here I plan on entering some of these pocker runs, thats why I haven,t been advertising too much about my boat. They wouldn,t let me run the 26' Howard last year, said it was to small!! I mention that the only boat That I see that could beat me was the big Skater "Tom Cat"

Blown 1100 ,
Outdrives ?
I was joking about the Pete Jackson gear drive, around here you see them on allot of the "old timer street rods" , they love the whining sound... kind of like a red neck supercharger
I've never heard of one in a boat , I would assume a Jesel belt drive is the way to go.
JimV ,
Very impressive looking motor.

Mike,
I got the opportunity to drive Eliminator 219's 26 Howard right after he brought it back from Teague. I finally figured out that Eliminator 219 is the same guy and I figured he must be an Eliminator owner, duh. He is preparing for a grand entrance for this season. From what I know about Les he likely does have a 120 plus mph Eliminator Daytona. He gave a clue about the one used for prop testing in the Oct '01 Hot Boat magazine. I cannot find that issue so I can only guess his boat is a 28 or 33 Daytona. As for which Skater Tomcat, I have no clue, but the two I have read about are baaaaad aaaass!!! Not to many gonna beat them.
I will race them through the 1/4 mi from a dead stop. Does that count?

sure does
tomcat and Scotty Cannon (Oakley Funny car driver) raced last summer. It takes a little while to get that big cat up and going. Scotty has a 25 Talon with a pro mod motor and about a 500 shot of NOS.

Cannon has all of the bases covered.
Has the 36 Skater, which really makes him top dog. Then he has the bad ass Talon for the occasional smart ass that wants to race a 1/4 mi drag. Oh to have generous sponsers must be very nice
I know, I'll challenge him to beer races. Those four years at Purdue will come in handy after all. I'll bet that pro mod motor has a wicked solid roller in it!!!! What is the compression and what kind of fuel does he run? Bravo Drive?

He's a true drag racer
He doesn't have the Skater just the Talon
Tom had the Skater and at the same time he had a 28 Skater with built triple 2.5's on NOS. Cannon raced that boat also and bet the 28. Cannon beat the 36 and then ran out of juice and the Skater came on strong and beat Cannon. It would have been fun to see what would have happen if Cannon would have not ran out of juice

Solid lifters,Toys for gearheads!!
Craig and other quater milers
you really said a mouthful, Tom cat is one bad ass!!
also take your pick as to which one of them!Both Tom Cats
I really dont want to mess with. You going from a start or Even at a roll could eat them up with your water rocket for a quatermile.However, get out of the way shortly after the quater of a mile you dont want to be too close as they go by, the wake and tail could drown you!!! Only kidding, I know if you could see them in action you would be impressed, I know that I was..
By the way, dont need someone to hold the radar gun this year, Installed GPS!But sure have room for you and a friend to go along, should be a great time anyway!!
Keep in touch!
