Dude! Sweet! said:
I watched my buddy do a burn out in front of the shop in his big block Chevelle when he was moving it into the paint booth. He was sitting on a milk crate and fell off when the car hooked... That was AWESOME! :D

I don't know about that...2 years ago, I went to help my buddy Dave in the pits and watch him race...then he decides he would rather swim than race...next thing I know Im wedged inside a waterlogged AMT trying to bail enough water out of it for the crane to pick it up, while huffing major gas fumes in a confined space, I would have much rather watched Dave just go happily round and round the course, but then again Dave never fails to entertain... :26::26::26:
 
see Rob . . . you just haven't mastered the art of pointing and laughing yet :D



By the way . . . thanks again for helping bail the thing out :D

Anytime... hey Dave, Johnny Gibson might be calling you (the kid that worked at LP) he just got an old Donzi CC, somebody did transom work to it previously (poor job) then they stuck a 250 on the back of a 19 foot boat. gibby's a good smart kid, but will probably need a pointer or two so he can figure out how to go about it. I looked at it and it's the most whacked transom design. most likely from a few amature redesigns etc. anyways I gave him your number.
 
good deal Prag, yea just have him give me a call and I'll keep him pointed in the right direction. I think i know who he is from LP.

maybe he was going for that P-29 Scarab look or that TwoFace poker run boat :D


Ya know your right he really didnt say what record it held



Most consecutive days on wood blocks?
Least amount of functioning OEM parts?
Most rain water ever held in bilge?
Largest mushrooms ever grown in cabin?
Held fourteen years of leaves from surrounding trees before owner noticed?


I'm sure the list goes on :rofl:

"Dear Mr. Craigslist Guy,
My name is Billy and I am 13. I saw your raceboat ad on craigslist and race boats are cool. I have have a good job because I have a paperroute. I want to buy your race boat and I can pay you $60 a month for 12 months. Since $60 x 10 months is $600, the other two months are for interest since you are allowing me to make payments. My dad wanted me to ask you a question. If it is a race boat, why doesn't it have big numbers on the side?? My dad says that race boats have big numbers on the side so you know who wins. Does this boat come with big numbers?? I can't see them in the pictures. Do big numbers cost extra?

Thank you.
Billy. "
