Regretfully not guys, the project has hit a bit of a barrier.
I can't finance a raceboat due to insurance issues so as per usual its come down to the $
I haven't entirely given up but its not looking good for the worlds this year.
Thanks for everyone's enthusiasm and support. The boat will get built just maybe not this season
Cheers

Last time I spoke with Howard he was very positive and things sounded to be on the mend and nearly "out of the woods"
Was pretty sad to hear this from him today....
Hello to all... apologies for the mass mailing.
I know you all either as family, friends or work associates.
My son Jonathan was diagnosed at Halloween this past year with an inoperable brain tumor, and we just returned from our three month MRI analysis today with the news that it has grown in size and now is invading his brain stem. Jonathan continues to be our lovable happy little boy who is looking forward to being six this April 10th.
We begin radiation therapy this Thursday five days a week for six week. They cannot tell us much about our future beyond the fact that a non aggressive tumor of this type usually gives 3 to 4 years of life expectancy.... and we seem to have the aggressive type.
I don't know what religion each of you subscribes to... if any at all.... but we could sure use some prayer and positive thoughts headed this way for my little boy.
I hope this finds you all enjoying life and taking advantage of each and every day to make sure that the special people in your life know that you love them.
Thank you,
Howie Murray
I'm definitely thinking about you and your family Howard
