it's finally gonna go, the newport to san diego race is going to be a dream race for beach cats with a chase boat, massive parties and a perfect course to break out your most massivist spinny and put the hammer down. I hereby challenge mr. lee wickland (formerly of southern california, now known as TEX) to come and try to regain his former mastery of the pacific ocean! And bring some other eastern and southern blokes too! I'm also thinking the f-18 guys won't be able to resist..?

by the way, it's at xsracing.org and will also be sponsored by several companies with lots of interesting prizes

and who will win on elapsed, a beachcat (tornado, inter 20 etc.) or an m-23 or what? any bets...?

OK F@&cker, I'll do everything I can to get there and do it!

I think the winner could very well be a Black Inter 20. But we'll try to make it a Green one.

like mr miyagi say, "no try, do..."
I may even bring your beloved mark m. to provide you with some
free sailing and boxing lessons...
is that enough to stir your juices sir?

I'm all for it as long as we don't have to use gloves.

Is that for the sailing or boxing?

Todd,
It's a long story that should never be brought up on the internet again. I'll tell you about it at the Tybee over a beer or 6.
