The 850 class race was very intense! Great job team Fury and congrats to Throttle Up CNC propellers with a first and second place finish!

Driver D & M Motorsports

Bryan,

You guys ran an awesome race, the MTI ran great!

That first set of turns in the first lap, were quite exciting.

CRC took out the buoy.
WHM ran up a rooster tail and almost went over (what a great save).
Ron Ripple/Celebrity Investments rolled/spun-out?. I was just crawling around inside that boat last week with Steve, hope all are OK.

Thanks we wanted to show well for our home town fans and we are very happy with the 2nd place finish based on this being our first race together.

Nice to meet you Bryanh & I hope you didn't take me to seriously

JIMMY

Jimmy,

Your celebration in front of the docks after the race was awesome! Thanks for getting my drink wet! Hope nobody "official" saw you do it.

people take you seriously?

i mean yes they do

Jimmy it was good to meet you and I look forward to racing with you again! You guys ran the heck out of the boat! Great job! We will have to have a drink at the next one! I am buying as long as you drink a little Jack!

This is how we saw it. Team Fury 88.

Seven Supercats took the start on a very tight LOTO race course. We were right in the middle with three boats on either side, the start lap was going to be very HOT!

The green flag dropped and CRC immediately shot past the fleet, obviously they got a run on the rest of us. CRC coming from Lane 5 immediately started squeezing the lanes to get to the first pin.

Half mile to the pin, Shocker was squeezed back as WHM pushed from Lane 1 to the outside forcing Ron Ripple to push on us. We were maybe a 1/2 a boat length back of Ron Ripple, and WHM with CRC still squeezing in front. Ray wanted to stay in the middle and hold our line to the pin. I decided to get out and crossed over CRC's wash.... not a good idea... I thought as we kited over to CRC's right... we had a good view from up there! Sorry about that D&M and Talk-N-Trash.

We made the turn in fourth but we avoided the carnage, as CRC hooked in the turn taking out a turn bouy, causing WHM to kite and almost flip.. Ron Ripple escaped and we were alongside WHM in second with D&M, Talk-N-Trash and Shocker behind. CRC was done with the turn bouy wrapped around their drives.

By the second lap, WHM had eased in front of us and we were Chasing Ron Ripple.

Turn 5... slight Right turn at 135 plus MPH... not a nice turn... Ron Ripple spins out in a huge wash of water just in front of us, they look OK and at least they are right side up.

This brings out the double Yellow so they can clear the wreck. Now The 850 boats and the Cat Lite boats are together with the Cat Lites in front...Two laps of turmoil..then a restart. Every one was jostling for a better position, even though we should be lined up single file. I kept the inside line and tried to stay in clean water.. no one was getting inside of us.

The restart... with 4 Cat Lites throwing their roosters back into the 850 boats... we couldn't see a thing for what seemed like minutes, and just prayed we did run over anyone. It took almost two laps to work our way through the Cat lites following WHM just in front of us.

Lap 5...we took the lead from WHM coming off turn 3, and once we got clean water opened the gap every lap.

We took advantage of some luck this race and we ended up with the win we had promised to produce this year.

LOTO was a great event and the D&M and Talk-N-Trash Teams added huge excitment. Glad to meet you both and hope we meet again.

Thanks Horny Toad and all the OSS staff for a great weekend.

Now we head to Key West!!!!!!
