LEOPA run today!! ILMOR gets big air
 

Us ILMOR fellas took the 38ZR out to the LEOPA Detroit river run today, and it was a blast!!! With Ian Hawkins at the helm we got some serious air more than a few times. Someone had to have snapped some photos of us runnin. Could you post em if ya got em, we'd love to see some runnin shots!!
Thanks!!

Did you finish the run? We saw you coming in very slow the last mile. Hope everything is ok.

thats funney sheet right there..............

Did anyone run with that Gladiator? It looked FAST.......

I was out on the Detroit River with some friends on Saturday September the 8th between Belle Isle and Peche Island and watched as the boats ran up the Detroit River towards Jacks for a Poker Card. My friends enjoyed watching the boats go by so we went to Jacks to see the boats come out on their way back to the Detroit Yacht Club for Lunch. It was such a great day out that we waited around for the the Poker Run Boats to leave the DYC and head down the Detroit River to Portofino's for another Poker Run Card. It was fun to watch everyone roaring by and we did see the bright red ILMOR 38 ZR Donzi going by but we didn't bring a camera.

Yep!! Just cruised back in. She ran flawless all day. Good times

it was a great day, most of the boats ran really well, even us:cool-smiley-027: the red boat looked great, we love those ilmor's. I don't remember many boats getting a lot of air, it was pretty flat and our newly repaired outdrive appreciated that

Where are all the pictures? Who was first to all the stops?

Here is a pic of the ILMOR Donzi

:D Just ask the boys on the Gladiator who ran with / past them. We brought Mitch's 46 Rough Rider up from Cleveland. Hit 118 and change on GPS recall SOG. Thanks to LEOPRA and Rocky for a great time, we look forward to doing it again in the future.

hey that's our boat in the lower right hand corner against the pole. That picture was in front of the historical Detroit Yacht Club which is a beautiful old world yacht club, we had lunch there. Best value in a poker run, Lunch, dinner, a poker hand, and docking for two nights at the Ford Yacht Club all for $50.00. Lynn Keller, (35 Forumla) won $1,500.00. Rocky, and the Gibralter gang did a great job. Unfortuantely most members are not big on the internet sites so the club is a bit low key. But if you boat anywhere near lower Lake Erie the club is definately worth joining.

There's no doubt that 46 is fast!!!!
It looked awesome up close at 100+
