Those braids tho...

I didn't think the new owner of the old Pure Platinum did a bad job considering its a new boat to him + running a drag race for the first time in the 388.

If it was Pyburn, I would have expected more with the new power he's running and experence he has in the Skaters...just IMHO

Yep,
That pretty much jacked with his runs....

I got an incredible urge to eat Pop Tarts!

if there is a news article about swat being called to the pop tart isle, you will know why!

That's on you guys. Every time someone mentioned it in the side chat, someone else would respond with switch browsers and upload adblock plus. I didn't see a single pop tart ad all weekend.

Fill us in

The live streaming. Apparently if you tried watching it in Internet Explorer, you were stuck continuously clicking away pop tart popups. You could pay $3.99 to turn it off, or just switch to chrome or firefox and have it gone.

I was the throttleman for both runs so I can bring clarity to the situation. The power for both runs was the lower engine power setting - many hundreds of horsepower less than Bill used to run. There was a glitch with the valet key that resulted in engine stall when they were plugged in. In addition, we had a sticking trim switch on the port engine which limited the trim angle for that drive. Those who watched the run and heard the commentary know the commentators alluded to the the fact that the rooster was uneven - an easy fix soon to be addressed but it still resulted in a speed reduction. As these issues are addressed, anticipate much better numbers.

I was a little bummed that a certain big green Mystic didn't at least make a run for the fans. In a brief discussion with them "we didn't have race fuel" (plenty of barrels of that sitting on the dock) "we just set up for the poker run:" (that takes a set up?) ..."we didn't bring the proper bring pullys" ...Ok OK got it. ..Maybe next year a little less time getting your matching race shirts together and little more time racing. That aside, fab event as always.
