            Wow,

            I guess I should pay more attention to schedule changes, I thought the event was the last weekend in March until I saw this post.

            No worries, a quick bribe to the little lady and I’m in for this weekend.

            Should be great weather and another smoking event, and speaking about smoking, here’s a pic of "the price of doing business" at SAW events

            See you guys on Friday

              Its gonna' be great! A nice BBQ where guys get together to enjoy going SUPER fast.
              I enjoy watching fellow drivers send vessels through the traps about as much as I enjoy making passes..

              I'm a fan : )

                We won't let you down Pags hence having a couple spares is always a good idea.

                3 ready for the slaughter....

                    @Tyler... Which classes are those for???

                    For me, it's all small stuff again... Still not quite finished, and I think that both Bill and I have some more on the table to scoop up! Bill accomplished some AMAZING times/speeds last fall. Hopefully I'll get to witness some more of this. Think about it for a minute... Bill went 70+ on 1-cell!!! Pretty cool.

                    For me... it's going to be:

                    N1 Mono
                    M2 Mono
                    M2 Hydro

                    and MAYBE... N1 Hydro

                    However, I'm also bringing a crazy high-revving N2 Hydro setup. If I can't make this hull go with my M2 setup, I'm going to stuff in the N2 setup, and see if I can make it break 90, or turn it into splinters... one or the other!! :)

                    Even spent some time "engineering" my pit and spares setup... Packing WAY lighter than usual, but hopefully will have it all covered. Built a couple of prop boxes... built a compact power supply.... Life is good!

                      Hello, I'm planning on coming to spectate and was wondering what would be the best day, Saturday or Sunday? I can only get away for one of the two. Will there still be a few boats in the water on sunday or will the majority of them be on the trailer:)First event of this kind.Looking forward to the action. Thanks

                        I think Saturday will be when the most people will be there. I know of at least one competitor that won't be there on Sunday.

                            Darin,

                            The carbon one is too heavy for Q, so I'll run it in S. The middle boat is for Q and the top boat is the S & T. Lots of spares hopefully they won't be needed.

                              Preparation of my "Bullets" (N2, P, Q, S and T Cats) for the up coming SAW event......

                              FYI - I'm done with Chinese controllers for my high voltage Cats, I've upgraded to Schulze's, and notice how neatly they tuck in just in front of the motors against the side wall

                              Gotta love it
