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!
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.

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, 
the tow would be killer 
..... Besides my boat may go into shock in fresh water. All these years of salt, I may contaminate your lake.
Great pics Rob.

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.

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

I am not 100% sure, but I think its some 1200 miles from here. So, the tow would be a bit longer. Too far for me. Just call me a sissy, I guess.

I heard something about getting the entire event on DVD for $150 or $20 per run (or all runs for 1 participant... not sure). Might be the tv station that's selling 'em. Not sure. I'll def let ya know what I find out.

Search my reent threads....I posted several videos from different places at the shoot out....This was probably the most fun I have ever had on the water. We ran the poker ruin the day before and it was rainy and wet but still a blast bar hopping.
