Gino it was good to see you guy's pick it up and get the numbers up there... I think I inherited some of your luck....had a problem with one of my whipples on Friday, thought we had it fixed only to have a front seal on the blower snout let go... So when all else fails we limped back to our dock this afternoon to watch the races on TV

This weekend was Bills weekend for sure. Everyone has their day and it was bills turn. They ran great.
We did everything in the world to prepare for this weekend. We had New Sterlings, new drives, 4 sets of new herrings. The one thing we didn't bring and ended up using more than anything was a .50 cent roll of electrical tape.
We tested for 2 weeks under different conditions and were sure we were we would end up in the Neighborhood as CRC. Basically we had the exact set up with a smaller boat so we were shooting for the moon.
Starting the first run on Saturday the Starboard engine would cut out, cut on, cut off and cut back on. This would only happen in the 145 to 165 range causing the boat to violently hook towards the rocks, I would try to steer away, the engine would cut on then we would hook violently to the left. Very scary. To tell you the truth the end runs Sunday, I was not driving the boat. Randy Scisms brother in-law that helps dial in all the MTI"s drove it. He was the one that aborted the last run and said to put it on the trailer before someone gets killed.
Bill and Randy Sweers kicked butt and deserve the glory, I bow down to them.
At the end of the day I went and fond Bill and congratulated him. He asked "OK ARE YOU DONE
HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH"?
I told him " "i am for today, everyone has their day, today was yours, enjoy it, you deserved it!
Looking forward to seeing you in Sarasota Muther ****er!
:moon:I think he thouht I was joking. I wasn't!
It all in good fun!!
This is what my boat looked like from the engine to the dash!

How long is the DVD and how much is it? Is there a lot of blank air time or do they only record whne the boats run. Never been there so I don't know how much time is between each boat. Will they have the DVD available on there web site or do you have to call and order it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Does anyone have any of our other runs recorded. The video streeming is incredible. Everytime the engine would cut off the rooster tails would drop. By the time we got off plane we the phones were ringng and we were getting texts from back home asking what happened. I would love to see how it looked from the outside!
