And the winner IS ???????
 

Alot of talk was going around about the 2 46 Cigs "Solid Muscle, and Strip Poker" going at it. Well, we played a little in the 3 footers, and "Rocket Man" the 47 OL with the new 1300's in it, joined in for some fun.
We eased it up from a 70 mph roll, and we were all pretty close till we hit well over the century mark. Strip Poker started falling back around 105. Rocket Man stayed right next to Solid Muscle for a little while, then on the top end, Solid Muscle kept pulling on Rocket Man, till we were quite a few boat lenghts ahead.
After the run, we were Nick in the playpen, and he showed us his GPS, and it showed 111 mph. We're not really saying what the Cig ran, but it's time to turn up the boost, and put on a "bigger" set of props.

I tried taking some pics, but, when you're running over a buck ten, in and out of the water, a dozen people in the boat all hanging on to each other, it makes it a little hard to get some shots off.

WTF !!! Can't get the pics to download??? Says, this is not a valid image file??? Gonna have to wait for my bro to get off work tonight and figure out what I did wrong here. :rolleyes:

Wow, just awesome. Whatever the case, 110+ in either of those monsters is fabulous.

So I take it nick's new power in the OL is running good for him?

Sounds like you had a Blast!

Oviously, there's somekind of problem with this website. It won't let me post any pictures, even the ones that I've posted before.

Anyone else experiencing any of these problems?????:hitfan:

It's definetly not a problem with my computer. :Whatever:

Yeah, the problems are with the site. I think I'm going to pass on renewing my membership-

It was great this morning when the site was down I checked my email and what do I find?



Yeahhhh I think I'll pass. Although I will miss the member's wives and girlfriends thread along with RHR's pit stop and RG3. :D

Okay Frank, I want to make sure I have this right....So, Rick's 46' Cig (Soild Muscle) with his 1100hp 598cid engines beat the 47' OL with supposedly 1300hp 700cid engines???

Mark, we had 5 guys, 7 girls, tanks filled with fuel, we ran side by side for a few miles @ 110+, then, the boat aired out a few times, tachs were 62-6300, and we started picking up more speed, and just kept pulling away from the OL.
I took a sequence of pics, but for whatever reason, this site is not letting me download the photos. I've got 300+ pics from this weekend, and I can't post any !!! :(

Yes, Wesco's 1100's in that Cig really rocked the lakefront this holiday weekend. :ernaehrung004:
And, there's still a little more left to go.

Looked like Rocket Man had 2 people total in it.

You mean Pure Muscle had 12 people in the boat with Wesseldyk's piddly little 1100hp engines???? Whoa that's pretty heavy!

Well dang.... Frank , I was just thinkin'---you know I kinda got the same problem??? My piddly naturally aspirated 600hp engines that Wesseldyk built for me do almost the same thing with full tanks when I raced a buddy of mine with the exact same hull/length/make (32' AT) as mine. His had 556cid Supercharged engines that were dyno'd and supposedly make 820hp or so---and he cannot pull me from 3500rpm or at WOT.

Congrats to the guys that ran well. I would say Rockit Man isn't running well, Yet. I hope. That is one beautifull boat.

Saw Rocket Man at Hammond when I left yesterday...that thing is beautiful.

AH HAAAA, Finally, it's letting me post the pics. A few of Strip Poker

A few more

Austin brought out "Warbird" for a few rounds too.

Strip Poker was on the other side of Warbird. When the tachs hit 62-6300, we were flat out, but that big Cig was no match for the big turbine cat. :(

I think we just missed you. We watched Nick disappear with a big ole rooster tail. Boat sounds real good.

Frank,
Nice pic's. I'm forwarding you the email I left the message about.

Dan

A few more

And a few more.

Some of Nicks OL

Some more of Rocket Man

:drink:

Sorry about the quality of the pics. We were running flat out over 110, and I could barely hold the camera. Guess I need a better camera, or a steadier hand. :Whatever:

And, we had Jamie out with us too. But, he had way too many girls on board that were screaming when he put the throttles down. :rolleyes:

Jamie's Gun ran GREAT !!! We had to get over 90 to pull away from him, but atleast I was able to get a few good shots of the boat. :ernaehrung004:

And then the raft off. Jamie, GOOD TIMES Brotha !!!:ernaehrung004:

Oh wait :eek: this is gonna be a whole nother thread. :p

That OL is a gorgeous boat!

Great pics, looks like you fellas had a good holiday!

Thanks for posting Frank:drink:

she's a very beautiful boat. I know he was having tranny problems that day. I had been on the phone with him. Congrats to the Cig!Awsome boats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go Big Rick!!!! All the boats look awesome, thanks for the pics Frank!!! So here is the best solution, have them all at the LOTO shootout so we can see them run thru the gauntlet, the radared gauntlet first that is and then maybe the p.c. gauntlet later!!!!!! Are you guys planning to head to LOTO for the Shootout with these big guns Frank???

WAY TO GO Jamie 10x whats up?

Hey Travis...do you ever tow that bad ride anywhere? You'd eat Lake Michigan up with that thing...there's plenty of cats to hunt, too! Bring it up next weekend for the Poker Run!

I've seen you a couple times in Party Cove...that boat makes me drool.

Hey Travis, what up dude??? What's this B/S I hear that the water pigs arrested you for loud pipes??? :eek: You got one of baddest soundin boat I've ever heard. I even asked Ed Cozzi what cams you're running, cause the next time my engines come out, I'm doing a cam swap and your cams are going in. LMAO :eek:

I'd love to have your boat at our Poker Run next saturday. YOU'D love that rough water that lake Michigan will throw at ya. Your arm will for sure get a workout. :cool: Gonna be alot of hardware that'll be able to run along side ya. I know you'd have a great time. See what you can do about it, or send me a pm.............Later

Frank

haha, thanks Travis. Yeah, the girls screamed a little when I layed into it but they had fun..

Guys I have an all girls b-day party. Seriously, I would love to come!
Only got a verbal warning,we were dialing in another set of BRAD SMITH motors honest blown 800's in a 30 Eliminator,we did complete rerig,ran flawless. Had the economy been normal they would have been to busy!

What you heard last yr is for sale(cams heads). Did alot of other stuff as well talk to you in person at the shootout. Best of luck next wkend.

Travis, don't be shy. :rolleyes: LMAO Bring all the girls, they'll have a blast. It'll be kinda like your birthday present to her. :evilb:

Frank,you no better,had these plans for awhile even blocked out one of my rentals for the girls,just make sure you find me at the shootout. Hay rockit -Nick is Cozzi' cousin find us!!!!!!!!!!

Just yankin your chain. :p We'll talk before the shootout, and we might even drive down "group style" with Nick. He should be all set to go with the tranny problem, by tuesday. He lost the tranny right after he left the playpen, after we were playin out in the lake. I was wonderin why he never came back to raft off with us.

Your always good with me,you know that,Nick has my # get it and call me<I have him all set up for the shootout,I spoil my buddies,let me know if you need anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes he should be good talked to him last night..........

REED

I set Nick up with my buddy who is a B/W velvet drive guru. He'll be back up for the Poker Run.

I may have to take the boat down to loto the shootout weekend if I can find a dually to borrow, my SRW pickup scares me.
