Default LOTO Shootout

Hey Guy's,
For those interested I won class(single engine 27' no blower) at 92 mph. I was loaded for bear thinking the velocitys were going to make a show. Top speed was a little dissapointing. I coulden't get a clean pass either day because of the rollers at the end of the coarse.

The better news is at Hardy Pond last weekend I showed a hair under 98 mph. I got to woop on some cats, that put a smile on my face.

I'm not sure how much power it's making now but when I had the blower on it I went 101 with 950 hp.

Im not sure but Leo Wiesman(friend of mine) went 100 in his 26 velocity. He's seen 106 gps on a local lake.

Im running a bravo drive that has been modified. Good luck with your project and please keep us posted.
