Madison Regatta Weekend

Madison is having its annual big boat race this weekend. Salt would have been there. He travelled to Madison to watch and shmoose with the racers and race fans until his death in 2012. A good friend of Salt's and fellow boat driver contacted us yesterday inquiring about Salts' book and later purchased and read the book in one day.

He as we are writing this is on his way to Madison for the festivities and thunder boat racing. Salt and his father George loved hydroplanes and spent a lot of time on the water when they weren't on the asphalt racing Indycars.

Madison is a great town, having been there three times. The racing just tops the year for the people of Madison. The sounds have the changed since Salt sat in an open cockpit with a big 7 litre piston driven engine, replaced with an F-16 like canopy cockpit, turbine whining and the driver now sits in the front of the boat.
