Here we go. We raced #2004. 425 miles. ran out of gas, lost a wheel, and got stuck behind another car stuck in silt. We finished in fourth out of 14. Can't believe it.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
What class were you guys in Tom? And who won overall? I couldn't make it out this year :(
|
Re: My next boat: Y2k!
We ran the 1600 cars. My buddie just bilt the car last summer and took first place in the Parker 400. This year was a little different as you heard. I'm not sure who won as i was out in the middle of the desert for the whole day, then left after we finished.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
I remember those days.... break, sit, fix, break again, wait for support truck, load up race car, go home.... rinse repeat. I'm sure you guys will do better at the next race. Good Luck

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Congrats on the deal Tom. When my boat gets all together I plan to use Bronson Hill in Santa Ana to get the prop dialed in. Drop me a line if you wanna get involved when I talk to them. Maybe they can cut us a 2 boat deal or something?

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Rob, I used Bronson Hill way back when they broke away from Chad hill. Byron always did me right. :drink:

This is a universal cover keep in mind and for the price I could'nt be happier. I paid about $350 to my door! http://www.coverquest.com/covers/boat/boatldetail.php On the bottom of the page, click on boat covers. On the next page click on ( if your boats not listed click here). Next page click on (performance style boats) type PB. Click on your lenght 31.7 to 32.6'. Select inboard. I got the 100% polyester semi custom for $334. Free shipping and tie downs. I ordered up one of these covers in black today. Obviously a smaller version for my 24'... :cool: Hopefully I'll get it before my boat comes back from the fiberglass repair shop. How long did it take to get yours? I don't want to put my ugly tarp over her again before the season starts... :drink: |

Ah heck. I'll wait for Huntington to be King. Then I'll drop on a ProCharger and be at 1300 HP until the drive goes south. Then buy a ? drive and refi the house to keep up wit the Jone's. :D |

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
One ProCharger will do the trick. It will take two whipples for that much power. :drink:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
LOL- good one

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Faster, you don't need no stinking supercharger.
You have the fastest Y2K to date with that 801HP/598 beast. Test some props and add a nose cone. 100mph is within reach... :evilb: |
Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Faster, how many hours you got on that motor ???

I put more then that on a boat in a weekend. LOL

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Well, remember my engine oil cooler could'nt keep up with the heat? I spent most of my time on the beach last summer wishing I could run past 4000 rpm. I'm pretty sure the new custom cooler will work. I ran it as hard as I could for the size lake I tested it in last October. Seem to be ok. I also just purchased a labbed Bravo1 30 prop per instructed by prop no it alls. They also recommend a 1" drive spacer which I don't have yet. I'm almost ready. Oh, my kids said they need seat belts! :eek: Not a bad idea.
