Given the fact that it is now Mid October, I have made some slight alterations to the build. The paint scheme we are going with is that of the Great Pumpkin. I also have Lil R and the RF crew hanging X Mas lights on the 42. It will be entered in the Washington NC Christmas Day Parade...I am hoping for a first place finish.

After the X Mas festivities we plan on lake testing it on NYE and blowing the engines up again at the stroke of Midnight....this way we can be sure to save as much money in fuel in 2012 as we did this year.

Only Joking...I am anxiously awaiting Reggies call to see what speed they got out of it. We probably wont get up there till Mid November now to take it out....or just wait till next spring.

Im sure the RF crew wants it out of their shop...lol.

The motors are dialed in on a Sta-Bil tune...its very technical. We like to run 100% Sta-Bil....just in case.

Reggie, let me know how its going bud.

Thanks !
