Congrats to Jim & Scott for being the first Cat & V-Hull to the Tapanzee Bridge yesterday!

We did our best to catch Extreme Exhibit but the 36 Nor-Tech Perfect Storm just could not catch them. (we needed 2 more engines! = 4 engines)

I think this is how the finish was (race to the bridge):

1. Extreme Exhibit - 50 Nor Tech
2. Perfect Storm - 36 Nor Tech
3. Jim Courtney - 36 Nor Tech
4. Tsunami / Crazy Charlie Racing - 36 Spectre
5. JusTruckin - 42 Outerlimits GTX

Who got "Spirit of the Hudson" with Sharkey not there? I did see a little guy out there.

does anyone know speeds and power of these boats. We had a fast boat at the potomoc Poker run. 36 Skater w/sterling power, 1300's is what someone said. I also heard 149 mph.

This guy was fast also, had a few problems after the first leg

Outerlimits didn't get spanked. Just truckin, Scott in a OL 42 GTX was first. "KING OF THE HUDSON", followed by the rest of the OL V hulls, then there was a lul in the action, then the rest of the pack came by.
The Nor Tecks were all cats.
The favorite OL, throttled by Mike Fiore & driven by Bob Russel had a 160mph contender but blew an engine on the way North.

That post #5 looks like the old 'How Sweet It Is' boat that 'skater', Mark House owns. Anyone know??

We came in 2nd with Perfect Storm and ran 143mph most of the way to the Tapanzee.

As for Outerlimits - there were 10-12 there and were absolutely gorgeous. I don't have the stats for the V-Hulls but I am sure most of the top 10 V's were Outerlimits.
