It was a ride that I'll never forget. 
All that I can say is that....IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was unbelieveable how the speeds obtained felt so effortless. In my opinion (just like last year), MTI stole the show. The new Bud Select turbine boat and the Mecedes boat were the coolest stuff there.
Thanks again to everyone!!

Wow...this is making me feel a lot better about my recent purchase of a cat. The buyers remorse is quickly fading, just don't mention insurance and I'll stay in that state of mind.

Yep, I met Little g and G-spot at last years shootout. It's hard to meet nicer people than them!!!!
I will confirm that the gps recall did say 130. Not bad for twin 700's!!
