New Years Eve in Freedom US1

Freedom has been a 110 octane boat her whole life. We changed the pulleys on the blowers so we could run on pump gas. This was the first time she has ever ran on 91! Makes it a lot easier than lugging around big drums of race fuel.

Sweet! Thanks T...

Love the sound of the spray hitting the camera back.
I bet South Beach is a scream on New Year's...

They probably didnt notice any difference at the speeds they were running.

Yeah it was pretty rough. Didn't aim for high speeds. Got her to 100 at one point.

Covers are on the scoops to keep the salt spray from going in the engine room. The backside of the scoop allows air flow.
