Record Trial, Flint MI, Oct 5 & 6.

[T.S.Davis]

We have a race Sunday. I'll try to get out on Saturday to shoot some poo.

Just found out that my October schedule will not allow me to get there. I wasn't really looking forward to the drive but I was really looking forward to shaking some hands and placing faces. Bummed!! Aww hope it's really windy and raining!!! Lol, no I do hope that everyone has flat water and the sun to their backs. Just don't want any T class cat to go over 115mph!!! Maybe the first of the year saw event I'll be able to attend. But to those that are going I do wish best of luck and good weather.

Good luck guys, looking forward to the results

Thanks Keith,

I will only be there Friday and unfortunately without a boat. I have been traveling for three weeks on and off and did not have time to prepare. So I will just be out there to bench race and tell Terry to squeeze the trigger for at least a full pass.

Hope the weather holds off for you all. Have fun!!

Bit of a soggy moorning but it's clearing soon, good news is the wind is supposed to stay light.

Only one electric record was set at the event.

I built a boat in two days last weekend and brought it to Flint untested (Not just by me, it's a hull that is untested by anyone, and I modified the bottom before ever running it). On it's maiden run, it went 88mph, beating the former T-cat record of 78mph. With a few changes I was able to get in a pass of 100.8mph (I'm not sure what the average ended up being). Suffice it to say that I was please with the results on this build!

This was a cat that I didn't reinforce the way I would have liked to. Because of the 25lb. IMPBA weight limit, I had to omit everything that I possibly could to make it light enough to legally compete. For this reason I didn't push any harder. I would have liked to set the record a little higher than that, but I didn't feel comfortable going any faster than 100mph with a boat that likely wouldn't escape a hard crash without damage.

The winning combo:
55" Amos hull
Lehner
Swordfish
Click drives
Dasboata props

Glad you got the record and glad that's all the faster you went !!!!!!!

[Chilli]

Congrats Keith. Nicely Done!! Any other records fall (FE or other)??

I could have went faster for sure, but why scare off the competition?

I think Kevin Sheren set a record in twin gas mono but I'm not sure what it was.
I was under the impression that there wasn't an established record in this class, so it would be whatever Kevin managed to run...I'm not sure what that was though. Whatever it was it was a great looking boat for sure!
