      Race #2 in the District 12 Points chase this weekend in Queestown, MD (just east of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge). I dont think anyone ran FE's in the Greensboro race a few weeks ago. Looks like Kent and I will be running our JAE's against the nitro boys. Don't know about any one else. I will also be running my P-mono with the B-Mono's and my Gas Sniper in Stock gas. If anyone lives in the area, drop on by and say hi!

                Thanks Doug. Unfortunately I only have a 1450 to run in the JAE. I don't think the Andy Brown H7 I bought on IW will get here in time with the short work week and I dont have enough time to send the raw one to Chuck. The good news is John Finch offered to show me how to cup a prop this weekend. Do you think I should let him touch my prop? The 1450 is still a solid prop. It's going to be a good time no matter what!

                  Oh man, not sure about that Finch guy, better ask around.

                  I agree on the 1450.

                      Yes it is with 3.2" of cup. The boat has a real nice ride attitude with it but the speed is not quite where I think it should be. Mark wanted to do a little more work on it but I told him I wanted to keep is as is for my BU/sport prop. The used Andy Brown H7 I purchased has 3.6" of cup. Apparantly it wont be put in the mail til tomorrow, so I'll save it for the Capitol Race.

                        Mike, your build looks great! I'm glad to hear it's working out well for you. You'll like Andy's You made a good choice going to him for this custom work. Meanwhile, watch out because Chuck has some tricks up his sleeve and may just beat you with one of his custom jobs!

                        LOL, now I have to get out to test and get up to speed

                          Actually Ben, I'm getting the prop from a guy on International Waters that had a bunch of used Andy Brown props for sale. I needed a H7 quick and for $30 shipped I had to jump on it. As it turns out the gentleman just got back from vacation so I wont get it in time for this weekend, but no biggie. I wouldnt trade the mono props that Chuck did for my for anything. I'm glad he's getting to do more gas props also.
