It's tombone-head's rig. I think it will be in the lo 90's which is same as the one you rode in speed wise.

LIB...cats in rough? Why were there none when the rough water hit us at Chicago run 2006? None made the first run, they sat at docks or on trailers. Afternoon, they came out to play but they were a handful.

The pretty much top three are Skater, MTI, and Nor-Tech. If you have someone that knows how to run a cat it should beat a vee in any water.

There's a poker run on Tahoe next weekend (July 1). You going to be around? There will be some fast cats (and V's) there.
