Default SPY Vid- Miss GEICO Mystic testing- Sarasota bay

Someone sent these links to me.

She is running fully loaded with 400gals of fuel (2800lbs) and 4 people engines turned down to 2800 (per side).

We test again in Biscayne bay on the 6th. come check it out.

Marc and Scotty

Enjoy

Loved the "resume safe normal operation" sign in the second clip, good stuff as always.

Thanks, cool vid.

Will the Mystic eventually replace the MTI for all races? I was hoping to see it in Detroit or St Clair, not that the MTI isn't impressive enough!

Thanks Guys,

The MTI was on cruise control in St Clair. she is our workhorse and a pretty formidable one considering her weight. She has been a stellar performer and unbelievably strong considering the stress she is under week in week out. Plan on seing her continue to race. Make no mistake about it we love racing her.

The Mystic will be in testing for many months to come as Scotty and I get up to speed with an additional 2500+ hosepower to manage. She will be at selected events and begin to take over as the main GEICO race boat for 2009.

The way you guys blew past the supercats and especially the cat lites, I'm guessing that is a mighty big "wink".

Especially compared to the Gold Cup, where I'll believe that 115 number.
