221?!?!

I really hope the radar starts working better. Anyone make a metallic wrap that stays on @ 220?

Guess their graphic guy should be readying the "too fast for radar" sticker for the transom.

They ran again, 208. Funny it is always 208 when the radar works.

Yes it has Mercury 1075s that i upgraded to 1200 on pump fuel.

Dont feel bad. Bill didnt spend all that $$$ just to be fastest at LOTO. He wanted to be fastest everywhere...which I suspect for now , he is.

If that boat actually did go over 220 I'm sure he is pleased.

I suspect the 221 reading wasnt in the measured distance either, but it went 221 on GPS. Thats no small accomplishment.

Congrats to the boat builder and the turbine builder/rigger.

Congrats to all those that have accomplished their dream.

My Way ran again, 208.

That sux bad.
 

Hope they got pix's of the GPS??

I am shocked that at a run at this level and the cailiber of rigs, money spent that they are trusting bragging rights to a freagin radar gun???
Look up rules for a Kilo run w/the APBA or UIM. It is on a "surveyed" course w/"certified" timing equipment operated by trained, "Official Crew" only.
Course thats why those records are always slower than everywhere else but......, they are real and they are legit.
W/the money this event brings to the promoters I would hope this is the last time this happens or the last time these guys show up and abuse their equipment "for fun".

Pathetic.

J.T. Said that the nauti boat gps 226 last year

With the money involved for the town and the reputation of the event - would the organizser's not find a better system for the top end boats that are having the issues with the radar not reading.

Not only this weekend, not certain on this, but didn't David Scott and JT's 208 record run register in the neighbourhood of 213-214 on the Nautimarine's onboard GPS

NASCAR uses a transponder system so its not like technology has to be invented - transponder in the boat using GPS tracking transmitted wireless to a monitoring station.... that all said if you can make the run a few times and have the guns miss the boat altogether, I guess a boat can have an issue with a puck like transponder - like having it fall off the mount during a run and rolling backwards down the cockpit - 210+ going forwards and 6 backwards at the same time

Ok maybe 226 on the Nauti

I think Dave Scott was running the radar gun...lol :evilb:
