Record Trial, Flint MI, Sept 30, Oct 1st. Backup date Oct 7 & 8th.

You can get to 70 but not many of those that make it there can turn worth a crap. Kevin has a new Pearl that runs near there and turns pretty well. We'll see. I have one that can get close and will turn but I never intended to run it in P so it's built like a paper kite. Already falling apart trying to run that fast.

[T.S.Davis]

Oh, and I think the record could be around 21.5 maybe with the right boat and a good eye. haha Maybe we'll make Tyler or Mike run it.

[Terry Keeley]

After messing around with Mark Stein's SP40 I can say that Sport boats are much harder to get to corner well than outriggers.

We found very small changes in the turn fin and rudder made all the difference.

Let's see if we can lower it!

Mike's record run:

Heck,

Maybe I should bring that boat instead of my current hull! I had to peddle it into buoy 4 twice and I COMPLETELY blew 4,5,6 on the last lap. I bet there was 1-1.5 seconds left in that run. I can't remember why I didn't run more. I wonder if the wind kicked up...

Would be nice to get some weather this year!

[T.S.Davis]

Didn't you sink it Mike?

[longballlumber]

Although this is a rigger; For reference this is a 19sec run. 4sec doesn't seem like much time until you out there!

Sorry guys, I don't know how to embed like Terry did... I tried the thing

[longballlumber]

Didn't you sink it Mike?

No. I broke the record in May and my hull at the October event. Good memory though, I had to double check.

Actually that boat that holds the record is the same boat that Fred bought. I am not sure if my current PT would stay on the water at those speeds.

[Terry Keeley]

From our Spring '14 event, weren't they "Sponge Bob" boxers?

[T.S.Davis]

I really want them to be sponge Bob boxers.

That boat is in my basement. I'll likely race it come spring.

[longballlumber]

I knew that was going to show up again!

And YES they were Sponge Bob Boxers!

[T.S.Davis]

We may bring Ty's stealth with just the spec motor. We finally achieved perfection at the last race.

[Shooter]

Gonna take even longer to 'unsee that' the second time!

[T.S.Davis]

Pete, you're coming too right?

[Terry Keeley]

You know who should come down is (Truckpull) Larry, he's got some fast chit!
