you'd think he was the pilot of Rio Roses or something with everyone chiming in and wanting a piece... Even got an (old 40' skater) wanting in on the action. We're going to have to sanction this event if there's any more competitors..Regards

Hell yeah it's worth a shot... I can't speak for Travis , so I can't say whether he would or wouldn't but I'd like to see it regardless who it is. I wouldn't run an offshore racing magazine if I didn't salivate over competition on the water. I love this chit..

HeyT Bone Pimp, Did the pilot of WL tell you that his boat was capable of a 120mph pass. I did an article in the latest issue of the mag on the boat and spent quite a bit of time with Travis and I have never heard any claims of 120mph. He's really pretty quiet about the whole thing. It took over 2 months of haggling with him to get him to even consider doing the article. With that being said, I have been in his boat and caught a glimpse of a needle slap that was north of 110.

Yes, he did tell me and his crew continued with the claim of it be the fastest boat at LOTO. Lets keep in mind I am not trying to make this into a dick swinging contest because quite frankly I could careless what it runs. Now, I do have to admit that I find it highly unlikely that it is capable of running 110mph or better. I'm sure Travis is a great guy and I am by no means attacking him or his boat, like I said I have just been really bored when at LOTO lately and would love to see WL back up some claims. Years past there always use to be some good racing going on Sat. evenings, now you can't find anybody willing to let it all hang out...

The claim to the fastest boat on the Lake, well if he made that claim to me I'd have to laugh in his face....You and I both know that's bull$hit!!! I just smelled some competition soup and figured I'd stir the pot to keep it warm.
