Re: pittsburg race???
We knew those Bat Boats were fast...even sitting still! :D
We run the Key West prop. Only bring it out twice a year. Once for Ventura and once in KW. Find one that works in Ventura, you won't need to test in KW. I predict 4-5 footers in Ventura this year. Your going to have to put one of those big poles on your boat with a red flag so we can see you. J |
Re: pittsburg race???
Jonas,
Are those 30's extra props you have lying around? We should test them if they work I would take them off your hands. I really would be interested in the LH one. The one we ran this weekend did not do it for us! Jim, Come on help a brother out and give me a little guidance on the prop? We have been toying with the idea of putting a strobe on top of the boat, a red flag would be pretty funny, but not a bad idea. We will see what we can do, but the last thing I want is to get run over by one of those big ole cats. I can see the headline now... Cat eats Bat! Rick |

Do you want to buy the BatBoat so I can buy the Extreme Vortec boat? That way you could win every P4 race. Heck you could have won them all this year anyways. The water down the river was pretty snotty, got some great air, roughest water in Pittsburg in 3 years. We are really looking forward to Ventura, any chance you are coming down? would love to have a phantom or extreme,, cant pony the dough though,, its too sketchy who knows whats gonna happpen with the sport if i was on east coast no brainer but out here not enough boats.. i guess put on the lifeline and a helmet for the poker runs.. :D .. thats what the pacific marine crew did at scope.. smart if gonna run like they did.. but chit is that a poker run??? i wont race the new boat,, think its too fast to race and not have a lid. 100++ with no lid racin is in my mind stupid.. would have loved to but its not safe.. i know i was saying we will just go out and drive around but i know i wouldnt if i got helmet and the flag drops. and teague would have bumped me to p2 or if lucky p3,, everyone knows u know.. i really want to do something for next yr but its so up in the air it seems?? |

Rick,
Little dog keeps the power flow'en. If you don't have a problem stay'en in the water, then it's the big dog. Remember, it's about "phoning home" not a speed record. J |
Re: pittsburg race???
Jimbo,
Yes, but do I need a chiauhau or a bulldog!!! I know to leave the Greyhound at home! How little of a dog is the question. Based on what I have been told, there will be plenty of airtime in the coming weeks. You are killing me! |
Re: pittsburg race???
You are more than welcome for the shirts, I have owed them to you, Jenn and the kids for some time.

Shane,
Pretty unreal. Having talent in the drivers seat allowed us to navagate the course at 80+. Just couldn't slow speed turn the boat in the harbor. A big thanks for the tow. Looks like you had a race :D |
