That is what would have been seen if the video would have continued... and then if it would have went farther, you would have seen us passing them, and staying out in front until, SR throttled back down for the next no wake zone. (As far as the photo being bogus) I don't know what to tell ya.... yes the water was pretty smooth, but sorry to say there was still many reasons to lift.... traffic, water conditions, small currents. When she was going 165+ she was pretty much flying at that point, and Randy was being very very safe with all of us riding with him, and not having harness or any gear. So no it was not pinned all the time. So the motors were up and down a good mount of times. Yes the boat felt very secure and safe.... but lets be real here.... it was 174! Mph at the point of one of the photos. Here is another photo of the dash durring the run, sorry that I didn't post this one the first time, cause it was burry....(shaky hands trying to get the shot, while still holding on) I didn't think anyone would be caring about what the Tachs really said, or even thinking I would put a bogus photo up. http://www.houseofboost.com/temp/DSCN2227_resize.JPG Hope that helps. Sorry like I said, that I didn't put that one up the first time. You can clearly see one motor at nearly 7,000 and the other at 6,200 who knows why the one was biting harder or what, maybe we crossed a wake or something, I don't know. I was just taking photos, and enjoying the ride of a lifetime. EA |
Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
I was at Jacksonville behind Speed Racer and Reggie!
Here are the facts: 1) I saw Reggie take off way too early from the start. Most boats were just coming through the swinging train bridge. Reggie was way in front without any other boats around. He hit the throttles before the fireboats. Most waited until we passed fireboat salute. Reggie had a huge lead BUT THE CATS CAUGHT UP AND HUNTED HIS A$$ DOWN IN NO TIME! 2) Reggie did not slow down for any No Wake Zones or through bridges. This was a poker run not a race. Remember we are trying not to cause any new problems in this sport. Reggis forgot this! 3) Speed Racer PASSED Reggies boat with room to spare at around 170 mph. 4) Three other passengers in my boat witnessed the exact same thing. If you were up front in a boat, keep your opinion to yourself. Signed, LOOSE CANNON 36' NORTECH SUPERCAT |

By the looks of the wash it was no bass boat. Take another close look at SR footage. They repeated the same shot twice. Once before the Fountain and again after the Fountain...... :eek: You will see a bass boat there that they pass. |
Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
Perhaps Reggie will hop in the "helicopta" and show up at LOTO, then again, he might have an appointment with his barba to get his har did that day. :D :D :D
What a ridiculous video. But the point was made, it does have everyone talking and there is no such thing as bad publicity. :rolleyes: |

In post #310 you stated "A lot of you are totally childish. Thanks for a great post Ed." In post #313 I responded and please let me re-post here and replace the word "YOU" with the person I was referring too who is "REGGIE"... I know you are two different people ps: sorry Fevermike but when Reggie(originally referred as "you") consistently acts that cocky in public, then have the balls to hire a video crew to film you talking like that, then edit it, and release it as a promo, you(referring to Reggie) ask for some ribbing.... I think Roy's (Im being a smartass implying Orbison,reggie's look alike) accomplishments are very impressive, I just don't personally respond favorably to his marketing crap I'm truly sorry for all the confusion I will try not to post again while drinking domestic beer :D |

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
This could possibly be the best thread of the year!!
So I feel I should put in my two cents, although it probably has been said already... Yes, I'm only 26, and I'm still in school after almost 22 years (going to be a chiropractor this fall) but I've been around boats all my life, and I've studied how v-hulls and cats behave, from full-tilt running, to stand-still. The video clip shows RR accelerating visciously compared to SR. But this is expected...v-hulls will always hop on plane faster than cats, and given that they both have equal power, RR will dominate off the line. But after a while, with SR riding on that cushion of air and throwing back an impressive wake, it'll take on RR and beat it for top end. Sure, they claim RR is a 180 mph boat. But I'm sure if SR was set up similarly (ie closed canopy, no amenities), it'll clean RR's clock. It comes down to physics of the catamaran on water vs the v-hull. less surface area touching the water per unit of power will equal greater top end. I love boats of all kinds, from sail to power, cats to vees, but it's quite aggressive to call a v-hull a "cat killer". I'm sure at most any poker run in north america, there will be average cats running 100 maybe 120 with stock power. Yes, RR will "kill" these cats, but in all truth its a race boat. what they need is a showdown between Bacardi Silver and RR. Two legititmate race boats (if this was run last year, then both boats would be equally powered...is it still the same this year? I'm not sure) Then again, I would love to see RR against Bill Tomlinson's My Way...That would absolutely incredible! |

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
"Fastest boat in the world"...Nice quote from the vid..
I wonder what the lil bass boat coming up to the bridge thought when RR came through it at full gallop?? FWIW, bridges are no wake zones in Fl. ESPECIALY when a boat is approaching from the other side.. Nice promo video.. Lot's of BS, lots of interesting angles on the shots, and I don't know, did I ever actually see them pass SR other than when they jumped on a plane?? |

Anyway, my take on all this is it's good PR and these threads about Rio and Speed sure have got a lot of people to sign up to OSO and has given us all something to talk about regardless of who agrees and disagree's. :D |

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
How do you even dream up a stunt like this? Where is the inspiration?
"So I was on my way into the office this morning when at a stop light this fat kid and his mom pull up next to me ---on a moped. The light turned green, I floored it and left them in the dust! (Because you know we have the technology to see behind us when going forward (aka mirrors). Hmmmm....how can we apply this to a high speed marine environment???" :evilb: |

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
My point was that bringing a race boat to a poker run was on par with a car racing a moped.

That's how they get all the speed out of the fountain. If Reggie isn't in the boat, then they don't have to drag around all the gold chains :drink: |
Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
I've carefully reviewed the video numerous times. In slow motion you can clearly see in frames 183-187 that his heads moves back and to the left, back and to the left. Obviously, there was another shooter in the grassy knoll.

I tried to scream out but it was too late. It was already on its way. JERRY: I told you! NEWMAN: Wow, it was McDowell. JERRY: But why? Why McDowell? KRAMER: Well, maybe because we were sitting in the right field stands cursing at him in the bullpen all game. :drink: |

If Speed Racer really wants some more of Reggie Fountain.......I think you might be able to find him here????????????????????????????? I think he would welcome all, he has always been very hospitable. |
Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
Thread title, Speed Racer calling Reggie.....well I talk to Reggie and he said SR and anybody else that wanted to run the KILO or the SBI (he even said SR could enter the race and see how he does in race conditions as well as the kilo) race was welcome and said he would personaly see that everybody could run. CAT KILLER, open house August 4th Washington NC. RR and SR on the course at the same time, now that would be cool??????

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
6 Speed Racer (#05)
D: Randy Kent T: Reggie Fountain 6 23:10 100.22 01:00 penalty from the results page of the OSS web site on the St Clair Race :confused: |
Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
? now I am confused

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
Wow. I didn't get that either. I hope someone will enlighten us. Next thing you know the lion will lay down with the lamb, and cats and dogs will become friends. (No pun intended.) :cool:

Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
Driver : Randy Kent
Throttles: Reggie III There is NO way to make that long story short!! :eek: :D |
Re: Speed Racer calling Reggie!
I guess OSS left off the III :D , being somewhat new to offshore I did not even know there was a Reggie III, and yes I can imagine it must be a long story.................... Sorry I did not mean to offend but when I saw Reggie Fountain on the results page, I actually thought maybe someone was making a joke.
