You can take Hoodrich off the PCE list and any in the future. The likely hood of them ever racing again is Highly unlikely. |

Hey Eddie, if the item(s) being displayed are anything like we saw in and around Jerry's boat at the Plum Crazy bar in Pacific Beach a few years back, count me in! God bless college chicks, liquor and drag boats. The combination made for some incredible memories, and a few blue ribbon photos that still get shown to the guys behind closed trailer doors. In fact, if my fading memory serves me correctly, that was the same night that Todd Plate, Kevin Mancebo and I stumbled into the tattoo parlor at midnight-thirty and left 2 hours later with permanent reminders of the evening. (Sounded like a good idea at the time) |

FISHING TRIP TOMORROW IN SAN DIEGO
There are a group of 16 us from Rescue, with and without wives and girlfriends, who are taking a charter fishing trip out of H&M Landing tomorrow (Thursday). There are several openings on the boat if anyone is interested. This is an all day trip (5AM-5PM), going after yellow tail, albacore, bonito, yellowfin and other game fish. Cost is just $95 per person, plus $7 for tackle rental. If interested, call the charter directly at 619-222-1144. We are on the Malihini, and our group is booked under Ken Smith. The boat departs from H&M Landing, which is halfway between the track and the airport. The Captain has advised us to bring our own ice chests, beer, water and whatever else we want to eat & drink. Hope to see some of you there. |

Hey Ron I posted the info in the news thead this morning this morning here:
#### SAN DIEGO – Parts of east Mission Bay have been closed to water contact because of possible sewage contamination, county health officials said Wednesday.
Material believed to be solid sewage debris was found Tuesday during routine monitoring. The source is believed to from illegal dumping in the bay, according to the county Department of Environmental Health.
The areas affected by closure are between the east Mission Bay boat dock and Vacation Isle; Ski Beach; and swimming beaches at De Anza Cove, Campland on the Bay, and north Crown Point.
Those areas are closed to swimming, water skiing and personal watercraft use. Closure signs have been placed and will remain until tests indicate the water is safe.
####
I will be heading down there in alittle while, I have not heard from anyone there if this was going to affect us. They did say last night on the new that they had been in conversation with the race promoter. |

Ron here is the answer we knew would come!!!
SAN DIEGO – Powerboat races in Mission Bay will start as scheduled Friday despite sewage contamination that has closed the eastern part of the bay to swimming, water skiing and use of personal watercraft.
“There is basically no impact on the races,” said Bart Leland, spokesman for the American Boat Racing Association Unlimited Hydroplane Races. “We're in an excellent spot” of the bay.
The county's environmental health officials started the closure Wednesday after routine water monitoring found elevated levels of bacteria that likely were caused by illegal dumping of sewage.
They have not pinpointed the source of the pollution.
Beaches could be reopened Friday afternoon if water-quality tests show the area is safe.
The areas affected by closure are between the east Mission Bay boat dock and Vacation Isle; Ski Beach; and swimming beaches at De Anza Cove, Campland on the Bay, and north Crown Point.
The races are part of the annual Bayfair festival, which runs through Sunday. More than 100,000 spectators are expected for the three-day event.
The top attraction is the unlimited hydroplanes, which reach speeds of about 175 miles mph, powered by turbine engines.
Viewing areas are Fiesta Island, East Vacation Isle, and Crown Point.

Hey Brad,
Most likley pulled the chute to try and keep it straight.
How ya been? It has been a long time since I posted anything here. My daughter wanted to leave last nite for S.D. when I said the drag boats were runnin' in So. Cal. Maybe, But I doubt it , actually this boat has a thing for dumping the laundry when she twist. Cables are on the fine line of being short because of the handle travel inside. Glad Mark is OK, Taked to Tommy B he called right after it happened, have not talked to Jay yet but I am pretty sure he is just sick right now. Whiskey River team has had some hard knocks over the years, Rex's crash at Red Bluff was what brought it to a halt for me. I had a hard time seeing Traci and the boys go thru the accident from the shore, Little more then I could handle. I wish Jay and crew the best of luck. |

Good to see the driver is ok. I was on the point opposite the back of the lane Whiskey River was in and shooting some pics as he lined up. He was actually over the far right of his lane as he lined up and when he let go of the rope across the lane to close his canopy the nose of the boat came around to the right and basically lined straight up with the buoys on the right side of his lane.
As he took off you could see him heading for the buoys and then everything dissapeared in a cloud of spray. Ouch.
Ned
P.S. Eddie & Tony Scarlata - Great to catch up with you guys today. |
