Manage episode 482531806 series 2956203
Ted Porter shares the highs, lows, and unforgettable moments from his decade-plus career as a hydroplane racing team owner. His journey from rookie team to dominating the sport includes winning the national high points championship in their first season, securing five world championships in Doha, and finally capturing the elusive Gold Cup in Detroit. I pick up that talk from last week's episode. Don't miss part 2 and the conclusion to my interview with Ted Porter!
Also, I hop you can join us for H1's season kickoff this weekend in Tri-Cities, Washington for their annual spring testing. Look for us at the event in our Rooster Tail Talk shirt - come say hello!
