Not being familiar with circle flats could it take a little more attitude or would that make it drag the tail? I don't know we're the rocker is or how much rocker they have so I'm just trying to learn. Your chines looked like they were cleaning up good for the power I assume you have. What kind of mph was that pass?

Well we picked up a new sponsor, did a name change, and a number change. You guys need to give Scott (Tintman) a call to do all your printing needs and accessories. 903-569-5558
The name change has a lot of sentimental value along with the number. Here are some pics of Scott's work

Thanks! Scott does great work at a great price.
The story behind the name change and the number is he won 3 out 4 of his for National Championships with that on the side of his boats. he registered that number back in the late 60's with the APBA. About 3 years ago he didn't register so the President of the APBA took it. That guy stepped down last year and retired, when I called the APBA a couple of weeks ago they said it was available, I called my uncle, told my uncle about it and he said you need a number I'm going to let you carry on the tradition. That means a lot to me. The race numbers in the circle boat racing is kinda like NASCAR. Guys stick with forever.
Now the name change goes back to my most favorite boat he ever owned (and he's owned over 60 circle boats) and the one he won his last National Championship in the Superstock class. It was called Color Me Gone. He called it that because of the 2 different colors of anodizing and polished rigging in the boat. My new boat has 2 different colors and polished parts in the rigging and since I have his number I thought it would be appropriate t call it Color Me Gone too.
Here is the Color Me Gone crossing the finish line at Miami Marine Stadium in 1986 his last National Championship.

I would like to see that color in person. Pictures can be very deceiving but I am thinking that is the bright orange I have been looking for to do my hardware in. It shows to be almost a bright copper on my screen but I am guessing from past experience of cameras that it is a candyish orange. Is that right?

I will probably check out his samples and get a quote from him when I am ready to get the hardware done on mine but I wish he was closer to me. I don't make it to Dallas that much anymore and it would be a hassle packing & shipping it all, but sometimes it is worth it to get a good job. I will definatly keep him in mind as an option when I get ready.
