I appreciate the kind words but I've followed this thread from the beginning and have spoken to Tyson on several occasions so anyone that knows him knows he doesn't need any championship credentials to prove the amount of thought, planning, engineering and dedication he and others have put into this build.

I wish there were more like him that had an interest in NASCAR bc as all of know and realize, good hard working help is very difficult to find these days. The millennials are a far cry from the working class I grew up around.

Cash Bar- that would be an inaccurate statement, in fact you'd have lost $$ on that bet. I don't even like being in pictures.

Steering indicator adapter:
The steering cylinders have a 7" stoke but the heads up indicator only has a three inch stroke so we had to make a lever to convert the 7" to 3" with as little of play as possible.

If anyone is really bored after stuffing their face full of turkey today here is a 40 minute time waster to get you away from fighting with your mother-in-law.

Video of testing the boat a couple days ago when it was 28 degrees outside.

Sure looks like Lake Macatawa. So, why not venture out into the the big lake?

Impressed and a bit worried that you are launching/running this monster solo. No support crew?
