The weather is not looking good but we are probably going to do a long distance test run in the rough on wednesday.

That ride reminds me of "Thank you Sir! I'll Take another" Ouch!

Think he needs a kidney belt more or a mouth piece to keep him from biting his tongue?

GoPro should warranty those two. (Since there is proof they didn't hold) LOL.

We all know this was a moonshine run. No need to lie about it...

How do the Cummins respond to being throttled like that? Look like they are smoking upon re-entry when they are rebuilding boost.

Are you running them differently in rough water vs. a quick SC engine?

We were on our way to Key West on tuesday to try to set the record from key west to cancun on wednesday and broke a prop. Does anyone have a prop we can borrow? The props we had were custom made and there are no spares, they are 19" dia. 41 pitch. Does anyone have anything big? 17"-19" 38 or bigger pitch?
