Image of the Week: White Lightning at Lake of the Ozarks
 

A little Shootout teaser, http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...-of-the-ozarks.

Anyone else getting psyched for the Shootout? If you;re there, please stop by the speedonthewater.com trailer and say hello.

I thought there was a write up coming about the infamous WL and the sightings reported.:evilb:

Me too! Misleading to say the least.

Just a play on words, that guy does it alla time.
Doesn't 177 qualify as any color lightning you want?

I like turbine colored.

LARGE STATEMENT 50

Bimini Challenge 2010

Yeah, it was simple word play. Sorry if you felt misled.

I have not heard of the "infamous" White Lightning (beyond the homemade booze of course), but that doesn't surprise me. There a lot of things I haven't heard of. So please, fill me in.

Anyway, again, sorry if you felt misled. From my end as a headline writer: 1. The boat was fast. 2. The boat was white. 3. The boat went fast during the 2012 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout. Hence the headline. (Of course, I could have called it, "The White Boat Went Fast the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout," but that's a pretty weak headline.)

Cheers.

What was record setting about 177 mph?

For its class

NPCP42

NP = nonprofessional
C = catamaran
P = power added (turbo charger, super charger, etc.)
42 = hull length from 36' to 42' feet

There a bunch of class designations for the Shootout.

Ok, that's what I thought.

No need for an apology, sorry if my post came off as rude. Great thread with an awesome photo as usual.

Oh boy......here goes all the LOTO WL Nut Swingers....this will be entertaining.

would have run 178 without that scum line lol!

This is not the record for the class

Chip Romer = 191 mph same 388 Hull, same class

Dennis Pool won that class at 177 just as Matt said. Romer won that class in 2011 at 191.

Correction noted, much appreciated and now reflected in the text. I should have cross checked the information I was given. Apologies for any confusion created.

Waz the top speed on this top gun?

not a cigarette. Was a knock off of a 41 apache
