    Thanks.
    Perhaps it just too dang fast!! LOL
    Mr. Keeley is pretty sharp, you know, for a nitro guy.
    He'll help you get it sorted out.
    Looking forward to some paperwork fellas. Only had 34 applications show up yesterday.

      Think the roostertail is what trips the beams most of the time, maybe your boat and rooster are pretty stealthy?

      We'll put the beams as low as possible but it might help to add a little fin if it's not too much trouble.

      See ya next weekend!

              Got into Flint last night about 5pm, was sunny and 80*. Stopped by Mark Stein's place to pick up the retrieve boat, he installed new bearings and hubs on our trailer, thanks Mark! He's also got a surprise for our contestants if he gets it finished in time.

              FAST member Mike Nowicki's on his way over and we'll get the course in.

              Weekend weather looks pretty good, that big stationary front will keep things nice, no need for your snowsuit!

              See ya on the weekend.

                      haha Don't believe what they tell you. It's much worse in person.

                      I think Ball is trying to get there to snag the few records Fred and I have left. He has plenty of speed and skill to do it. Should be a slam dunk. I may bring some motors with me in case he doesn't have enough gogo.

                            I know Mike Ball hit a 24.506 in Q Sport and did a 30.749 with his Limited sport. That's all I got.

                              I heard on the gas site that Keith had some triple digit cat runs. No Limited classes for trials in the IMPBA Terry.

                                No tripple digit records for twin cats either are there?

                                Terry will let you run anything you want that isn't a violation of the safety rules. Well.......I think he will. So the Limited runs were unofficial fer the fun of it. If it was fast enough for P sport he could have applied for that I suppose. I think you hold that record right now.

                                Impressive to me is that Mikes numbers for Q were quicker than the current S and T records. It's just his heat setup too.
