i know tell me about it
running the boat and the ski is hard enough
let alone race insurance, fees and extra fuel for racing
would of loved to have done a couple this year as thers not so much finanial commitment involved,
but due to now wanting a mortage in the near future, im taking a much overtime as i can get
are you down sataday night or just for the race on sunday?
