[QUOTE=rockstrmkr;2629506]1st Place trophy! Team Outlaw:ernaehrung004:
QUOTE]



Big Dan won first place which was worth more than $14,500 in cash and prizes.

Dan wanted to keep the cash to buy mufflers so he can ride on the Chain-O-Lakes without getting into more trouble. He decided to donate all of the cash to Children's Memorial Hospital.

Thank you Dan by helping us get closer toward a $10,000 donation mark for the 2008 year. You are a class act.

A BIG thank you to Mark and crew!!!:ernaehrung004:

We had a blast:drink:

It sure did get lonley out in front of the pack though:evilb:

Is it true that Farley is the new Chicago bridge inspector?????:eek:

I'll post some pics tomorrow:cool: Hopefully it didn't smell bad enough that the fumes weakened the bridge:evilb:

Official "paid" boat entry count was 52.

Ya know....I locked thru there yesterday and I THOUGHT I saw something floating in the water...dodged around it pretty fast, tho...I didn't need THAT on my beak! :evilb:

Great pics!!

Seen Freedom 1 rolling into LOTO last night when we were heading home.. Looked sharp.

Classy cover don't ya think??
Normally it does not sit outside in rain and the canopy's do leak a little and did not want to get a wet azz.

Gino,
We blew the tailstock on the gimbal and it took out the driveshaft, the bellows and that carrier in the transom assembly. BIG TIME WATER!! We were fine so long as we could keep moving forward. The pumps had no chance to keep up with a hole cutout for the drives flowing water in when we stopped. Towels in the hole helped somewhat at the dock and loaded on the trailer REAL FAST.... I did not know I could run that fast to my truck. LOL.

It was great meeting you and Pinky. You have a great crew of good looking well behaved sons also.

I think I was over served somewhere over the weekend.:evilb:

:evilb:

Nice wheelin Bub!! The boat couldn't have looked better. Good to see you weren't as lonely out there as last year! :evilb:

It was a day for big speeds out there! Hardly ever see the big ol pond lay down like that. I think the thunderstorms chased all of us more than the choppers! Awesome seeing the Chi Town crew!! I was "RunninHot" allllll weekend with Pinky and her two bodyguards :drink:!!!! Tons of fun you guys, can't wait to do it again SOON!!

All the boats looked awesome...but I like a little different and
I have to say I love that 41 Skater..that by far is my favorite to date..

More evening pics

I agree 100%. 4 years ago when we started the event, I remember walking into the Saturday night party not really knowing anyone (except the local Hammond crew). Now, I know most of the people in the room, and everybody I meet for the first time, without fail, is totaly cool. It's good to be the safety dude!

I remember walking into the Saturday night party buzzed & hammered:eek:

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I dont remember a thing :party-smiley-048::circle:

I have a million pictures, but only gonna post a few.

I stopped at the factory to swap the drives on the way up. It looked like a Supercat pitcrew:ernaehrung004: I pulled in at 8am, and at 8:45 I was on the road again. They pulled the tie bar, both drives, reinstalled, and adjusted the toe in less than 40 minutes:drink: So HUGE props the the crew at MTI!!!

I get 2 miles from the factory and the fuel pump goes out(I think). I call Randy and he has his crew pull my truck out of the way and hooks his to it to save the day AGAIN. I can't say enough about how well the MTI family has always treated me:Score-101010:

OK enough with the stories and on to the pictures:cool:

I almost ran out of fuel on the way back, because the station I stopped at was out of diesel.

The E-Dock Monee truck wash:ernaehrung004:
