Ps- he is no Reggie

That boat can't even run 3 races in KW and beat a wore out fountain with little NA 530 single carb engines!btw this past November when the Outerlimits camp found out Peter couldn't race because or blood pressure issues they put Brian forehand in it to try and pull one out. And it still didn't make the podium !

That's what I meant Shaun! I know the factory is busy.
I just think this should be titled sgro, forehand and Jansen attack the record in an outerlimits, with support from the factory

ok how can you cheat as there were no limits on power or boat to start with. bottom line the record is 10 years old and no one has had the balls to even try to break it.
