You were DEFINITELY throwing her into turns hard. I was watching in awe. Great video we have from the best spot in all of KW other than a chopper:

You can really see it at about the 2:10 mark.

Cool! Just curious, how long was the course? Looks like only a couple miles?

Can you help the world understand how that can that be factual, when your average lap speeds was only: 96.5 ( 77.11, 108.98 & 102.96)

Since the Superboat Extreme class winner was limited to a Max Speed of 117mph, and the winner had an average lap speeds of 95 mph , it make is a mathematical mystery ,how you could be going into a "corner at 150mph".

Your boat looks amazing with the paint job, congrats to Visual Imagination
Does it really matter if the 150mph comment was not accurate? The owner was proud of his achievements and he should be. Have you ever heard a hunter or fisherman describe their prizes. Thanks to all the racers for spending a "boatload" of money so us spectators could have a great time in KW.

We didn't have big power, only Mercury 1200's. But he set that that boat up to handle, and handle it did! Mark Boos with Precision Marine couldn't have been better at giving us some reliable power, It was great!

Thanks to Mark Morris at Visual Imagination, we looked as good as we ran.

Thanks to everyone that helped us so much, I truly am blessed!

WE WILL BE BACK!

Randy: Nice Job at KW. It is a beautiful boat. Look forward to see your boat , around at LOTO next summer

The average speed that you speak of is just that, we are going into the corner at 150, leaving the corner around 70mph, then you have to build momentum again to get up to the 150mph speed, so your average is going to be around the 115, I assure you, we were seeing speeds of 150 down the long straits. Hope that helps you understand.
