The last day of the 2025 season Ozzy spun out in the lead in the 1st turn of the 1st lap of KProH resulting in quite the damaged sponson. While why that happened never got resolved, thanks to Dewey Anderson, the damage did get resolved. Doesnβt it look great? β€οΈπβ€οΈ

Great shot by Pat Gleason of John Manca, Mak, and Kolbe Wyant from the Lake Lawrence race in the latest Propeller issue! β€οΈ
Ozzy really dominated in Junior Hydro this weekend winning all four heats! πͺπͺππβ€οΈβ€οΈ
We had a really fun, and successful weekend at the season-ending race in Minden, California, with our Region 9 friends, and, of course, some from Region 10. Ozzy won all four heats of J Hydro. Mak got 2nd, while Crue finished 4th. Mak won KPro Hydro, with Crue 3rd and Ozzy 4th. Ozzy got 2nd in KPro Runabout, in his new (to us) fast runabout. And finally Mak got 3rd place in AX Hydro. Thatβs a wrap on our racing season for 2025! π
Shout out to Jim Tryon and Karin for all their help crewing with us, again, this year!!! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ It wouldnβt be as fun without them. πππ
Thank you to Northern California Outboard Association for putting on another great race!! β€οΈπππ
Additional posts will follow, including details of Ozzy's crash in KPH, as well as photographs from our road trip, pool, and hot tub fun!
This was Ozzyβs first time in this runabout. He did awesome β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ, and got 2nd in KPro πππ!!!
Ozzy drove the green runabout today for the first time ever, and really enjoyed it. In his very heat, lap 2, turn 2 of K Pro runabout, he had a great save, then got right back on it! [Ozzy on the left, and please excuse the language (lol).] Ozzy, also, hit 43.7 mph in JH, which is a great speed!, as well as winning JH! πππβ€οΈ
