I agree this year was my favorite. I have been to 3 shootout events before at Shooters 21. I heard last year-the first year at Captain Ron's was less than ideal. They sure did a great job this year. I think I like the new location better. The smaller channel seems to promote smoother water. I wish I had a chance to talk with you. I was thinking about cruising over in the staging area but I was constantly worrying about when my turn was and if I could find the right boueys at the end of the course. That was our boat running with you and Hawk 40 on Sunday. I ran WOT from Captain Ron's to Lands End because my front running light and gauge cluster lights were not working. I wanted to get back to the dock before sundown to avoid a ticket. Fun times. Congratulations on winning your class. I will try to be more competitive in my class next year. I need more power.

What speed won your class? 67?

Man, I had a blast this weekend. That was awesome. My buddy in the Hawk said "man, he was running loose." lol We could tell you were on the gas. That boat looks really good.

I actually ran out of gas on that stretch! :lolhit: I was low from running the Shootout and would have filled up right by Ron's, but Paul wanted to get to get rolling and make it to GG at speed. I knew it would be close, but I decided to go for it. Ran out at the 22mm. Paul had to come back and tow me about 4 miles. Not my brightest move, but everything turned out alright.

That sucks you ran out of gas. I've done that before. I think the class winner this year in the V1M1 (V-hull 22-26ft in length, modified engine-no power added feature ie blower/turbo) class ran in the mid
80s. I think he was pushing the boat with alot of power. I have a 454MAG w/ cam, exhaust, ECU flash from Tyler Crockett. The engine dynoed at 460HP at the flywheel. I think one would need closer to 700HP to run competively in this class most years. Maybe Vinny will drag his 259 down one of these days.

As much as that would be alot of fun, :drink:the tow would be killer :eek:..... Besides my boat may go into shock in fresh water. All these years of salt, I may contaminate your lake.

Great pics Rob.

Keytime,
Great video. Do you know how to buy the DVD of the whole event? I heard them advertising this product at Captain Ron's but I don't remember who was providing this.

Vinny,
A long fresh water weekend for your boat may clean her out. Just like a stout bran muffin. Hope all is well.
