The adventure continues (for the last time)

Well we have not been in the water for the last two years and that will end in June. New driver, new partner, new team. Gone are the last of the Canadians. All things Canadian, the boat name, and as much of the past as we can do.

The boat number will remain the same 131 that was my original number on all my boats- 8 or 9 of them I think. The boat will have a new look and a new name. The newest boat is still not quite complete, but we have the new fuel boat, built two pro mods and are building new capsules for them. We bought Kaase capsules and are building three capsules and are in the process of getting them SFI certified. We will more than likely sell the pro mods but only after they are complete and we have run them enough to be satisfied with the results. They also have the frames, we built for them.

“No imitation Ellison boats here” We are lucky enough to get Roger Way back (THE BEST OF THE BEST) in my opinion of course he will be training the new crew, he has done that before.

The new partner is Tim Speer who owns ProBoat service in Woodstock, Georgia.  He and I go all the way back to the days I was driving for Gary Brigham in the Climax boat. Tim’s son Tyler will be the new driver. He has been racing since the age of 12. He is a natural and will be a champion.

We will start off slow and work our way up, maybe 3 races this year and I still have to talk them in to Augusta. Tough sell with all they have going on, so we might license a second driver. Still won’t have enough money to run the whole circuit. Ron and I never did either but these guys are a lot better about getting sponsor money than I ever was.

Bottom line is we are coming back and looking forward to it. In addition every tire on the truck and trailer is new so the tire changing days better stay behind me. Remember the record is buying 18 tires on one trip to Phoenix, not that we had the old trailer overloaded.
