Thanks for understanding
I has really been quite a year for me and hospitals. I am now bionic in both knees, cancer is in remission and neck is not broken anymore. '
I must apologize for my sporadic and delayed email responses in the past year. I have a renewed outlook and will be most attentive to the business
going forward. Look for the new web site with new products and pricing.
Thanks again for your support when I was being repaired.
Best Wishes for the Holidays!
Have a Merry Christmas
May the New Year bring Health, Wealth and Happiness
FOR ONE AND ALL
Jon

It's a good thing to take your time with all the repairs. I did a 5 year rehab from when I was sick. It is a terrible wait but it's worth it in the
end. I'm nearly as strong as I was and feeling great. I can only hope you have a successful recovery as well. I look forward to meeting you some day.
So keep it up.
No pressure! ;-)

I am so glad you are doing better Jon.
I sure had a great time at SOBB thanks to you, Bison, VW Brian, Eli and Brian Holgate and many other fantastic people. You guys are some of the finest
Ambassadors of the sport. Thanks for spending so much time with me teaching me to buggy. I now have the ability to pilot my buggy anywhere I want to
up and down the beach.
Have a very Merry Christmas and please save me a Hardcore for Spring.

Thanks for the well wishes. Now it is time to get back in the buggy and jump off that dune. Hope to cross paths with everyone next year at SOBB, DBBB
and the North American BloKart Sailing Championships 03/25 thru 03/30/2011 at Ivanpah Dry Lake.

I had to dismantle it this past fall, and it is waiting in a corner of the shop for me. The assembly requires a sheet of bendable foam to cover the
frame. Then it can be faired, covered with a thin glass fabric and System Three epoxy. Then the form inside can be gutted, bracing back to the buggy
installed, access for the pilot cut, kayak rubber boot installed in the pilot area and a few adjustment and we are ready. Weights will be installed
inside and high speed tires acquired.
Then Bison and Eli will pilot the craft out on the Alvord dry lake bed. In the past Ivanpah was a great venue for the speed record but as the crowds
grew so does the danger of an accident increase. Looking for that 100mph mark.
