SLW that I would pay to see! I actually think there are a few hundred members on here who would pay to see California Kid PokerRun388 on a tube behind your bad azz Skater.........LOL

Blume will get him the proper safety gear with Skater written on one side and Teague on the other.

I give him all the credit in the world for actually meeting Blume, Teague, and anyone else he has commented to.
It has been entertaining at times.

You might then want to go with our new port injected manifold and our massive 6" intercooler! We can do whatever with the PCM and keep smartcraft so thats an option.

Did Blume post the pic yet of us and PR388??

Congrat's Gary,,, weren't you a lil worried when you saw that little green hot rod M31 out front w/ those 1350s...:drink:

Good run Gary.......boat was definitely hooked up and hauling a$$.
Congrats to the guys driving the green DCB as well.....I've driven a lot of small boats at high speeds but 176 in a 31' takes the cake.....definitely a big set of brass ones

DC

I didnt have time to be worried.I felt very confident that i would catch and pass him.My boat was on rails because we ran negaive trim to keep the nose down.My on board video makes it look like we were out for a sunday drive-except at the start.

Tony drove that boat like he stole it and the cops were chasing him.He wished he was in a 40 skater on the way back.
He told me that he thought he was going over with all the lake wash from boats going both directions.
He is a great guy and the best thing to happen to DCB in years as far as a employee goes.

Gary, can u post that on board video for us?...

what happend at the start...?

I was not aware that you had such a manifold available. I actually wanted to keep the Merc intake due to the direct injection and use of 16 injectors. I know the intercooler maybe less than ideal, but it's a pretty neat set up and I already own it, meaning manifold, injectors, intercooler, and all related plumbing.

Albert Haynesworth took off followed by ZR48 mti ,then the two DCBs-basically a chain reation to Albert leaving.I then took off and passed the 2 MTIs and the orange DCB at pilot rock and the green DCB after steamboat cove.It took a while to get that 40 rolling.:drink:

Gary, again congrats on the run....It was a pleasure catching up with you.

Tank

Nice Work Gary!... Hey, what happend to Mike Bobbit (40 Skater) and Chip's 388...? didn't see them in any clips...
Did they breakdown?.....

Chip broke...Mike injured a motor last weekend and couldn't get it ready in time for the run. He'll be back next year though...I heard a rumor he may drag his bad azz 40 Skater to LOTO too.

Hey tank,, Gary, Chip and Mike all possibly taking their Skater's to LOTO....

What's gonna be left for me to take pics of at SCOPE LB Poker run Aug 27/28....all the west coast guys going to LOTO....:drink:

That's what I hear....All and more are heading to LOTO this year.

buy the blowers and i can machine you an adapter plate.

Cool!! Congrats on a great run!!

Tank-nice meeting you and your wife .Maybe we can get SCOPE to plan a poker run that doesnt conflict with LOTO.Even Al Burns is going back to LOTO with his "out of control" skater.

We'll see you out there! Planning on being there for the shoot-out to root for the west coast!:drink:

By the way, the SCOPE board was gracious enough last year to change their date as to not conflict with Lakeracer's plan to hold a poker run at the San Diego Bayfair that would have conflicted with the original poker run date. They chose the new date last year, only to realize it conflicted with LOTO. There's issues with getting the docking for the participants boats for SCOPE (only so many opportunities to do so). I think if the date's not changed this year is will have dramatic affect on the SCOPE event. That's 4 big contenders just off the top of my head (plus Bobbit may take another SCOPE member with him, so that's 5 boats). I'd like to see the SCOPE event changed too so more can attend. I'll run your OL, you take the skater....;);)

Should have arranged a 40 to top speed flag drop race. Let's see who would win then...

Yep, and the worst thing to happen to Elim. Definitly has balls to run that boat like that. Says a lot about the quality of the boat though as well.

That green DCB runs like a raped ape. Having been in it at 170 and going from 70 mph to 170 mph in 19 seconds, I can assure you, the torque level is impressive. I had a long conversation with Dave and JT (while Tony worked on selling boats:drink:) the day before the poker run. All are very modest, down to earth and just cool guys that have no illusions of grandure. They went to run and to have fun but knew Gary would be a major contender. I don't think anyone doubted that. And as a matter of fact, Gary was awarded the "Mayors choice award" on Sat. night for his excellent commitment and focus on the Desert Storm events.

Tony did an excellent job safely running the Green Machine but it does handle AWESOME! Listen to Teagues eval of the boat at the 2:19 mark...Pretty much sums it up. It's a shame the boats didn't get to compete in the shoot-out. That would have been a great show.

Bottom line....Aint no shame in either's game. Excellent showing by both.

Congrats on a great run,
Now lets see that video.

Sean Moore (LICK THIS SKATER) ha sit and it condensing it and will post it soon.

The ol was on track to be first to the island 4 years ago when 5 miles away a blower belt came off.It flat crushes the swells in the ocean.Next time you are in newport-stop by .I miss doing the SCOPE run as it is in my backyard.

I agree Gary, Tony is awesome!

Nice job Gary! Congrats on a great run in a beautiful boat! :coolcowboy:

And thanks to that Keith guy for some good video work. ;)

jordy

That's exactly what the shootout would have been (30mph to top speed) had it not been blown out.

Agreed!

Shocking!!! :lolhit:

Just finishing it now. Ours has dual injectors as well, same one works, but it flanges out to a 671 pattern so we can use our massive intercoolers instead of that narrow stock one.

Let me know when you'll be in town and plan to run. I'll be down there in a heart beat.

Gary, I'll call you thurs if I can meet up... Were u spending the night in Newport.? will u be around in the evening, after 7 ?
