Re: 5 Speed Worlf Records set at Cleveland
Wait a minute I thought bean boy, Jelly Belly, set it last year in Super Cat at 137 something. I know that in 99 when I was with the Ragamuffin Bros we set and still hold the Modified record @138.962 I believe it was I know the 138 part is right it's the point whatever part that I can't remember but if I pull out an old uniform I could look it up on the sleeve.

Too Old - Dirty Duck set the record at 115.338, Zipp's SBI speed was 113.495. Looks like Zipp would have needed a little more to get both.
They may have been there I didn't get into town till after midnight, and went streight to the hotel. I din't see them Friday till around 3pm or so.

I believe
Zipp passed on the kilo run due to poor performance in testing. Some days it just dosnt come together.
Congrats "Dirty Duck" on your World record run!
(little teeth gritting on that one) but I mean it sincerley. It takes a lot of hard work to get a full size 36 ft boat to go 115+ mph with a stock set up.
Stay fast cause the "Zipp train" will be nippin at that new world record run!!

BTJ88- LMAO!!!
