Formula at the Chicago Poker Run
 

Almost got away:

The stereo?:D

Dukenrock:

That actually survived! Just had to plug a few wires back in ...:D

Card stop #2:

What was that dark Formula that was at the poker run that had number sixes hanging off the back?

Cuda,
That was Vic's 2008 PR boat. 700's with 6's.

Chris,
Neat shot of the helo taking a shot of you. Glad to hear you got the stereo back together. I got my wheel back on!

Inferno:

Shouldn't you be working right now?:signs069:

Off this weekend! Getting around to go to the St. Clair, MI race. :D

Can you believe I have two weekends off in a row ...?

Cuda,

The drives on the '08 382 Poker Run Special are the Mercury NXT drives, not #6's. It will be a pace boat at the St. Clair, MI race tomorrow, so I should have more shots if it posted soon.

Kevin,

Can you post the ariel shots of you and Kelly? They are storing strangely in my photo file so I can't post them yet.

Card stop #1 was none other than Scott Porter and his wife on a 40 SS.

Sure....(I wish they had a picture of Kelly's expressions)

There was another cockpit close-up of you from the side ...?

this one?

Man, where are some pics of the 08' PR boat? I still have been drooling continuously over the 07' boat, so I'm sure the 08' is incredible as well.

Was it the inferno boat that had the major break? I have heard tid bits, but no solid details.

Corey,

Just spent the day on the '07 Poker Run boat at the St. Clair, MI OPA race today. I believe it is currently available for purchase. '08 boat wasn't available due to a broken windshield. I like the '07 much better anyway.

The Inferno boat was the one with damage, but it doesn't surprise me at all. He ran it very hard all day and is known to do so. Heard a section of rub rail broke loose and did some damage, but it is already at the Formula plant being fixed.

Chris,
You got a picture of the '07?

Sure. Saw 92 on GPS today!

Kevin,

Have a theory on your rear tire falling off your trailer. Went to unhitch my trailer yesterday and found the retainer clip missing from my hitch pin ...

Very odd!

Nice shots. Like the graphics but would have to get rid of the middle bolsters.

What are you thinking? I think the entire trailer is wrong-By the time you slide the bowstop up enough to have the transom supported, all of the middle bunks on the step hull are only supporting half (or less) of the step hull. I think it's a 35' trailer. Maybe too much weight on the rear wheels because it was set back over a foot? Waiting to hear back from Prestige. I wonder how many other trailers were sent out with the 382's like mine?

I have to say I agree with you on liking the 07' boat better. I saw one or two pics of the black boat, and I'm not impressed. I wonder how much more the 07' would need to hit the century mark? Not that I would want to, but it would be neat to have a 100mph reliable 382. Hell right now, I'd be happy to own a 382 period:D

Corey

I'm not into the black/grey or the tribal graphics on the '08, but the blue carbon fiber dash sure is sweet.

Actually saw 92 mph with a full tank of fuel and 5 people with additional race/rescue gear on board. Bleed off some fuel and take the rear bolsters out and you might lighten it up enough see 95 mph ... :D
