Watching that nose high video of reggie making his last run ..I could just picture the inevitable chine walk ..But it seemed to fly unusually well for a deep V

I watched the video when I got home and believe me, while it was great, it was nothing like watching that boat literally fly by. There was a tangible excitement in the air and you could feel the vibration of the horsepower all the way down to your toes. As I said standing on the pier so early that morning, there is nothing like the sound of horsepower in the morning!

The echo of that coming down the river is unbelievable.It litterally rattles the whole town of Washington.
