The guy with the baha never did break the drive.....I think it was like 17 or 19p in first gear.....so, even though he was zinging it to the moon.....it wasn't that much stress.....I guess.

Back hurts like hell......existing on pills right now. Surgery is July 16th. In the hosipital for a week, then on a walker for 2 weeks after that, then on a cane for another 2 weeks......then hopefully walking after that.....at least that is what they are telling me (you know how that chit goes).

I have buit a sybian with a harley motor on it for Debbie.......so she probably will have no use for me when I do heal up!:D

Mark,
Here's another one for you. This motor is a heavily:rolleyes:
modified 2.5 that ran 3 stage N20/alcohol/race gas. 600 HP with everything burning @ 11,000 RPM with a 26" :eek: :D ............(do that math:cool: )
One of these days I'll try to load some videos racing against other U/Os, blown inboard hydros and tunnel jets.
1/4 mile ETs in the high 8s, speeds in the 120s.
Check out the block. It was painted Chrysler Plumb Crazy Purple to match the boat.
In hindsight, it was insane, which is why I eventually quit.
Regards,
Steve

I don't know much about egg beaters, but that one appears to have some additional plumbing!

:D The Quartershot is a race HP hull being made in Florida now. I thnk he has a couple of open lake deck versions too. I had a Mirage Quartermaster, made in Texas by Brad Collins. It is/was a drag race only tunnel with no pickleforks and less frontal area. To my knowledge, no one has ever blown one over. Weird looking boat, looks kinda like a Indy car without the tires, but they are relatively safe and very fast.
I've owned a couple of Allisons too, a 16' with a 175, and Darris' own 2002 Bass Racer 20' (686 lbs) with a 2.4 EFI Offshore.
Talk about rocking the bass fishing world, as well as more than a few jet boats :eek: :rolleyes:.............I could fish in the 90s with 2 guys and all our equipment, and run over 100 by myself. I remember winning our little Wednesday night club tournament and hearing a guy in the crowd saying "I thought those guys just raced".
I would still like to have a 2003 to fish, ski and f' off with.
Best Regards,
Steve

John,
That's all to comply with EPA pollution regulations :D :rolleyes: . Don't want to make the tree fugging, oxygen farting crowd mad at us. Sorry to hear about your back, at least you have some good drugs!
Harley powered Sybian.........don't do it man! Every woman in Nashville will be lined up outside your house:D .......can I come over and at least watch?
Steve

Croozin,
Same here, loved it when I was doin' it, but towards the end it started seeming more like work than fun. Attending a few poker runs (I had a Baja too at the time) convinced me to hang up the racing. I tell my racing friends that poker running is a "martini and bikini race" :drink: .
Regards,
Steve
