AOTH X: So What did We learn this Year?

[roadtripse]

Cool t-shirts, but what?

Is the Blackhawk not a 22 Classic? Are there not a multitude of special edition 22 Classics that could have found their way onto the shirt this year? What was on the shirt this year? Answer, a red stocker, a Testerrosa, a Shelby, and yes, a Blackhawk LE.

To top it off, the only Blackhawk in the water spent most of the rally sitting at the docks, fresh-waxed and full of gas, but un-loved and un-used.

So I guess this was kind of a trial run to see if the Blackhawk guys could really hang as a theme boat for the AOTH and be the really big deal that these guys like to say they really are. No really, they are a big deal.

And they punted. Guess they were more interested in the fruit juice and toe nail polish pedicures than being the big dogs that they profess to be. More like a whimper in my opinion. But the boycott shirts were pretty funny, I do admit. I even bid on one at the auction.

So what next year, pickett signs and walking in a circle? And maybe the guys that bring their boats actually run them? I'm just sayin', a lttle weak, a little weak.
