SuperFest 2003 Countdown
#51
Ok, guyz: Engine computer has been flogged into submission by yours truly. Today was much better. We hit the rev limiter at 5450 and still had a ways to go in the throttle. Getting a bigger prop tomorrow. Superfest, here we come!
Also talked to Jim Capie today, who had fallen off the side of the earth. He had been abducted by aliens and woke up in Hicksville, West Virginia. When I talked to him, he was on I85, going East. He'll be at Superfest!

Hey Peconic,
That is great news!!! 1:57am, Can't sleep with anticipation??? Are you going to show us a picture of the GPS reading or tease us like with Black Beauty??? Hit the rev. limiter with a 30pitch. Sounds like a winner to me.
Tripps, sorry about your engine. Do your best... With three, I hope you have a spare one on stock.

Well I heard from JMK4060, and at this point, he's not going to make Superfest. 
My friend with the 23' Velocity will be on a service call the week before so he is 50/50 at best.
I went for a ride with one of my crew members for Superfest last night, and he may have convinced me to make the run by water alone, weather permitting of course
Anyone else out there from the CT river area going???
OH-Zone, Did you get the day off???
Peconic, I may just show up on your doorstep alone...
Question: Is there a place to set up a tent for the night? or do we have to stay on the boats?

tripps,
Sounds like you will be back in action in no time. That's great! Please don't blow another before Superfest.
Peconic,
83 on the GPS your second ride. That's awesome! Good luck racing her.

No problem staying here. I can fetch you on the other side of the Shinnecock Canal.
Yeah, we are feeling pretty good today. Steady 83 with a stock 32 Bravo. (Thanks, Jimmie McIntyre for the loaner ..) I'm already happy, but Kirk is still pushing buttons on his calculator and he's looking for more. Great guy.
