N.C. Kilos
 

Get ready guys all roads head to N.C. for the Kilo's in a few weeks. Truly the worlds fastest boats will be there with SBI,and APBA both running the Kilo's together.SBI has stated in the past that they have the worlds fastest boats,but after Sarasota it should be intersting with some of the outstanding boats APBA has running this year.With the worlds 2 premier orginazations running head to head,WOW this could be interesting.Good luck to all the teams,and see you in N.C.
Don't forget if you need any help with props contact Julie at Throttle-UP,they will be there.Believe me it make a difference without all of Matts help last year in N.C. we would have never broke the Kilo record.Throttle-UP prides themselves at being the best at what they do,and make to mistake they are.
Also special thanks th Tom at Hydromotive for all his support,and hard work the mans middle name is speed. :blaster:

I may be "nutz", but I predict that Shane and Gary clock in at 94.0 mph.

To beat the man, you have to square off with him "face to face". How 'bout it SVL owners?

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

Where in NC are they running

Thanks

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

Hey Phantom, can we put the Wazzup Hauler next to yours? This way I have a shorter walk or stumble to bed Smitty

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

Julie,
Thanks for all your hard work putting that together,I know you have better things to do in your busy day. It seems like you always go the extra mile for all of us,and just wanted you to know how much you and Matt mean to all of us,and believe me there are alot of teams that I talk to everyday that feel the same way.

Re: N.C. Kilos

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

Mark,
All the info. is on the SBI web.site in the drivers packet.

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

Mark what are you going to do pay $1000.00 to set the P3 kilo at 89.999 MPH?

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

:D :D

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

I dunno it really seems that Kilos really don't mean that much anymore. Other than the Fountain/OuterLimits and Bacardi/Callan rivalry they are kinda pointless. One of the most impressive kilos ot there is Boardmember Ben Perfected at 107 in a NON stepped 30 Scarab Panther. It used to be a big deal every year in Sarasota and it was only like 100 bucks to do it, now it seems like another way to make money at a grand a pop. When they offer the P classes kilo that was when it really lost validity.

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

Outerlimits xXx boat never raced. How does it qualify to run?

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

rio roses never ran superboat vee unlimited either,but reggie claims the kilo record. The last year someone ran that class was popeye's fire water,institgator and a few others with the blower motors.

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

I'm sure that OL has been granted some kind of special double secret probationary invitational qualified status............unless they win.........then they'll be DQ'ed for not being "qualified". :rolleyes:

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

You must know reggie personally!!!!!

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

That's classic. I'm sure Reggie isn't inviting Mike to give him a good ass kicking. He must have something up his sleeve, as I'm sure Mike does too.

Hey, as long as it's heads up racing, who cares.

Phantom, will you be there for the Kilo's on Friday Morning? I can't make it.

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

No Ron, it will be mid-afternoon for me......around happy hour.....coincidence? I think not.

I have been meaning to e-mail you and ask what kind of digital camera you had in Sarasota. I'm researching, and yours looked like a nice one.

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

In Savannah two years ago at the APBA/UIM kilo there were all kinds of water craft that showed up to run the kilo. My understanding was that running the kilo, even if the watercraft had nothing to do with offshore racing, was an opportunity for a watercraft to have a UIM acknowledged speed record for that specific watercraft. There were some jet skis there as well as some other boats that didn't race offshore. So I guess you could run the kilo in whatever you wanted and say you had a UIM speed record, even if that class doesn't exist.

I am sure someone else could give us more specific rules regarding the kilo than me. I also imagine there are both SBI and APBA rules that will play into this since it is a combined event.

In the blue corner, wearing the gold chains and black trunks, the hometown favorite....................Regggggie Founntainnnnn

Letttttssss gettttt readddddy to ruuuuuuumble!

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

Nicely done Phantom but your a week too early.

This should be good!!!! Who's our official OSO on site reporter with either a wireless laptop connection (like that might work in Reggieland) or a cell phone to call someone that can pass along the info on OSO.

Who's it gonna be boyz?????

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

Cash Bar(me) will be there late,late thurs. night. I'm sure I won't sleep in w/all of that happening down the road. I'll have my cell. as long as there is Nextel service there.

Greg

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

Greg,

Not to burst your bubble, but for the last 2 years Nextel hasnt worked in Washington itself. It dies out about 5 miles out of Greenville. Hopefully it'll be different this year, but...

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

There is a new phone service in Washington - its called ReggieTel. More home field advantage....... :rolleyes: :) :crazy:

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

Hey, The Flying Condo holds the world record for a Salami and Mozz Hero on a boat highest outta the water! Anyone wanna go for that record??? After N.C. next Sunday come to Point Pleasant,N.J. to race the following Friday, 8/13/04. Augie

Re: N.C. Kilos
 

Good one Phantom! I will be at work most of the morning and can post results if needed. That is, as long as you can get service down there! I know Sprint works there...
