Cory,

You're right we are fast very fast , but fast isn't going to beat those boys.
That boat is so dialed in its almost on cruise control,and that comes with all the hard work they do. Al know how to set that boat up , and does a great job of it. They have done tons of testing and that is what it is all about.

We'll have to see if our speed can work to our advantage...but that isn't going to make up for lack of seat time, and rough water testing with this boat. If I can keep the pace with Al like we did in Panama City it should get really interesting Sunday.... See if we can get out front and get them off their game. So far we've been the only boat that has been able to hang that close to them, you dont get much closer then 1 sec. at the finish in PC. That was the first time we ran the boat and we've made some changes so we'll see if we can make it a race. 2 weeks to go and nothing but testing and or testing left to do.
Matt just made us some secert weapons that hopefully will help because we are going to need an edge.

Good luck to all the teams in KW and we'll see you soon !!!

Say what?? You've been the only what???

Al and Walt will tell you a different story. We lead them 4 laps in Dania in the ROUGH before the throttle cable broke loose. Similar story in NY where we lead a similar number of laps before electrical failure.

I heard Panama City was pancake flat, much different then KW. Similar to Reggieville where Velocity VR1 BEAT TKO by more than 30 seconds.

Just the facts Frank, you had a good run but we've been there too! Even a checkered flag against them in Marathon. TKO is the team to beat, we'll see if you're able to stay in the throttle when it gets big in that new incredibly fast Extreme. If you do its gonna be some great racing.

Good Luck

Brian

Just remember.....the TKO boat is staying over at my house before we leave for the Keys on Sunday.....I might just have to do some "midnight fine tuning"....... Best of luck to all. It's gonna be fun. Dave

Frank ,Brian and to all the f1 teams ,you guys have been all very tough competitors this year.Walt and I have been very lucky to come out on top in several races,but we stayed true to a testing and maintenance program and had the best prop shop in the world "throttle-up" behind us. Frank that new boat you have is very fast, trust me I've done my home work 80-82.Brian you and Chance are a great team and are not afraid of pushing your boat to the edge and "over".You guys can get it done at any race.Guys we will see in KEY WEST,got to run the UPS truck is here with our new engine and ballast tank .

I can say things like that... now that I have a lid...
But I do miss the fresh air and the air pushing your head back going 80+....kinda like a dog sticking his head out the window going down the highway in a rainstorm....

The good old days....
