Accomplishments: Our race team is a combination of family and friends. The 2008 season should prove to be the best season to date. Randy will be piloting the Pro Mod. Our kids are finally of age to race in the personal watercraft bracket. We have a total of 4 that will be competing this season. These kids are the future of our sport. They love it as much as the adults do. We are proud of each of our drivers. Every time they go to the water they are focused, and ready to give 100%.

Our PWC pilots are in charge of refueling and recharging their batteries. Each of their parents discuss reaction time and dial in times with them. We try and prepare them as much as possible and the rest is up to them. Lauren is our veteran with one full season under her belt. She did exceptional in 2007. Ryan, Cooper, and Trent were able to race in Marble Falls and qualified # 1,2,3. Those boys were in heaven. Trent and Ryan finished #1, and #2. Trent went on the the World Finals in Phoenix with us and wrapped up his first championship.

Randy pilots our Pro Modified drag boat. Cameron is our valve runner and general maintenance mechanic. Gary is in charge of the parachutes and assists with underwater. Tim assists in the parachutes and capsule maintenance. Rob takes care of the underwater measurements, computer information, and tunes the boat. Everyone has their duties which allows us to maintain our equipment and assure we are prepared for each round in a timely manner.
