If I knew you were going to attach your throttle box with sheet rock screws I would have backed "the other guy."

You would have taken him, next time come see me for some 1/2" stainless bolts.

Next time bring a roll of duct tape and tape the throttles to your leg :D

There is no doubt you would have beat John and Jerry even though it looked like they had the boat dialed in. I can't wait for the next match up.

Re: Kean Racing

At the start, Scott mistook us for an aircraft carrier, and tried to land on our deck. I didn't think we had enough room for a 24' Pantera in the boat. So I waved him off. Scott then tried to land on Firewater's deck and must have scared the hell out of him because Bob took off like a bat-out-a-hell for turn 1. :D :D
Scott was right behind us on the first lap, not bad for having to steer and throttle while holding the broken throttle box against the gunale with his knee in 4-6 footers. Once the throttle box got tangled into the steering wheel, he figured that was enough.
Big air, Big fun, Kean Racing Team, kickin' it old school. :cool:

Re: Kean Racing

I don't think I could have kept up the pace Bruce and Goumada ran even with out breaking. I sat at the start finish line and watched the rest of the race and they put on an impressive show as well as the rest of the class

Re: Kean Racing

I ran a 28 Skater at the St Pete worlds a few years back and on the second day (ROUGH) the throttle box came loose. Dave was holding the box with his left hand and throttling with his right. I was quite a ride! We finished the race though. If you can't through bolt it 5200 it.

Re: Kean Racing

This is some funny chit. I love the Aircraft carrier part. Maybe Scott should get some lessons landing from Allen Cambell. (ret. fighter pilot)
