I saw 2 TG unlimiteds in the fun run with similar blue paint jobs, we passed one about halfway through and there was one waiting at big dicks when we got there.
Noteworthy during the run was a guy in a red baja with mild graphics who must have welded the sticks to the dash and was running low 80s and caught up to us once when we took it easy about 3/4s the way thru. We mostly ran 85 to 95. Guy was hauling it pretty good... heard he had a couple blower motors in it.
Travis gave the business out today again after the races. Tyson in the Cig was also wide open running behind WL. Tyson and Brad are National Champions as well in P3.
WL is dialed in now and WAY north of triple digits.

the all white Skater from GLOC fared pretty well with Brad Smith power and Tyson on the sticks this year.
I have no clue who the red baja is, I thought someone told me he was a loto guy.
Tbone... dont make WL mad. Maybe he wont make it hurt too much..

That's one boat. How about you and WL? There's always V-Hull Top Gun to shoot for, eh?

We were anchored in the mouth of the Gravois arm Saturday when we saw White Lightning get pulled over by the MSWP. A second MSWP boat joined up minutes later. Took someone off the boat for a bit. Not sure what was up. WL was just idling around.

I had to give that boat a big Hell Yeah at the Shootout. D*mn, he was smokin'.
A mild hijack here.... Carter, your Bullet for sale looks awesome. Those blowers must really wake that boat up. Good for about 80 or so?

Now the important part........No one showed up to run after the races on Sat.....White Lightening was idling around waiting and he waited until 5:40 when we went by......In fact I was running 75 and he came buy me like I was standing still......We were running 75 and he left us.......My best guess was 105.
Now as far as first to the bridge that was ME.........Of course Travis let off to see if anyone would show up or was sitting waiting. Which there was not anyone around........We went to backwaters and ran into Travis later and the tattle tale said 113 mph.....Now after seeing him go by first hand I believe it.
As far as Sunday I was not there.
