Biloxi 2014, Cat 5 Shootout - Smokin Poker Run - Smokin the Sound Racing

[Ratickle]

The water and wind were almost perfect for the cats to put down some good numbers today. Today's star, Gone Again, was extremely impressive. In the 11 years they have worked on that boat to rebuild and improve it, they are putting on quite the display of Smokin' Speed!! First run today was an official 174 I believe, third run I heard was a 179 official speed with their GPS speedo pegged at 180.

At the poker run/racer get together tonight the word was there was an official 182 pass. That's unofficial until I double check with the officials tomorrow, but they were definitely putting down the numbers.....

Not sure what to call this pic. We got the shipwreck, the pelican, and the Spectre spankin it. Name contest?

Sweet Fountain. Ran the shootout then was the official start boat for the rest of the challengers

I think they ran 110. Last year did better so he wasn't especially happy, but a sweet boat.
