Re: D & M Motorsports
 

That is a very balanced looking offshore powerboat!

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Just got in from the races & D & M ran a great race. They where neck to neck every lap with the US auctions 34 phantom it was by far the best battle of the day.

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

A few more shots.

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

maybe cuz it has sbc's.

btw, whats the difference in weight between a sbc and an ilmor?

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Great looking ride!

Thanks Scott!! It was great to meet you and your family!! Thanks again for all the help!! The pic's are great, If I send you my e-mail can I get a copy of them??? Anyone else have some???

I just have a second here on the computer, we drove all night and got home early this AM, got a little sleep and now I'm here at work!!! When I have more time I'll give more details of the weekend!!

BTW, By the time the awards were handed out, we were awarded the WIN!!! We completed the correct # of laps!! But they clearly had the faster boat!! Jim, Keith, and Scott with the Simmons Racing team are true sportsmen and it was a blast racing them this weekend!! They are great guys and racers!!

Hey Brad , It was likewise really nice to meet you , your family & all the guys. I think my youngest daughter was most appriciative that she got to play on the toy hummer ! I really ejoyed getting my hands a little dirty !! I thought that you guys may get the win due to the lap situation. Congratulations
on the win !! Like I said earlier the race between you guys & the Phantom was by far the best race of the day it was as tight of a race as I have seen. Drop me an email & I will send you all of the pics of the D&M team that I have of the weekend. [email protected]
I wish I was going to key west. :(

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Congratulations Brad. Not exactly "Saber Water" Looking forward to Key West. If you guys have time during the week down there and you are looking for a ride on a little bigger Saber let me know. We could take a few minutes and go find some good water. NK

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Ah, yea!! I'd Love to have a ride!! Stop by our pits!! We are going to have a huge set up with the other D&M Motorsports team!! I'll send you all the info!!! and my contact info.

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Looking forward to it. NK

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Parnell, It was great seeing you in the pits!! Sorry I was too busy for a boat ride this trip, but the water down there was to flat anyway. I'll wait until the next time your at the Ozarks in some real water and hit you up for that ride then!!!

Funny story, someone during the weekend said that the water in key west this year was our water "flat" and for us to watch out when the seas get big. I guess they don't know about Saber all that well...... We were looking forward to BIG water and then all of a sudden the seas went flat, sticky flat.

I think I remember reading that my boat back when it was Wavehippie won a national title, did it win a world title back then too?? How many world titles have saber won??

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Anyone know how many titles Saber has won??

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Brad
Congratulations on your victory. I liked the story about the Friday race when you went into the first turn 5th and came out first. Between you guys and Predator the straight bottom v hulls showed everyone how to turn. You can have a ride anytime you want but Loto does not really allow us to show you what she can do. Maybe a rougher Key west next year. Nice meeting you and again congratulations. Parnell

BTW I will check on the titles but I do know Wave Hippie has a national Championship or two. You might be the first world title.

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Here is the story "Parn" was refering to, for those who are interested!! I clipped this from an e-mail I sent out to some friends.

"On Wednesday we missed the set up, we had tested on Tuesday in 6 to 8 ft seas and were not ready for the water to lay down like it did, luckily we were able to hold on and finish 3rd, behind Great Adventure and the Konrad Fountain. On Friday when we won and everyone except for the last place boat “broke out” some with speeds over 86mph trying to catch us, we only had a top speed of 80.0mph in an 82.0mph break out. We just ran a consistent race and Jason drove his tail off, hitting every mark perfect. On Sunday we stayed with our set up and changed very little, and it was very similar to the race on Friday. Where we raced everyone to the 1st turn, we were in about 4th or 5th about 4 boat lengths behind the leader but we had the inside line, everyone else went wide to hold their speed and we tucked in the drives and darted around the buoy and came out of the turn in first place with a 4 boat length lead. From there we stayed consistent and ran our own race, the Konrad boat gave us a good run and in the final laps, I could see them closing the gap, so we stepped it back up a notch and held on for the win."

Hey Parn, when do I get a t-shirt?? :D

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Yeah Parn ...... when are the new T-shirts gonna be ready ?!?!??!?

"World Champion Powerboats" !!! :cool:

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Well here we go again!! Just talked to Jason and Joel and they are around Paducah, KY on their way to Hollywood, FL. for the Superbowl Race!! I fly in tomorrow.

Jason said they went out and tested a few things yesterday afternoon/evening. He said it was COLD!! As they were putting the boat on the trailer the spray on the sides and transom was freezing and by they time they left the shop @ 9pm their cove was froze with a thin layer of ice!!!:eek:

Now that is HARD CORE!!:cool:

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Well the hard work paid off!!! We WON!!! It was great, since most of our races have been on calm water. It was nice to prove we can run in the rough as well.
Stan said in our interview, "you proved in Key West that the flat water was Saber Water and now you have proved that rough water is Saber Water":D :drink:

It came at a price though. We blew a drive in practice on friday and ended up barrowing one from another racer to make the show. Then on the way home the trailer lost a complete wheel and tire in Georgia and had another that was about to go. They saved it and rebuilt it enough to get it home on five wheels and tires. But it made for a long trip home.

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

good work! now lets see some pics.

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

I'll see what I can do about that, but until then there are some in the Racer Section under the SBI heading. Oh and there is a great shot of us in this months Poker Run America!!

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Congrats Brad. NK

Re: D & M Motorsports
 

Hey Brad,
Congatulations on another win !!! :D You are showing us Saber guys quite proud !!
I know you guys work hard & I can say that It couldn't be happening to a better group of
guys. What are your plans for the upcoming season ?

Well, that depends.......If we get some sponsors or not. There are a couple of races we really want to hit, like St. Clair which is in June I think. and the Lake of the Ozarks Race in Sept. then if the $$ is there the Worlds in Key West again!! We would love to hit some more but after blowing a drive in Hollywood and the trailer coming apart on the way home. We have some $$$ work to do before we comit to anything else right now. I guess time will tell.
Later, Brad
If you don't get an answer on the transom angle, call Jason at the marina and have him measure the race boat. PM me and I'll give you his #'s and e-mail.
