Let's talk SVL's!!! 2010 is coming fast!

I want to say :cheers2: to Team Octane. It may not be easily recognized but, they are raising the bar within the class.. Nearly every other team cares for their own boat. Team Octane has an experienced crew dedicated to their boat. I spent some time talking with Doug their Crew Chief. They are in good hands and I expect the boat to get increasingly better and faster each event. :sifone:
 
(real racers) (EXCEPT ME ,MY OLD BODY COULDN,T TAKE IT)

George, real racers ???? mmhhh , i guess by your own statement..your not one of them any longer ??? :rolleyes::willy_nilly:
Like Mike A. said...u need a new driver .....i don't know about that , but maybe Jim needs a throttle man !!! lol

Have some fun on the keyboard, like i do ...its not that hard, won't cost much and u can't loose !!!!:cheers2::sifone:

But the one thing you keep forgetting....there are 2 people in a race boat...
While Brian has a lot of seat time..I don't think Doc has the same amount of seat time that Gary and Steve have in a SVL....also that is a new boat...it dose not respond like the 42 SV or the Fountain fishing boats...and Doc dose not have the seat time together with Brian that Gary and Steve have together...
+++++++++++++++++

Indeed Brain daily evaluates boats, and performs the testing of all boats coming out of the factory, (or those for re-powering). Between his wisdom and Reggie's knowledge they compliment each other in R & D for V bottom boats

I have been forturnate to team up with Brain for the past 3-4 years, in testing and competing in events. IMO, running a 42( or 47) with 2,000 -2,500 hp requires a "different" level of concentration than the SVL '

I congrat all the staff from OPA for putting on the SIB event this weekend of safe racing,





" Doc"

Hey Doc, hear you guy's ran a hell of a race! Congrats to you and your team and everyone that ran the race...GREAT JOB! The Staff at OPA THANKS you all. Augie

Doc.....I hope you did not take that the wrong way...or take anything from your ability to race with Brian running together..
The point was when Steve and Gary started racing over 10 years ago together and in there 3rd race in SVL...they were no way as good as they are today...just like if you and Brian continue to race the SVL together...you will only get faster, between dailing it in and getting better fell what the boat likes or dose not...Brian is good at what he dose....but his dailing in that boat dose not stop at 1 month....he will continue to dial that boat in....like he should...

Congrats again on your win...

I heard there are 3 or 4 of the SVL going to the August Lake of the Ozarks Shootout this year. ( Boat Floater, Octane, Watch Your Back, and a couple more )
That would fun to see these SVL go after the set up for competing in this high publicized event. They advertise over 80,000 spectators at the LOTO shootout!

The Poker Run the day before the Shootout is a big event, and a boat parade over the dam this year,,,,,
Going to try to go and look at some floating hardware at LOTO this year.


Rumor has it that octane may be getting a 598 ci dart pushing 800 hp naturally aspirated with a 500 hp shot of nitrous for a little extra push at the last 1000 feet of track at the shootout this year ,,, just a rumor,

Scotti, There is a big difference between showing up with a boat and just talking about it.

Very often the hardest part of change is acknowledging it is happening.. George is a racer whether he is in the boat or not. The time has come when is body can't take the abuse of a bumpy race. He didn't want to accept it and that doesn't mean he is done.. He will continue to prepare, test and ready his boat. Our team is expanding. It will now include another throttle man. :USA::USA:
 
Besides Lance started it.. He has a Crew Chief.. Now Team IMCO has a team owner/ throttle man/ Crew chief, a driver and a rough water throttle.

Wow that is really stooping low even for you. George was told by his doctors a few years ago that he should not race, but racing is what he does. We are 5 races into the season and no one has seen your boat..... For you to continue to knock other RACERS day in and day out is truly dispicable. I for one truly wish you would stay off these boards with you useless dribble and nonsense, you really do ruin the experience for the rest of us while continuing to dig your own hole deeper and deeper..... PLEASE go away....

Why would he waste his gas money? He never finishes a race
 
RYAN has a 1st place win this year. His boat ran to bimini and back saturday... What have you done?

I was drinking and partying with some hot chicks,,thats what i have done. I think it was way cheaper and a lot cooler !!!:cheers2::sifone:

Oh, the win ,,,i think that was cool and a very uniqe thing for Ryan :smash:!:driving:
 
Scotti must be looking to win THE MOST UNSPORTSMANLIKE award of the year.

Pretty soon he will be at risk of losing his competitor status. 3 or 4 more months and an entire year will have passed pass.

Just keep strokin those keys.....:seeya:
