Testing With The Nutz, Take II
 

While other teams are cautiously testing the waters in tropical climes, the OSSVL Nutz are in the midst of their sea trials in the cool Northeast. Today, they meet at “Mad Dog” Randy’s shop in South Plainfield, in scenic North Jersey. Will Ros gets ready to mount the new round ear 5 blade Hydro, courtesy of http://www.Throttle-up.com

Randy had a little altercation last night. “This happens when you drink and drive,” says the Mad Dog, “let that be a lesson to you.”

Randy immediately proceeds to pour illegal additive into the Wild Card tank.

On their way to the Raritan River, the gang pumps some needed ethyl.

While local street gangs decide that it might be wiser to melt into the background.

This will be our test site for the day. That’s Staten Island on the right, and the Raritan River, home of half of the chemical industry of the civilized world, to the left. No wonder these guys are Nutz. It’s in the water.

Wild Card’s Phantom is the one to be tested today. Here, Larry launches the boat at the Raritan River Boat Club.

White Typhoon is the paceboat today. The Coast Guard immediately boards White Typhoon to look for illegal contraband.
