Thank you IHRA for an awesome week.

Wednesday and Friday went really well, (Today) Sunday we got taken out in lap one with a trim sensor unfortunately- not the ending we were hoping for.

Thank you to for coming over and helping us figure out what went wrong.

We leave 2025 on a high with the takeaway of winning the national championship this year, and two podiums in Key West. We’ve got to go to work now and get our new boat ready for 2026.

Congratulations to on winning the world championship and race today, and congratulations to and .nuffsaidbermuda for an awesome race on Sunday. Had a blast racing with our class in

Thank you to , , , and all of our sponsors.
