I was thinking the same thing, thought that it might surprise everyone and be at the Lotto Shootout. I hope Al Jr. never, ever cancels his Dad's dream and breaks that record in Al Copeland Sr's memory.

Yes, we are still moving forward with this project. We have not been doing a lot of testing this summer beacuse it gets so hot here in New Orleans. With 98% humidity and heat index its over 104 degrees somedays. With the tempertures that hot we loose a large amount of horsepower (min. of 1500hp) and its not worth the wear and tear on all the equipment, not mention how much it cost in fuel for each test run. When we test we want ideal conditions, getting opitmum data so that we can make those changes necessary to help us achieve our goal. Thanks for the support, the Copeland family appreciates it.

What is the status? How many speed practice-trials thus far? What is left to de-bug? How fast has the boat gone thus far? If something keeps breaking what is it?
