IN MEMORIAM
We mourn the tragic loss of our close
friend and partner Keith Holmes, who
was killed July 30th in a crash during
the St. Clair River Classic offshore
powerboat race in Michigan. The owner
of CK Motorsports and throttleman of the
American Ethanol Cat Can Do Catamaran, Holmes
was considered one of the world’s premier offshore
powerboat racers. He will be missed dearly.

You could picture 333,333 families

if space travel is more your thing,
consider 4,185 trips to the moon.
