Tomlinson's My Way Shatters Shootout Record with 224-MPH Run
 
Bill Tomlinson and Ken Kehoe brought home the Top Gun honors after running 224 mph to win the 2013 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout in My Way. Read speedonthewater.com's exclusive interview with the teammates...

Mr. Tomlinson showed what a true Top Gun is supposed to be - definitely set on his goal, came prepared, gracious and humble at the same time. It was very good to see that he put his entire team front and center at the end to take their share of the accolades - very respectful.

How Canadian!

Well, this should finally settle the "who is faster, MY WAY or AQUAMANIA?" debate......

Wow, that's some very impressive numbers! Hats off to everyone involved,

Pretty sure that was never actually a debate. Can't compare T-53's to T-55's

I have to agree with you. My Way and Aquamania are not in the same league.

Fair enough, but this is a results-oriented business... ;)

Crude Intentions 08-26-2013 09:14 AM

And I agree with you too. My Way is an absolute incredible machine. I have been watching it run 1000 islands for years (Skater, Outerlimits and the current Mystic). He is a down to earth nice guy as well. Was watching him fuel up on Sunday after the Poker run a couple weeks ago. Gotta love being able to pump your boat fuel out of a tank in the back or your truck!

I would love to see a cockpit cam running down the course at 224mph.....just to get the same picture as Bill and Jason see the world blurr past.

Very true for sure! One would not expect Rick and Greg to make an appearance at the Shootout any more than one would expect Mr. T to show up at the world finals ready to have at it. One is a race boat, one is a ultra fast mofo pleasure boat. I have had the pleasure to see both in action over the years, both deserve the highest of credits for what they have achieved. Two very Bad Azz boats!!!

Congrats to Mr. Tomlinson for one very bad azz run!!!

skydog 08-26-2013 07:00 PM

Wow thank u wow wow wow!!!!!!

wwolfe 08-30-2013 08:54 AM

very well said RaggedEdge...agree both are unbelievable boats iwth two different purposes. Cant wait to see the next Aquamania.........

Anyone know if My Way plans to return for 2014? Sounds like the Qatar Mystic is running this year.

According to this, My Way will not be going to the Shootout
