Re: My Tickfaw 200 trip
[QUOTE=Memphis]I grenaded a drive while looking for somewhere for my friend Matt Smith (in David Woods's boat, Royal Flush) find a ramp to get his boat out while on the way to the 3:30 Chicken Drop place. I should not have been trying to keep up with Matt (Royal Flush is a 42 Lightning with big power and wet sump #6's) doing 75-80 on that 2-foot chop (I have a 35 Lightning with stock 500HP's and Bravos).
A 2 foot chop at 80 would not of caused it to break unless it was coming out of the water.The closest ramp at Mandervile .Been there twice picking up people that has broke drives on this run
Chicken Drop is a LONG run over there

Oh well, how many other people that broke would have spent more on the gas for the run than the repair? I am pretty happy. See you guys for Royal Purple, if not sooner.
P.S. I love the fact that the guy that stole my phone said I was still at the bar drinking with my throttleman.
Next time I see that wino, I'm taking him for a boat ride. I bet he comes back a white guy.

They didn't bother us at Jaegers. There were a ton of water police by the I-55 bridge when we came back through South Pass. Looked at us real hard and then pulled over the Velocity behind us.
