I just wanted to thank you for the best information I've ever paid for. It was worth every penny! My son Ian and I raced today and he would have taken first (caught on the starting gate in one heat... caused him a trophy, but he took first by a large margin in all other heats) and I took first in the adult open class. Great speed tips that I NEVER would have come up with on my own!
More importantly though, we had a great
time doing this together, and thanks to you, we were
competitive too!
