Shogren Open House

For those of you that couldnt make it, you missed a very nice event put on by Shogren Marine.

Reggie and Wyatt were on hand for pictures and autographs, Mitcher T, Livorsi and others were there representing their products and specialties. They had a jet engine powered go cart and a jet engine powered four wheeler that actually burned up a car out in the parking lot!

Always the showman - Thanks Scott!!! Well done!

39 MTI "Wildcat",
What would get a group of hardcore go fast boaters excited? How about a Jet powered ATV going about 100mph in the parking lot with his afterburner on and then burning up a car. That ATV was a jet engine with wheels and tiny seat. I am sure there will be video and pictures.

The first pass of the twin turbine go-cart scared the $hit out of me. I like to go fast, but you could not pay me to go on that thing.

Here are a few pictures of the jet powered quad burning up the car. I hope someone has a video of it running up and down the parking lot because it was moving too fast to get a good picture of it!

Great event!
