Default 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.

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?

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?????

It's definetly not a problem with my computer.

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.
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.
