Well you have to remember that Mike is Dustin's brother in law... So biased is an understatement!!

Ps- love your product Dustin, its the best around. But Reggie is the man. And to say your test runs exceeded the record, an then not going out to prove it but 10 years later, just shows how the proof is in the pudding and not what comes out of your mouth. My posts are not meant to be harsh, just all in good banter, just like friends at a bar rooting for the opposite teams! It's all good. And if all of us were drinking beer and not on these sites, in person it would be all in good fun.

But saying stupid stuff like a tail between there legs is flat out incorrect and disrespectful.
What's next- your gonna tell us that OL didn't want to race back in the sports hay day when winning meant something and Fountain Dominating.... Because OL would have won anyhow... Damn it's funny with the people on here that never played competitive sports at a level high enough where they actually started keeping score... Say age 5!! LMFAO!!

If that is the scoop, it's sad. I agree with precision details

-Publically come out and say you are faster
-Show up to race and lay down a number faster than Fountain, that only you have seen
-Break down and forced to go home
-Let Fountain hold the record, bragging rights for 10 years even though you know your boat runs faster
-Let Fountain make an embarrassing video about you and your ride, just ignore it for 10 years even though your boat is faster it will add to the drama


I love Whipple chargers, and the programing work you do Dustin. But that might be the most biased story I have ever read. But do understand loyalty, and I am sure there are a lot of details that were left out. You have to admit, if this happens, it should be a great race no matter who wins.

Maybe Cig and JT should enter again as well?

You guys are all bench racers and dreamers, you are rooting on a ghost there is no more fountain as you knew it. Wake up that's the reason why there is still an OL .they have a lot of new things on the table, with the record or not OL's existence does not revolve around this record or any other for that matter.
Keep rebuilding your crusty old fountian's till they don't exist anymore .

The thing that all you cheerleaders refuse to see is that beaks are yesterday and outerlimits is the future....

hmmmm....OL business model still working today, fixing to attempt to redeem an embarrassing moment in history and making progress on boat design over past 10 years


..how's those new fountains being built doing?

side bar ( I have the utmost respect for the accomplishments of Reggie and the Fountain boats...not just for the kilo record)


now if Reggie shows up with old fountain and wins again I will be forced to eat my words...LOL
