These are big numbers and there's two more days to go. Boyd had the T-Offshore record for a few hours at @ 106mph or so & will prop up tomorrow
Tyler's going for the fastest FE record in the world at over 142mph ; stay tuned. I'm attempting to bump my 67.771 P-Ltd Offshore record and get the Drifter S back in the seventies. Mark F will go for some more records when his Shocker gets in the groove.
More tomorrow.

Tyler P-Mono 80.6xx mph
Brian P-Hydro 114.796mph with a fast pass of 117.xxxmph
yours truly P-Ltd Mono 54.45xmph
Not sure if anyone realizes the amazingness of these speeds (except for my wimpy number). They're pretty eye-opening and weren't easily accomplished. To arrive at these numbers, LOTS of airobatics, shoreline impacts and a mountain of fried electronics in the pits.
Arrive before sun-up, pits assembled & timing lights rigged, run early in the flat water; wait out the mid day breeze, fighting sleep, & run in the good water till dark. For three consecutive days. Not for the endurance-challanged but the camaraderie and vibes make it all worth it for SAW addicts. AS does the food - Kim's barbecue lunch today was completely out of this world. I'm still grinning and rubbing my belly.
I have pix and vids but I'm too exhausted to sort/upload them - will do so soon when I'm recovered. Tomorrow arrives shortly for the final round. Stay posted. :Peace_Sign:
Final Talley - TWELVE new NAMBA FE SAW Records and two Gas NAMBA SAW Records
Three dark-to-dark days; very little sleep; but here's the results : (more details/pix/vids after some recovery time). It's impossible to pack into a late evening post the absolutely amazing time this event was. Will try soon. :Peace_Sign:
