Vance,
Yes it is exciting. The Omer Team has dominated
recent races and will be very hard to beat. I assisted with the first
races in California held in a tow tank…water was extremely cold with
visibility not being great but did get a chance to help set a world’s
record speed with my alma mater’s team from FAU. There is a lot of camaraderie
among teams at the races but teams are really serious as you note. Here
is the only image that I have from the races, not sure if it will make it
through the web server:

A skimmer afloat is but a submarine, so poorly built it will not
plunge.

Jay, Exciting stuff. I used to do some beach work when Perry
hosted this thing, and that was fun. But these folks seem REALLY serious by
comparison, don't they? I'm looking forward to pictures of the new stuff
from Canada. Vance
