Does it matter? These guys went out there and worked all weekend to better their speed every run. What a number to put up in that boat, absolute wizards of speed!!! Kudos to this awesome father and son team! The little guys have put the big dicks on notice!

I spent some time chatting with both Jason and Dennis at the award ceremony, and would echo that they are both first class professionals and the award is a small token of this incredible accomplishment,,,,,,,, 165mph in a older pleasure V bottom!
We all know that a Kilo run is completely different than a 1 mile shootout,, but they deserve to be recognized for there talent, skill and dedication in this project.
I am confident that if they keep raising the bar for V bottom boats, it will stimulate others to look seriously at there mouse trap for the future. Our team will be going back to the drawing board to keep up with them ,,,,,
CONGRATS,,

I think it's amazing. The fountain "catkiller" had comparatively unlimited resources/technology race teams working on it and a lighter race boat lay up...and looking at the boat it is a BEAST...Huge boat flat out getting it...Just Amazing!!! Huge Accomplishment IMO.

Could you imagine if they had one of those.

Apparently they have the right boat already. Imagine if they had an enclosed cockpit on it how much more speed they would have.

i couldn't believe how BAD of a run they could have, one of the runs what hopping, bouncing, chine walking, looked about to crash. what they do is so dangerous, so on the edge of control. but they make what ever changes and cause all sorta jaws to drop. shame this last run was done while on commercial break for the live feed
