Delaminated Typhoon
Randy & Glenn have a big ugly gash in their Black Beauty. Delaminated down to the foam core. The boat is unusable. It needs to be brought back to Kryptonite and repaired, It will not be ready in time for St. Pete.
I talked to Randy and he is planning to run White Typhoon in St. Pete, “even if that won’t get me any points.” Way to go, Randy!
After discussing this with APBA officials, he might have a chance to get points after all.
APBA General rules:
"RULE 8 REPLACEMENT HULLS (Lost or Damaged Boats)
Should the registered hull become damaged, lost or destroyed, (as certified by three (3) ORC Commissioners or approved marine surveyors, in writing, at the expense of the owner), it may be replaced by like kind only for completion of that racing season or, if damaged, until restoration of the original hull by the second Pro-Series race following such damage. "
White Typhoon is more than a “like kind” – it’s the identical Kryptonite hull, just 5 years older. It also has the HP500 EFI. Racing this engine in St. Petersburg would provide interesting input for the Great Engine Debate.

He knows, BH. And he is a good friend. Don't worry.
I own a Kryptonite myself. It's built like a tank. Even a tank has some scars after a big battle.
And the Battle At Fort Lauderdale was one for the history books.
