If I remember right, last time I looked at that fountain, someone had neglected to put a rub rail on it..........

 

[Ratickle]

We will see on Friday.

So why did Randy run into the Fountain???

because you guys were too scared to.

doooo,,,,,

LMAO....

Dang that's funny...

All's well in Key West.....

 

[SVL66]

Im on my way ....see you guys in a bit.

I bet Steve gets a chance to test rub rails today. I'm guessing before the the first turn. Hope for some good racing, and ramming today.

 

[Ratickle]

Conditions are definitely a lot rougher than Wednesday. Whitecaps and the wind is coming down the chute from the north.

Bobcat had to be out there at 5:30 to set buoys etc. He'll be a patrol boat on the far turn I think. Either turn 2 or 3, guess we'll find out later.

 

[Ratickle]

Dave and Travis say the boat is all fixed and good to go.

Hope they do well......

Doc said they missed the setup, s--t happens.......


They were testing yesterday, think they have it.....

Hey Dean, explain that to me. I bought the JBS Super V and it came with 1:36 gears. We only ran it a few times before sending it in for a face lift, but full of fuel it is an absolute pig on acceleration. My guess is it will pick up with a lighter fuel load, but is the top end increase really enough to overcome the total lack of acceleration in race conditions? Hard to believe but I guess it must since so many are running that combination.

Our boats run 110 with the 31 1:36 gear. With the 1.50 we see 100. In most conditions we race in the top end is more valueable than the acceleration since we are normally hitting the rev limiter at 2/3rds down the straight away even with the 1:36. So unless it is Ocean City water, we nearly always run a 1:36 with either the 31 or 30 6 blade Herring labbed by BBlades

I'd like to, but how can someone pick from 500 classes and myriad rules with barely any enforcement?

:bump:[/QUOTE]


Just get over all that and realize we just old guys out to have a good time. Bring the new SV to Michigan next year.

Seems like the video has a 5 minute delay behind the voice on the radio.

[extras]

Again the best race so far

 

[Mike A.]

Wow! OK, I'm off to eat dessert - humble pie is on the menu...

 

[Ron P]

What happened? I had to take a phone call. Last I heard, Doc had the immediate lead.

Looks like SBI throws the green as soon as the pace boat starts to move. Randy got a horrible start. What was the finishing order?

 

[Wardey]

Shhhhhht !!!! I missed it to. RESULTS?

 

[Mike A.]

According to Miklos the Fountain spun...twice. A win is a win is a win! Way to go Steve and Gary!

Watch your back 2nd deck to deck to finish line with Typhoon
Randy 3rd
Pirate 4th

I thought Doc just rode along and the other guy drove and throttled?
