Default Ready to Race

Spent the day relettering the boat and dialing it in.

We can hardly wait for our first race.

Out on the lake we ran 83 mph, need to work on slowing it down by 3.1 mph.

Only two problems, we have a power steering leak that we need to find in the engine compartment and the fuel pressure is still to high (40+psi). We dialed it down from 60 psi (was on for the whipple charger), but cannot get it lower. Need to replace with a unit that will reduce the flow to 30 psi, very soon.

Rick,
The boat looks great, let me if you need anything else and it's been great working with you. Good luck with your rookie season.

Chris,
It is probably tough to see, but your new logo is right under the air vent on both sides of the engine compartment.

Thanks Augue and Bat Girl.

Bat Girl, so you will be in Benecia? Let me know if you need anything we live about 1 hour away and can help out (i.e. extra cars etc.) We have two Excursions in our crew, and are working to have a 40' Sea Ray at the event for crew and family.

This offer is good for the Pittsburg race as well.

Let me know,
Rick

Rick,
Yes, I should make Benecia. That all sounds great!
I hear the Pittsburg race is a Blast as well. I can't wait to get back out to Calif. again.
I will keep you posted.
