WOW, what an adventure! Date line October 2001!
I was invited by the Bahamas Racquetball Federation to visit with Sudsy. He was unable to come in October, so I went on down and taught 22+ Hours of Racquetball in just 6 DAYS! The Bahamians were extraordinary hosts and the Sports Center at the Radisson Cable Beach was a great place to play. A special thanks to all of you who made my visit so special. I was very impressed with the level of dedication among the players and their willingness to help each other to excel. Also, thank you for your federation’s investment in my Teaching Guide for Introduction to Racquetball 101! I know that it will serve your country well for years to come!
The wonderful surprise you had for me on Saturday made my visit even more complete. I was scheduled to work with beginners and your instructors for 3 hours in the morning and afternoon, with a one hour lunch break in between – To my great surprise, you brought my four juniors to instruct! Ian, I am so happy you came on court with the kids and me! Teaching “Racquetball is Fun” is something I’ve done for 18 years, now you can teach it in the Bahamas!
Did I fail to mention Café Johnnie Canoe? This historic restaurant is just down from the wonderful accommodations where we stayed (this visit – Felton!) at the Raddison Cable Beach. I feel in love with Conch Chowder and their great corn bread, making several meals of it during our visit.
What about Guava Duff? Yes, Felton, the Guava Duff made it all the way with us to Cleveland, and was loved by all who tried it! (Yes that was the BEST!)
Good luck to those of you who coming to Memphis for the Open -- AND good luck to those of you who will be competing for your Nation Titles in Nassau in December!
I
know that others will fumble their way through to this area, but you come here
an invited guest! Many many hours and
years of development went into your
Companion. It actually was created before my CD existed! As time
went by, I wanted to include more and more! OK, I realized that was and is going to be
impossible! So, it was a "no-brainer" that the World Wide Web would be the best way
to update your Companion and my CD! Watch here for
updates, rebuffs, rebuttals and commentary!

Tim Machan working to earn
his National Competition License!

It was the summer of 69! Bruce was playing his first real 6 string and I was on course at Nelson Ledges, Mid-Ohio and Watkins Glenn. Two drivers schools, two races as a Novice then four more races with a Regional License from the Sports Car Club of America to earn my Nationals Competition License.
In October of 69, I went to Datona International Raceway crewing for the fastest non-factory car in the class in which my Tiger ran C Production - Bill Weir and his AWESOME Lotus Elan! - Bill was pulling over 140mph on the wall at Datona with a mere 1600cc 1.6 Liter Engine. There I met the like of Hank Thorpe who sponsored the Jerry Truit MG Midget. Hank was the East Coast Distributor for MiniLite Magnesium Wheel - THE wheels that every one was using!
Florida was quite an experience and I saw liquid budget teams and met the men who created them and heard spectacular stories about how the factory teams got the "special" stuff that kept them going so fast for so long!
Designed to teach you how to improve your game in ways you may never have thought possible. Power up your Pinches! Neutralize the competition with an awesome Ceiling Game! And MUCH MUCH MORE!
