I think this will be a great show regardless. If memory serves me correct, the other quad engine boat that was one of the original Big Thunder boats is "The Recycler" which is a quad boat still and ran in the Shootout the last several years, at least 2 years ago it did for sure. It was written up in Powerboat as a matter of fact. I think its Shootout speed was in the upper 130's. Anyway, if it is a running start, I can't wait to see how much past the 130 number it gets to and maybe they can run both quad boats against each other, I am sure the Onken boys would be more than happy to run the Recycler in this debut!!!! Fun stuff!!!!

Actually they both have been on fire.....I think. I know the newest one has been.

I ran the old four engine Skater in the shoot out several years ago. 151mph is all we got but it was on the rev limiter 3/4 down the track. It was still set up for 1999 offshore raceing. A lot has changed. It will be fun to see regardless who wins!! Good luck Bob and Randy!!!

Are we really debating the merits of a drag race in this thread? Never thought I'd see the day on OSO when two boats lining up with 6000+ hp would be met with cynicism. Tough crowd.

well said, i mean come on what else do you have to do next weekend but sit around and watch two bad ass boats go at it, i think it will be fun to watch, and it has already done a good thing and that's getting people to talk about the shootout

Exactly, if anything it is drumming up some hype...and hype is good for any event.
