    Hey Doug, Do you guys follow the appearance rules tightly for offshore in D13? We're pretty easy going in D12. If it's a mono or cat, it can run.

    I see you entered in Open Mono. I think I'm going for Gas Mono and Offshore to avoid your intimidation tactics on the drivers stand.

      LOL Mike.
      No we are pretty relaxed for the GP races.
      Looking forward to seeing you and John again!

            I don't know Mike. Last year Reed was pitting for me in Open Mono and was ready to break out a tire iron on a few of those gas guys. And that Smock guy was riding the FE guys like Smarty Jones in the Preakness. Seriously, we had such a great time, we decided to make the 10 hour trip again this year. Why dont you come down and join us??

            I hear Ron and Dick are afraid to run against my $79 TS-3!!! ..............

              Hey Mike;
              want to take my Twin FE Insane and run it in Open Mono?
              You are welcome to use it and take the chargers with you and such.
              I am sure you could give Doug a good run for his money with it.

                  Hey Ron, I stayed in Union City last year. Cant remember which hotel off the bat. There are a clump of them right off the highway. Only 10 minutes from the race site.

                  Thanks for the offer Carl but I'll already have too many batteries to charge....and you know what happened last time I was in a rush... Plus I'm going to run the Vector in Open Mono.

                  I've got a little pond time with the N Mono I bought from Dick. She seems to be dialed in pretty well. I'm running a detounged and bar cut (actually V) 442. She may be running a little too warm (just the motor). Did you say that was the correct prop for the 6L Doug???

                    Hey fellas,
                    Bring P Power Skiffs if ya got em. We're going to run em exhibition style. It looks like we'll have at least four if Ron makes the trip.

                    I wish you could make it Carl!
                    Doug
                    PS So Dick and Ron are afraid of your TS 3 huh Mike??

                        Yep, We're running de tongued 442s that are back cut approx 1.5mm. Typical motor temp after a heat is 130'.

                          Okay Doug thanks. We were on vacation and I didnt have my gun with me. John just told me it felt hot when he pulled the tape. 130 can feel pretty hot to the touch. Will take some readings next time we hit the pond.

                          Ron, I was actually talking about Ron Shaw from my district who is attending the race. But the same goes with you. Bring on your high dollar hull....
