On the second drag race it looked like Big Thunder was ahead halfway down the course then the MTI seemed to get it's leg and was ahead by about a boat length or so at the line.

It doesnt sem like a very fair comparison of the two manufactures. most likley a few tons differance weight wise in flat water ?? would love to se mti vs skater drag race with similar size and power. does anyone know if that happened yet ?

I thought that Flight Club was going to run at Loto or was Ron just there to see the Shootout and tip a few with some old friends.

Just saw Flight Club ran 134 MPH, after backing off. Hope Ron can get another run in and up his speed but 134 isn't to bad for a new boat with only a few hours on it. WOW!!!! Dave Scott an John T. ran 196 to break the old record.

Can see the Shootout live on wengradio.com
