Re: Milwaukee Race
The Lucas Oil vee was running just perfect. #18 Donzi was trying to catch him in the corners but Lucas just out powered him in the straights and took the checkered flag.

Re: Milwaukee Race
Lucas was just ripping the course up! They sounded good doing it too! Pantera was having some engine problems and never were a contender. Pier 57 fragged a crash box and could only putter around on one engine. The boat with the number 2 on the side is Gordo's boat. They just didn't have the boat as dial in as their competator. Maybe next time.
HP-we had a good time! Unfortinatly, you guys brought over more food than what we had prepared! I think the kids had a really good time. They only slowed down a couple of times! I heard the one was getting pretty skilled at catching frogs. I'll have to try his technique some day. The boat was a no go on Sunday. I had an idea to get it going, and it actually was feasible. We got the distribution block off, but the threads were just too buggered up to seal. We tried tightening the nipple and it just wouldn't seal. Luckly we have a modification of my original idea that WILL work. I should be on the water by this weekend.

Re: Milwaukee Race
Had a great time
Cord, thanks for the get together, was very nice.
I did not bring any food since I eat like less then what a 2 year old does
However, I did leave the Mike's Lemonade to replace Hp's Pabst he took home

Sorry you did not get you boat out, it was a windy day on Sunday.
I will post my pics from Turn 4 and 5 later this week. I still have to get them developed

Re: Milwaukee Race
We chased a starboard side 525 EFI wiring and fuel problem the entire weekend.It was the first time the boat had touched water since the Key West race back in November. We ended up finding a loose ground wire on the motor,then a bad fuel pump regulator. We will be back racing soon.
Had a chance to meet a few OSO members at the race. Very nice to meet you guys.
Want to say thanks to the Innovation Marine guys and the entire APBA staff and few OSO members that work hard trying to locate a fuel pump regulator like Downtown 42', Little Tommy, and a few others.
Regards,
