My son is relentless with these boats these days. He wants to build this, try that, swap this motor into that boat, what if we put the propshop 1450/3 instead of the X455 on boat x,y,z. Exhausting. I am grateful though. At 16 he hasn't learned to hate me yet. Who knows, maybe he'll keep racing like Doug Jr. did as his dad got older. Just yesterday his aunt asked him about the race. "You gonna win?" He said "It's not a bout that. It's about having fun". 
Don't get me wrong. Winning still matters otherwise why race but first and fore most these events are about guys that own and play with toy boats getting together to play, laugh, and have some fun. That annoys some people but those guys need to put up or shut up. If all race, all serious, compete compete compete will bring people to your pond then do it to it. The cup's our show and we make the rules. Rule #1.............................have fun.
If you have kids that race or are even interested in it.....bring em out. We'll get em good and hooked. It's a much easier sell to the wife when you race with your kids.

Run all the words together just like that. Confuses them and takes away time for them to think about what your asking. And don't take too long a breath between sentences.

Everyone have fun and safe travels.
I'm sad I'll miss Steve and his kids. One day I'll go visit you Steve, buy some gold or sumthin'.
Catch you on the flip side.
