Re: Dave Scott's Turbine MTI
No comments on my turbine boat at this time but I will say that I expect Tachyon's boat to be much faster this year. Dave and John are extremely dedicated professionals who approach these speeds very wisely - a little more each time. Best wishes to them but most of all, you guys be very safe while testing! Look forward to seeing Dave & John at the races this year. Hopefully, they will even join me for a few Budweiser Selects again!

Re: Dave Scott's Turbine MTI
As a fan, I'm curious at how well the turbines will play out fan wise. I grew up helping my dad work on the rescue sleds and later setting the course for the Columbia Cup in the Tri-cities Washington. We were family friends with Jon Walters who was the first turbine, I believe (Pay N Pak). The turbines were a lot quieter than the Merlin engines and seemed to take a spark out of hydro racing. But then again, the fans are much closer to the boats. The sound of 4 or 5 Merlin V-12's coming down the pike was awesome!!!
By the way, I read somewhere that Callan tests over here in Sanford on Lk. Monroe. Anybody know his schedule or what days of the week they tend to be down there???

Should be a good one this year.
