thats an outerlimits thing!they called out all the fountains from sbi to race and got there ass kicked and left before pickwick!

I was there in 2004 I watched Reggie do a smack down on everyone, I also watched the outerlimits get towed away quietly with their tail between their legs and never even tried to run for the record. Bottom line Reggie talked the talk and backed it up Mike did not. Oh and I have never really been a Fountain fan but Reggies work speaks for itself.

This should be a piece of cake for OL. They could have easily done it 10 years ago, had it not been for a mechanical failure.

This should be a great run,1650,s you think? bob bull was running 1350,s as a test bed for quite some time and it appears they were really 1650,s.what do you think,maybe really now 1950,s.these turbo motors are unreal in the terms of pulling power and reliability..turbos are the future I think and mercury has got them dialed in but but a lot of people think they can do more..good luck to the gang going after a new record...
