He's watching.... Don't worry

Maybe they could turn their power down a bit and let Reggie borrow it

I believe that they will break the record and hit 200 MPH and these Sterling engines are not being build for the average boater they are built for 3 purposes, break the speed record and to see how far they can be pushed and to learn all they can from these engines to apply for future motors. Thanks for bringing back some excitement like in the old days.

Who, and what speed approx., was the record held before Reggie clocked the 170+ ten or so years ago?

Just my 2 cents, I think Fountain will get the record and here's why....

The efforts are not down the drain yet...

The team should sit back and have a beer...

Watch their favorite inspirational video...

Never throw in the towel...

Your loyal fans are watching...

Go get that record!

It's not if they will set a new record it's just when. They don't need to rush it again, just take their time and do what they do best.

It's likely the water pick up adjustments I read they had to make in first runs likely stressed the exhaust. These guys are pros and will get it.
