Greg Olson ran 192
 

Greg just ran 192. That man has all of my respect to do it in a 33 Elim.
Eddie

Wow wonder what the gps was, since Romers was 198.

That is flat out impressive, do u know the HP #s Eddie?

Yup... crazy stuff.

they were saying 1800s in the live broadcast chat

That is incredible, good for him. Outstanding number.

Watched it online. He was hauling the mail!

Congrats!

It was an awesome run, congrats to them:)

Big balls for sure. Congrats!!!

Saw it live. That boat and setup is unbelievable.

Congrats!

Congrats to Greg Olson and Gary Teaque of GT Performance.
No one there will beat that number.

Dayum!

Greg Olson

Interview with Greg via speedonthewater.com...congrats to Greg and Gary Teague...

I don't know whats crazier-192 in a 33 ft cat or 142 in a 28 ft nordic-HOLY SMOKE!!!!

That does take some larger than normal stones for sure....

Incredible speed!

148 in the 28 Nordic SS Sun morning :cartman:

I didn't realize that Nordic made Cats, I thought that 142 run was in a V-HULL, still impressive though!

Outstanding Run by Greg.... 192mph in a 33 footer, WOW..!

WOW !!! IMPRESSIVE #'s !!!!! Hats off to all the boats mentioned above

Not to knock all the Skaters and MTI's, but what a accomplishment for a center pod boat that is not a true cat...
I am the proud owner of a Eliminator and it nice that Greg and Eliminator is getting some good notoriety. Congrats to the whole team at Teague Performance and to Eliminator for building a great boat. Great job guys-

Awesome runs by both boats! Brass balls for sure!

X2 :evilb:

It is a great job and a great run. I wonder what a smaller 32 Skater would run with the same power. All of the Skater's and MTIs each year in the shootout are 36 and up. Never seen a smaller 32 Skater run with that kind of huge power.., so it takes the bigger cats a little longer to get going on the 1 mile course.. Olson's boat had twin 1800hps for the run, would be curious too see what a 328 Skater would run with the same power..

Great Job GT performance and Eliminator, outstanding run!

A few years ago, Leon Dereberry of Dereberry Performance marine of Lake Texoma ran his B-yond Reason 32 skater at 172 mph if I'm not mistaken. So there is one comparison for you to research out.

Just Kudo's to a 33 Eliminator is all I'm saying---

Its an outstanding run, I agree. That is a great looking and handling 33 Daytona...!! I was just saying that a similar size Skater would run 190+ too with that same power. MTI doesn't make a boat that small. Romer ran 191 in a 388 with Brummett 1500s( I think) much less power, larger boat.

Anyways, it was a great run by Olson! 192mph Wow..!! I was hoping to see him run again today, but it didnt happen..

The 32 wide body out east with JC power was deep in the one seventies i believe. I heard a couple rumors about the Eliminator today though. One: it was running E-85 ethanol and two: hes wife took the keys after the last run lol.

Are those basically just drag engines that were built for that one event or is this something that will last for a while in his boat for pleasure boating?

Congrats to Greg Olson - GT Performance - Eliminator Boats.

We were tied off front line right by the finish line. To see that boat run 192 in person only 100 feet away was an incredible experience. I had a friend on the docks at Capt Rons that said his wife took the keys. If that was me I would have taken my wife into my cabin and had "relations" with her just to show the MTI and Skater boys what a real catamaran was capable of. Center Pod what? Oh and also grab a beer from my cooler down front on the way back out!

TOP GUN BABY....It is an Eliminator Nation!

Yes they will last a couple runs LOL! Good question ?

For the run the engines were set to 1800hp per engine, and running on E-85 fuel, set to run "hard". Now they can probably be detuned to be more pleasure boat friendly, but they were drag motors for that 192mph run.

Mr Olson You win in so many ways. Thank You for Your perfect run an for not running again. You thanked God for Your perfect run an it was perfect. I respect You in so many ways. After I read what You said after the run. I really think You had more. Who cares ? Iv'e read over an over again that a 33' is ass heavy. 36' is faster. Well I guess if You know how to balance a boat an get the water Your looking for You can do beautiful things. I don't know anything about what You just did. But it was beautiful. Thanks to You an God Bless Your Famly. Artie

Nice to see E-85 being adapted into the marine world. I have been running it in my corvette for 3 years now and the power it makes, and cooling properties are amazing for a $3 per gallon fuel.

I had assumed that G.O. was running 110 or 116 octane race fuel. To hear that he made a 192 pass in a center pod, full cabin, open cockpit boat is AMAZING on gas that you can get from a pump that costs $3 to 3.29 per gallon. Even more impressive!

I talked to Greg and his wife at the docks at Capt Rons and at the Camden. Both are a class act and it couldn't of happened to a nicer guy. Congrats to you both.

It was a very sweet looking run...you could tell it was a fast pass that boat looked like it was on rails... Congrat's Greg awesome run...

I was wondering when someone was going to bring up the center pod thing.....:poopoo:

Hats off to Greg. That run was amazing.

:ernaehrung004:Amazing run. Congrats to Greg and GT. Very few engine builders can make that kind of power and make it live. But even fewer have the stones to drive it.
Thanks for the show.
