NATIONAL BOAT RACING ASSOCIATION

Good to see all of you, and pleased the meeting went so smoothly...thank you, Jeff!

Also, so wonderful to see the support Jeff has hustled from sponsors... roughly $8,000 in awards and prizes for a racing organization that still tries to keep racing affordable. Other organizations can only be jealous!

Good job -- EVERYBODY -- Look forward to seeing you on the lake in 2010!

       WOW !! what  can  I say  other  than  THANK YOU !! (Eagle Body) for  donating the $1000 cash  prize  and THANK YOU !!!  NBRA   for  giving me  the  opportunity to win  this  great  prize.  This  being our first  year  back and  going  to  every  race  under  the  sun has  racked  up  the  expenses . Then top  it  off  with  a  rookie  driver  not ever satisfied , the buying  and  selling  of  equipment  takes its  toll.  This  $ 1000 will be  put  to  good  boat racing  use .  With Two  new  boats , we  are  looking  forward  to  a great  2010 season.   When I left  in 1983 , AOF  was  the  banner  to  run under ,  but  I will say NBRA  with  the  membership  it  has  and  type  of  people  involved in the  leadership, is  the  best  by  far .

         Again, Thank you for  the  support and  help  we  received   during  the  2009  season and  Joe  and I  look forward  to  seeing  all of you next  year.

Andy and Joe --  it has been my pleasure having you two run with us ....  I personally love seeing racers with so much ambition and ehthusiasum as you guys have ...  It gets me pumped up . No offense to other organizations but NBRA is the place to be . WE  always welcome new racers to come run with us no matter who you ran with befor.  Its exciting to see our club growing and aquireing new race sites . This next year will be even better .... 

Good to hear that the National meeting was so successful. Thanks to all the people that did/have done/are doing all the WORK to make everything successful. We all know that it takes a lot of WORK.

Andy, I met you over 25 years ago when we were both racing AOF (and you had that pretty Seajay hydro!). The current NBRA is mostly the same people that were the AOF 25+ years ago. You should feel right at home. I'm glad to see you back and hope that ya'll are having a lot of FUN.
