If so that is sick!

Are there any pics of that Skater anywhereor is it new?

I make Vern's a regular stop when I'm in Havasu, I have to tell everyone the first time I wandered in and talked to Vern he was super nice and spend over an hour of his valuable time shooting the breeze with me and gave me some leads when I was selling a pair of speedy drives. Great guy and great reputation!! IMHO.

Never had anyone ask me to dial out that blower surge


Love the sound of blower surge!!

Here's Romer's old 388, this sound never gets old, right?

Predators in the background in this video, maybe you were there?

A similar setup to the blue 388, right?

Very cool! I wish that video was longer though, as soon as Romer fired up the 2nd engine, the video stopped. Bummer that it didn't continue.

I'm gonna try to take some video this year at DS, of some of the Skaters or MTIs launching. I love the sound of them at the ramp!
