With the 2005 season fast approaching we are working hard to get the boat ready for the racing circuit. After an altercation in Celina, Ohio last August we have been working diligently to rebuild the sponson. Along the way we have made some additional improvements to make the boat faster. The rebuilding process has slowed our team in its plan to race with the Unlimited Lights this season. That being the case, the National Modified will return to the races after a very successful 2004 racing season, culminating with a National Championship.
