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

An interesting day!!

In the first race of the day we ran with the SVL's tight for a couple laps then let them settle it between themselves. In the second race we got disqualified for running too close to the spectators on the wall during the parade lap!! Also in the second race Cat Can Do puked a motor and didn't finish. Geico blew a water line and destroyed an exhaust manifold first, burned a hole right through it which caused the motor to also be hurt. They did finish the race and are currently in first place to win the $18,000 first place prize. SOS Venezuela is in second and holding that coveted $10,000 spot while Ryan Beckley is in third hanging on to the possible $6000 pay day. In fourth for the $4000 is Simmons in Octane while Pirate is holding the $2000 fifth place spot. Sixth is Cat Can Do but it is unlikely they will be able to answer the bell tomorrow, and in seventh is Simmons Racing. Should be interesting tomorrow.....
 
A couple shots Terri took from way off to show how the water kicked up on Sunday. Pirate was having a heck of a ride. They broke their fill/empty for the ballast tank so could not compensate for the calm water in the straights in front of the hotels versus the rough in the north and south turns.



 
The Coast Guard had a new patrol boat they wanted to show to the people from the area so they ran the parade lap with us in the second Run Whatcha Brung class on Sunday. Cool boat, said around 45 knots top end......
