Tantrum fell short at Radar Run, again
 

I thought I was gonna sneak away with the win for Single V this year. I had a seacret weapon that I was anable to use. So I settled for third at 76 mph on the gun. I had 77.5 on my GPS, but its all about the Gun. First was a 30' Superboat at 79mph and second was a 25 Baja at 78-77mph. The gun cut a few peoples speeds by 1-2mph this year. My 100 shot of NO2 would have easily put me in the low-mid 80's (solenoid problem)

It was rough with strong wind but the AT did fine. Randy Nuzzo was there snappin shots, 940 pics http://photos.powerboatphotos.com/f305603441

388 skater black/silver/red did 156, F29 DCB green/yellow 136 mph, 42 fountain green 115, 38 fountain 108, 28 skater white 104 mph, both Spectre cats around 110, I think.

This is always a nice way to cap off the season.

Thats to bad about the solenoid, your right it should have put you in the 80s....been hanging around here for over a year and this is the first time i have read about some one using NOS on there boat.....in 1986 I put NOS on my boat, it was a 24ft. checkmate enforcer with a 370 merc with some minor work TRS drive, no hyd steering, no lanyard....stupid i know but i was 22 years old, with no fear and a need for speed...the first time i hit the nos it was all over.....it was crazy, it was like kicking in another motor, now there was no GPS back then but the wish gauge read 88/89 mph, and in reality it was probibly 82/84 mph, but its one of the craziest rides I have ever been on, chine walk like crazy but instant power....hope you get it working, because it will be one hell of a ride......Joe

Been there done that too... The motor usually isn't long for this world with the laughing gas button held down.. but it sure made me giggle!!! Crazy power on demand!!!:evilb:

A little 100 shot wont hurt anything if used sparingly.

I agree. I was more worried about the standard Bravo drive, only a little though. I had a labbed 30 on to help things out, usually spin a labbed 28.

I guess the 30 pitch used more gas than the 28 pitch usually does.:party-smiley-004:

Ha Ha, I think I just mad too many runs. A couple of them the system was on so I was dumping un-needed gas into the motor. That actually only slowed me down 3 mph and about 200 rpm

I ran out of gas on the way home in some ruff stuff.

Yeah, 100 won't hurt much.

is that a wet system on the AT?and what engine is it? if you dont mind me asking
the big spectre runs 118 alllll day btw

I don't mind. Its a wet kit with the carb plate. The NOS Sniper kit to be exact. I have a purge line running out the back of the hatch in the middle. Feul press. saftey switch, MSD high current relay. Engine is a custom built 489ci full roller with Alum. heads, 10-1 comp. Not built for boost or a high shot of N2O.:eek:. But according to everbody you only need a nitrous built motor for shots above 140hp
