The morning morning after, Saturday back at home. WOW, what an experience, Number 1 to work with (Phil, Curtis, Frank, Randy, Dave, Terry, Rhonda, Chris, Tina, Cheryl, Roy, Tim, Mark, Bill) and for (the Contestants) all these GREAT people. The AMA, I do not think anyones knows how much support they give us and how responsive. You all made by job so easy; what a pleasure to be a part of this event. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

There is talk on other sites about judging and such, but not from anyone at the IAC - so you all concerned about the judging, start making plans now, block off some time in late June early July 2012 now so you will be ready when we make the call for judges next year - we will need a minimum of 12 dedicated judges to make a good rotation - start planning now to support your sport.

Thank You all again, Pam and I really did enjoy ourselves!!!!

Just got back home and had a few thoughts:



Marian and I had a great time, thanks so much Wayne, Gil, Curtis, Phil, Ronda, Tina, Cheryl, and all involved with putting a very well ran event together.



Thanks to the judges, Curtis, Gil, Marian, Ray, Tim, Mark, Bill, and the contestants that stepped up to judge and scribe.



Thanks to Tom and several others that were there to observe and stepped up to do so much scribing!



Thanks to Chris for his coverage of the NATS and all the work he put in.



Thanks Dave for the score keeping and work through out the week.



Thanks for the BBQ dinner, who ever got that venue changed deserves a huge thank you!



Thanks to the AMA, nothing was ever left undone or needed. They kept it clean, mowed, serviced, let us in the museum after hours, and took great care of us all week!



Thanks to all of our friends we have made along the way. There are way to many to list here but I appreciate you all very much and am blessed to spend time with you. Also, thanks to Ivan, Nick, and Mike for coming down from Canada and giving us someone to blaim for everything <LOL>.



Thanks Marian for being a part of this hobby with me and enjoying it as much if not more than I do! Congragulations to Marian and Ty for the Presidents award, very well deserved and you two are appreciated.



Thanks Muncie for having a Texas Roadhouse!!!!! Matt, we will for sure have an evening out there another tiime when we don't have 20 of us sharing the same space.



Yes there was pressure, some wind, some rain, and a couple of crashes, but there was by far more nice weather, fun, flying, and fellowsihip than one could expect.

P.S. Ryan, you were cranking by the end of the contest!

I have an update on Dave Villwock. Dave had to leave the contest early so he could back to work driving the U-96 H1 boat.

Dave is the fastest qualifier for the Madison Regatta. 142 mph on the Ohio river.

Go get’em Dave!

You mean Kyle Busch wouldn't help Kevin Harvick fix his car???

H1 Unlimited hydroplane racers are a lot like IMAC pilots.

The U96 boat that Dave drives is in a competitors shop. Ed Cooper, owner of the U3 boat is helping repair the damage to the U96 Spirit of Qatar. Ed has opened up his shop so they can repair the damage before the race in Detroit this weekend. They even pulled the cowl off the old U3 boat and have fit it up to the U96.
