My Name is Ron Giese the only thing that happened in St. Pete at the Winter Nationals was a small Fracture on the outside of the sponson from a little bumping off one another!(the heat in the Kitchen was up that day !) I'm sure the plug that Ron Jones repaired it with is still there (the only battle scare that shows) In Miami we threw an ear once and it hit the cavitation plate which left a mark ! and was changed also there was one more trip back to Ron Jones to have a set of golden rails installed ( gold anodized aluminum angle in the air trap ).
