Testing and More Testing
 

Want to thank Matt and Julie for all of the hard work they have done for us over the years... Without Throttle-Up I dont think I would have half of the titles we have racked up over the yrs.. Matt has built props for me for yrs and just when you dont think it can't get any better HOLD on !! We have been testing some of their new CNC #6 props on the new boat and WOW I cant believe the speed,acceleration and handling difference we are seeing from some of the other props we have tested kinda scary. The numbers are huge and we haven't even gotten started Matt has a few more tricks he said,and I can't wait till he gets done with them. Right now we are running stock wheels right off the CNC machine not even dialed in for our boat yet. We have speed differences of anywhere from 2-4 MPH depending on what other props we have tried.

Also want to thank Rick Turmel for all his help on our new project, when it come to set-up he is the best. Can't wait to see what the Magic Man has for us when to get back to NC . When it comes to a Crew Chief they dont get any better.

So with that said make sure when we start kicking some ass you dont take it out on me, you need to take it up with Throttle- Up and Rick....We are just the messenger

:worthless_without_p

Pete ,

we r working on that, maybe u can get some good pics for us at the next race.

Frank

Congrats Frank,

Matt and Julie are a class act at Throttle-Up.
What class will you be running....P3 I hope....

Ya we r working now to see what r numbers are but it looks like P3 .

Here you go Pete!

Damn girl dont let out all our secerts....:party-smiley-004:

I wish you guys the best of luck. Be safe. Dave

They only use one????

Pete,
We need 2 but can only afford 1 right now , but we are working on it.

Frank good to here....and you better be coming to P3.....Rick dose a great job....and Matt and Juile will get you to the number....good luck and be safe and will see ya in Key West...

You don't want that World Championship to have to come North again....will work on getting as many Class 3 teams from OPA to make Key West....and I'm sure SBI/APBA will have a good showing in P-3 also....it will be good battle like always....a half a second seperated last years 1st to 2nd place....I would expect nothing less for this year also...

A work of art...

I'll spoke to a few of the teams, and i agree looks like P3 will have a good fleet and some great head to head racing. Three day of some great racing always make for an exciting week, and you never know till the last day.

Only 10 weeks guys!

You know how quick it will be here...tic toc..tic toc...tic toc!

Julie

We just need to get this first race under our belt and then we will have a better idea of how much work we have a head of us. We have 3 races in a month so should give us plenty of seat time and set-up time. I know Rick is working close with Matt so I'm sure as far as that goes we should be all good.

Frank..its sounds like you got the right people on....

Good luck

is this where the props go??:evilb:

bruce rotflmao :drink::drink::drink::ernaehrung004:

Thanks Bruce....I was trying to find out what the hell he was running

Whos boat is that?

Julie

If you find out Julie let me know ...

Cmon now...the cat (I mean Vee) is out of the bag.

Sorry to pop in here, but that boat is for sale in the classifieds.

Its a Phantom, ........not bad ,but to much $ for me.

Don't be so sure bout that....I think you could be in the seat for around 100k. By the time you get done with custom motors, you'll wish you were runnin 525's with sixes on the back

It is a nice boat ,but it says in the ad, buck 60 nothing about 100 ??????!!!!!!!:eek:

Well....grasshopper. that is the asking price. A little smoozing and negotiating. And you might get it for 100k

so...Frank. You gonna put tabs back on or what?

Bruce, since when do grasshopers swim ?

LOL ,haha,............by the way are u still trying to sell your's ?

Come on Frank, ever since Richard bought that boat, the OSS boys have been calling him and giving him every sales pitch they can to get him to bring it over there. Everyone knows so You and Peachy can stop the games.

I just figured when they found out who the throttleman is they would stop, but I guess not.:rolleyes:

I see you had a safe trip, hope all is well there... I'll see you next week I hope .
Give me a call when you get a chance fill me in on things.

anything is for sale, if the price is right.

Scott I heard the Cat killer will be in NY and he is gunning for you.

You are Bad !!!:evilb:

Scott was out testing today and not very happy.......

Hey Ryan, thats thru not happy but i found out today that 'YOU' are the catkiller.
Atleast from my point of view, everytime you take out one of your cat's you brake something ?????????Whats up with that ???
If you need a good throttleman to show you how the stuff stays together?,,,,,let me know ,,,,,,,,i may know somebody !

:eek: LOL

Frank ,i know they tryed to get me in that boat for years now .
So they have somebody to show those cats what its about .LOL:party-smiley-004::rolleyes::evilb:

Scott,
When are u leaving to head up North ?
Rich is picking the boat up on wed. and should be in the pits on thurs nite early fri.
I'm flying up fri, not sure when you r rolling in but i'll give u a call maybe u can pick me up at the airport.

Only a few mishaps on the way(trailer blowouts) but it should be leaving Atlanta tdy and heading over to Charlotte. I have to go over there for some meetings anyways weds. Then I get to finish the prop testing on the new rig, hopefully & woohoo. Dont know which one is going to NY due to lack of drivers(equipment wise), but should be there with one or the other.

With JC announcing that the potential sponsors will be auditioning us, this has turned into a must make race for our team.

Got the phone taken away until all the baby stuff is together. I think I spend less money on boat racing, wow!!!

Enjoy the planeflight, with the DirectTV and all the pretzels you can eat. Instead of Scott picking you up, why dont you rent a limo and arrive in style, heck it might get you some brownie points with JC since SBI is now "Boat Racing of the Rich and Famous"......

Trent,

Good luck and i hope all is well there say hello for me. If you need anything let me know.
Do you need the other vest I can have Rich bring it up if you need?
I'm trying to get a chopper from the airport to the pits just checking to see if they will let us land in the park.
