Wicked Specialized Joker Dock Blood Typhoon 1 Typhoon 2 Goumada Kean Two thumbs up Xtras Motor City Herbott Cintron Who will prevail ? |
Hmmm lets see.......
Typhoon 1 (white) has a new crew..... Typhoon 2 (black) has a new driver never, drove before Wicked (Typhoon 2) cant be in two places at the same time Goumada (Formerly Typhoon 1) needs to get used to the boat Cintron..has mechanical problems Herbott..needs to say a prayer on Sunday morn Outrageous..has a shot Joker..has a shot if they dont blow up or get tossed out Kean..too heavy for flat water Dock Blood..dont know much about them Two thumbs up ...will be in the mix Xtras will be in the mix Heres my finishing order 1Typhoon black * 2Joker * 3Outrageous * if 1 and 2 break out the following finish will be *Outrageous *Two thumbs up *Extras No matter how you slice it, should be an exciting race |
If Xtras runs a 26 hydro 5 blade, 75 lbs up front drivers side, and stares a hole thru the GPS, he should run away with it by half a lap. :cool-smiley-011:
If not that setup, then I would have to go with the Joker gang Dont let me down Jim!!!! |

Kean..too heavy for flat water (but you do have a point) |
I Think Papa Dukes Will Battle It Out All Day Long With Specialized In 3rd And 4th
And The Black Typhoon Will Take The Checkered With Slow Eddy And Marky Mark In 2nd Bolth Braking Out Leaving It Up To Papa Dukes And Specialized |

He'll miss the start. I pedict Herbott will still be in the drivers meeting asking questions when the green drops.

A 26 hydro 5 blade should put you also at 80 MPH unless you have big slip numbers. If you need props that big I have plenty of them from my F1 days that are to big for me now.

MD Lets see, in this case you take 26 X 5250 X .01 / 1.5 / 12= 75.833333333333. The .8333333 is the reason I said to stare a hole thru the GPS. With my experience in a boat similar to Jim's I factor at full race weight(fuel on board) he should be able to hit in the mid 74's and be safe, but still have the acceleration to keep up with the 600-700 hp motors you guys run in Classes 5 & 6 up there, yes you being one the few exceptions I know. If my memory serves me correctly(and of course I might be wrong) the top speed of your F1 was in Savannah @ 82.9? Isnt the limiter in the 525's @ 5400, that could explain how you were seeing 80(26 pitch) with about a 7-8% slip. By all means since you seem to have the no slip props in your arsenal, please bring them to Chat, cause the best I have been able to get is 6% slip out of my rig. That was a one time deal unfortunatly, I am still trying to get back to it. With me going up to try and break my 86.5 mph F1 Chat Mile record, will you allow me to run in Class 5 or should I just bring a Class 4 setup:hitfan: Your buddie!!! Trent |
I have to go with the 2 locals in Va....
Joker and Outrageous... |
