Speeds? did the I/O cats show up?

That video did not do it justice honestly. He surely knows his boat and has a lot bigger balls than I do!

He took me for a ride and I dont think there are many boats that would run with him to 120. That was the fastest accelerating boat I have ever ridden in.

Talk n Trash would have out accelerated him for sure but thats a totally different league. Those guys put on a hell of a show too...should have seen the drive by they did right off the pier!!!

You forgot the pontoon boat that won $400.00 for wining his class at 9.9 mph, and the single o/b that won his class and money at 47 mph. Plus the other classes that had more than one boat that paid 1 and 2 place. Sorry for the quality of the video it was an experiment. Very small camera, and boucing around in boat wakes makes it hard to watch. But its better than nothing.

It really amazes me. People go out and run the heck out of their stuff all summer long. Making passes out in front of Fairview running with boats all around and PWC's buzzing in and out. Along comes this run in a more controlled enviroment, paying you money in 1 thru 3 positions in some classes, plus fastest overall. It costs NO money to enter, all money donated by sponsors, and we had classes with 1 or no boats at all. Maybe its the gun.....besides it always turns out to be a great time at Tims 2

I think it's more the time of year. Oct. in our area can mean anywhere between 80* and 40* with rapidly changing conditions. Then throw in a strong possibility of rain. Plus, the start time of the run, it can be pretty cold at 9:00 am but quite nice by 12:00.
