Glad to see that you have made to the Great Lakes Grand Prix in Michigan City and I'm sure the promoters and the fans will be treated to a great show. Good luck guys.

Back on topic...
When you're finished with your emotional mood swings and not a moment before, because we all know how easy you get traumatized ....please explain why JBS told TM the turbines blew but would not provide TM with either the Racepak data or the "pigtail" which would have told the whole story about how and why the engines failed.

You guys sound like you blow each other.

All I can say right now is that it must be pretty bad if TM and mystic offered me "free" repairs and I didn't take it.Dont worry-everyone will see the data,video,and failure analysis report soon enough.

Michigan city-the boat is running better than it ever has-so much so that I'm realy wondering how I ever drove it before-it was purely suicidal.All the I'll handling effects from ****ty inconsistent unmatched junk turbines are a thing of the past for JBS racing.thank you to everyone involved in helping us-All JBS crew members,James Gresham and PPS,And Skater

A great response from Lady GaGa's most gifted impersonator. LOL!

Big difference when you have FAA Certification.


Good to see that Jim is becoming a rock star

JBS - I guess the new FAA turbines made too much power for the prop shaft - LOL!

Really not funny, despite our bantering about racing in general I feel bad for you guys no one should have such a run of bad luck - you just can't seem to catch a break.

I have to give these guys credit....they ran the boat hard today! There were easily 3 - 4's out there as we were out watching on our boat today and despite not having alot of competition they still ran hard. Good job guys!!!
