    Default A positive for the New Veles.

    On a positive note for the Veles at the Vegas Namba Nationals. Ken Haines was running a Veles equipped with a Neu motor and was having some issues with the handling/turning of the boat and due to the boat being brand new to Ken and all the classes he was running test time was limited. Ken and I chatted and I suggested a few things that would help him to get the boat dialed in better. Ken made those adjustments but he had already added a small skeg to try and help it turn better, but the skeg he added created a straighaway problem that Ken did not indentify until after the 2nd unsuccesful heat. Before heat 3 and 4 the small skeg was removed that was suggested from a fellow racer (like he was using on his Skater) and in the last 2 heats the boat was stellar and the word on the street was that it was the best boat in the field. But unfortunately for Ken those first 2 DNF's allowed him to only to recover to a 3rd place overall finish. Stlll all in all a very good showing for Pro Boats new release! Good job to Rafael on this one and again to Ken for another great finish!
