Ben was going to turn them up to 5600 for the weekend & we were going to run 110 or 116 octane & bump the timing, but we decided to just leave it alone & run it as it has been.
The only thing I took out of the boat was the anchor. I even had 3/4 tank of fuel.

Nice lookin run Jason Great job

No, midday on Saturday.

Saturday was not a good day. Sorry. I'm not remembering.

I was standing there with Jason Billmeyer when you were talking to him. I introduced myself quickly but I dont think you realized who I was. You were a little preoccupied, heading somewhere. :drink:

Yea, broken boat. Shocker.
Next time.:kiss:

i watched it on the vid stream, great job jason. felt bad for u at first on sat, but when 10 other people didnt make it thru the correct bouys, i figured it must have been hard to see.

wish i didnt miss your after run interview on sun.

I really want to see that Sunday interview...........before it goes to court.

No bad for a youngster! Congrats
Jay

I had a head gasket start to go bad last fall,
the original intent was to just fix that, since
they ran soo good before, but I had the heads
crack checked, and they were, so plan b happened.

Dean Gellner has built up a few 575's, so I got
in contact with him.

He did up a couple of sets of dart iron eagle heads,
got a couple of his custom ground h/r cams he does for
that recipe, morrel lifters, reflashed ecm's

Decked the block, honed, ringed and bearing'd it,
I threw them back together.

It runs now what it would run on it's absolute best
day ( ideal conditions) regularly.

They had a new starting procedure which allowed
us to roll past the start boat at 30 mph.

The first run, I was screwing around trying to
make it go 30, rolled past the start boat, set the
trim and then hammered it:eek:..it ran 89

Went back up, when it was time to run,
I got back a little further in the start box, got
it going 30, partially set the drives, hammered
it right at the start boat trimmed it.....ran 92 ( 92.5 on the hand held)

I then installed the 90 MPH club sticker Jason gave me:drink:

Sunday, conditions ( air temp, quality was better,
had a nice breeze at the rear, tried the same
start proceedure as I did on the second run,
but added more trim to see if the would spool up
quicker, hammered it at the start boat, it porposed
a bit, then it started to lay down and go, then, at about
1/4 track, the right tach headed to the moon:eek:

I pulled off the track, r/h drive wouldn't go forward or reverse, so I'm thinking a shaft broke.....I'll tear it
apart tonight and see what the damages are.

I took the boat back to the dock, jumped in thunderflash,
headed back to the corse and started:drink:ing

I'm thinking it could have hit 94 fairly easy,
but the 3rd time of hammering at 30 mph
took it's toll.

So, for the most part, it was a pretty good weekend.
