The boat's all buffed and cleaned up and ready to roll!
Everybody at work thinks I'm nuts enough already....they're shure getting a few good laughs as I bellow out engine noises and start running the "air throttles" all day.......and there's still 3 more days of it!
See ya's friday.

Fyi
Just 2 let participants know, a couple weeks ago a bomb was dropped on us in regards 2 get'n a 93 octane tanker in Charlevoix as we understood it would work & "no deal"! Since then we have been try'n anything we can 2 still pull it off & as of about an hour ago, all attempts have failed! I can speak 4 the Boyne Thunder committee as we R very very sorry 4 this inconvenience! As I said, this was just dropped on us recently!! The marina in Char has what he calls 90 recreational w/ NO ethanol! Possibly some octane boost could B used along w/ this 2 get U thru the 2nd shorter part of the course?????? East Jordan at the south end of the south arm of Lake Charlevoix has 93 but we realize that is a ways 2 go in the middle of the PR!! If there is anything we can do 2 try & help please let us know!!

Anyone that needs Octane enhancer can get a hold of Jim Kidd Motor Sports. Jimmy is on the board. He is a supplier of a very good Octane Boost and will be doing the Boyne Poker Run. Jim uses the Octane boost in his own boat and never had a problem. Jim's boat is a Skater with big power. Adding his Octane Boost at the right amount with 90 Octane should give you over 93 Octane. That's one Option.

I just got turned onto Dragon Racing Fuels, they make an octane booster that has been pretty thoroughly tested. I got mine from Ron at Dynamic Speed in Chesterfield, MI. I think 1 bottle will make 80 gals of 90 equal to 93. I always keep a couple on board just in case.
