That was before I had any grey either in my hair, or beard. Don't have a lot of grey, but a little is peeking through.

Whats with the Oldsmobile stickers???

Re: 10 years ago
 

Jc perf...Fever...ttt that boat ran real hard you guys had stuff figured out...what ever happened to the team?

Re: 10 years ago
 

The boat was a 28 ft Manta.I built the two small blocks in it.They used Olds[winston cup] style engine blocks with 18 degree Dart heads.They made 730 HP@ 7400.The boat ran 103 with TRS drives.

Re: 10 years ago
 

Joe Sgro Has kept racing with Peter Meyer to date in Instigator.I went to race Armed and Dangerous.

Re: 10 years ago
 

I raced in Manhattan in 2003.That was my last race.I raced my 32 Activator with Anthony Perry.We ran a 40 Skater in the poker runs called Fever.It was a race boat though.Wasnt that enjoyable with the full canopies.

Re: 10 years ago

Re: 10 years ago
 

We can eat till midnight right.I will eat nothing from now till the summer.This way the boat will be faster. :D :D

Re: 10 years ago
 

Hey Byrd, If you went to a race in the late 80s, there were always two yellow boats out there kickin serious ass.Starchaser and Fever.

Re: 10 years ago
 

wow, cool stuff,
10 years ago i was cruisin round in a lil 13 whaler thinking i was the shiznit ( cuz i was)

Re: 10 years ago
 

I was on my lake lice 13 years ago :D :D

Re: 10 years ago
 

What kind of hull is in the background, A-911? Is that a 22' Velocity? "A" class was a great class back then-small and affordable boats. I bet an "A" boat back then, was more affordable then a P5 boat now.

Re: 10 years ago
 

It was a 22 Velocity with an inboard.I have never seen one with an inboard.

Re: 10 years ago
 

A team way ahead of its time... :drink:

They either won or they broke.

Usually the drive was the weakest link...

Lady L with Peter Meyer was serious competition for Fever. It's so cool how the two competitors came together as one and are still racing today! They have got to have set some kind of a record as the longest ones racing in the sport....

Re: 10 years ago
 

I ran this boat 1n 98 when Joe and Peter got the Fountain.

Re: 10 years ago
 

Sharkey got some old picks of you in Shockwave or other raceboats from back in the day?

Re: 10 years ago
 

Here was the 1st boat I was in with them before the Mirage came into the picture.

We won the Atlantic City race after I was asked to race with them with 30 minutes notice... :drink:

Re: 10 years ago
 

Mass. Race in 1990

Re: 10 years ago
 

Atlantic City with the Mirage. I'm on the left when I still had hair.... :( .

Re: 10 years ago
 

Point Pleasant Race, just minutes prior to blowing an engine... :rolleyes:

Re: 10 years ago
 

My first boat race experience 1978.Im the little **** in the middle

Re: 10 years ago
 

The Hustler, the last boat I raced in with them in Key West. 1994 or 1995 :confused: Key West causes memory loss.... :drink:

Re: 10 years ago
 

Did you race in the Hustler.I remember Rich and Mike Fiore rolling that boat.

Re: 10 years ago
 

Yes. I was in it for the World Championships in Key West. By that time they had some set up time on the boat, but I don't think Rich was ever confident in the boat after the few experiences he had with it.... The Fountain was the next boat for him.

Re: 10 years ago
 

Rhode Island 1990

Re: 10 years ago
 

The Hustler was as fast as Fever if you remember the Kilos at Erie PA.We went 91.8 and you guys went 91.6 i think.

Re: 10 years ago
 

I wasn't out there for that so I wouldn't remember...

Re: 10 years ago
 

:eek: Nice air :eek:

Re: 10 years ago
 

cool pictures

Re: 10 years ago
 

It seems back then and even before, the pictures you see had the best air shots. Maybe because we weren't running as fast as today and we fell in alot more holes that would launch us to the sky? :drink:

Re: 10 years ago
 

After blowing so many engines in the prior years, 1991 we finally came out with a few titles from being consistent. We may not have always won, but we were finally finishing races and getting points.
