if the forecast stays the way it is now (temps in the high 70's saturday), speeds could be huge! :cool-smiley-011:

my pick for top 5

Bud Select Turbine 219 (220, 221 whatever it takes.. :D )
Callan 210
Bud Select MTI Sterling 185
Bud Select Mystic Sterling 175
CRC 174

I thought I read on here, I don't remember what thread it was in, that Dave and JT would only make one run each in the Myistic and Turbine boats and all other runs would be in the MTI?

I understand that Leon Derberry has a new 40 Skater with sonething like 2K HP per side - he is expecting 220MPH plus and he knows how to set it up.

Probably not finished for this event but watch out

Doesn't the Callan/Cosker boat have two sets of engines? One piston powered, and one turbine powered? I remeber Cosker mentioning something like that a year or two ago.

If I'm not mistaken, for racing, they just replaced the turbines with the V-12's.

Bidpro, I was hoping to see Derbery's boat last year. Maybe he will be there this year; I always enjoyed the 32.

When I spoke to him at the dock, he said they were running the turbines for some races, and the V 12's for others, but like I said, that was a couple years ago.

Pulling for David and Johnny. Nothing against Callan, just like to see the title change hands year to year.

I like your first 2 and maybe third, however, I think CRC will run a little faster. See you thur.:party-smiley-020:

Maybe they will leave the boat at LOTO for a month and race against AFM Miss Geico in the turbine class?:cool-smiley-011:
