports Grill, and of-course APBA race staff and sponsors... Thanks!
