Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

Good Article......OK Magazine :rolleyes:

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

I hope you did not forget to wear your Oklahoma National Guard uniform and the medals you won defending Oklahoma from Texas during the interview...

I also hope you did not wear your aluminum foil hat and 1960's TV rabbit ears on your head, that would of obviously revealed too much of your brilliance.

JC,

You ran in that 28 Manta? That thing was SICK! FAST as hell in ANY WATER! :cool:

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

Built the engines in it from 1994 to present.I raced in the boat from 1992 to 97 and Armed and Dangerous too.The 2 best sounding race boats to date.

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

WOW! You guys ran the livin' snot out of that thing! That boat ran like no other vee bottom foot for foot! Absolutely incredible! I ran next to you many a day runnin in the old Pro-Stock Class! Small world isn't it? :cool:

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

Is it being raced now? Or is it a pleasure boat? What name/colors?

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

What boat in pro stock class?pennzoil,Blackduck?

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

The boat is down by Fountain in NC preserved :cool: the one with the black cover

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

PENNZOIL

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

Who owns it?

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

Sgro owns it.Joe Latona originally bought it.He wants to poker run the boat this coming year.You raced with Nicky?

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

I always felt that Fever was the best raceboat...all classes...in Offshore History. It had a very long career in multiple classes...and ran incredibly well in the roughest conditions.

It should be restored and taken to Antique Raceboat regattas...as the best that Offshore has to offer.

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

Yup, I like to describe racing with Nicky the same way George Orwell began "A Tale of Cities".... :rolleyes:

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

I also raced Offshore B in INFERNO and UNLEASHED. Bruce Kreimier was by far the BEST and MOST PROFESSIONAL person I have ever run a boat with. I would run any boat, anytime with Bruce, and would gladly have him run with me! :cool:

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

I feel the same way about Joe and Joe.Felt totally comfortable with them in the boat and we raced in 8 footers alot. :eek: :cool:

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

Those Y-pipes in Armed and Dangersous certainly gave it it's unique sound...it was awesome.

That boat certainly did run well...but not for long :) From the stories I heard, the boys used to cockail it the night before a race, beat the balls off it and by the time the first or second lap came, it was broke...not to mention it had more airtime than dick clark on american band stand :)

I also remember watching a tape of that boat absolutely smoking by everyone at the start...and then everyone turned...at the turn bouy...everyone except Uncle Al...although I don't think he was in the boat then...he went straight :) he was quite a character...said what was on his mind. I forget his son's name...what's he up to these days?

RIP Al

Re: Our Own T2x in Powerboat Mag!!
 

Uncle Al had some wild times :drink: :drink:
