He also said that it was time to give Dave Callan some competition so I am excited to see his new turbine boat. Would love to see Bacardi and Longlite competition next year. BTW I think 186 or 189 was Bacardis fastest run and in a 36 foot cat that is haulin the mail!! Also Callan had the other cat I think 3 years when he made the 203 & 205 passes and this is the first year for the new boat. Takes some time to dial it in. |

Yeah I heard him say that in the interview. He even implied the conditions will have to be impossibly perfect. Smooth course, good temperatures, perfect boat, etc, definitely a dream kind of situation on loto. They could absolutely see more mph. I am however very skeptical of these 230mph claims in a 1 mile run. |

Remember Callan raised the bar 40 MPH in 2 years (throwing out the Miss bud runs.) Callan said that for every degree over 60 their turbines lose 6 HP so if we even get a day in the mid 80s and reasonable humidity like sunday 2003 I think it's there, just need more time in the boats and the right conditions as you say. |

Rumour has it that Barcardi has been working on it's Turbine boat for a while, (2 years!) I look forward to seeing it! Dean |

Yep, I'll be there to watch! I still think 230mph in one mile is going to be tough in anything but a drag boat. I'd sure love to see someone pull it off. :cool: |
Re: Big Thanks for Everyone who attended LOTO Shootout
Well I am sure if there is one guy to do it he is going to do it in a silver and black boat :D
