I just ran whatever was in reasonable driving distance from me, never got that competitive. It was just a blast to run a sanctioned event. The first year, 1991, I ran bone-stock then upgraded the exhaust, impeller and intake grate for the second year. Then I got into coastal stuff like wave-punching which was awesome in the lighter 'ski like I had. Talk about getting air! I had a bad habit of getting about a mile off shore and running swells, but by that time had a lot (probably too much!) confidence that the Yamaha would get me back in.
