Tom great run. I had some great shots of you but my camera and phone were consumed by LOTO before I got them downloaded. And no alcohol was involved before the clan starts in on me!

Congrats Tom, running that in a mile is awesome! I knew your rig would run as good as it looks....... :ernaehrung004:

Congrats on the 123 Tom. Way to represent. I thought there were supposed to be quite a few 28's this year. Skaterjim and a couple of others?

Next year we will get to see some 28' DW's in this class

Maybe, Would be nice to see some real time, same conditions runs.
123 is getting with the show for stock motors.
Kind of thought we would have seen some those 120mph DCBs They brought a fleet of boats but no outboards????? Wonder why......
To accomplish what Tom and Skater Jim takes a lot of knowledge and hard work. Old school boats and hard work getting it done my friends.

That 26 DCB w/ 400Rs would have never run what Tom ran in his 28 - I have four separate friends that rode in that boat a few weeks ago. They all said it was propped so high it would barely plane, that's how they got 122mph out of it. It would have never accelerated hard enough to run 120+ in the mile. Any good sized outboard cat running over 120 at LOTO is doing exceptionally well - I've never owned one that would do it! Congrats again to Tom on a great run.
