Re: Rocketman
 

Ilmors will not make it a rocket,man,sorry? Don't bring that ride to the Chesapeake, you might get that cape ripped off. Cool boat though.

:D :D :D :D :drink:

Re: Rocketman
 

Give me a break. :rolleyes:

Re: Rocketman
 

Curious, what will be ripping the cape off. I was up there back several months ago and was not impressed with the turnout of power with about 100 performance boats in the "Jamin on the James" I had Ilmors and had 95% of the field covered and I was not that fast. Rocket Man is probably faster than me by several mph. I guess it is all in perception

Re: Rocketman
 

OK. I meant Northern Chesapeake. Don't get me wrong, I think the boat is awesome. I fully appreciate the uniqueness of one-off rigs like this. I think I speak for a fair number of Velocity owners who frequent this forum (many who have owned more than one) we admire the fact that Velocitiies are distinguished from other manufacturers for many reasons but mainly for not having ventilated hulls and can run as fast or faster than like powered boats. We just want to see one roll out of the factory with some big merc. power and some #6's to compare to those million dollar rides.

Re: Rocketman
 

I say we all get together next summer as a group and run and have some fun and see who has got what.We can run in the flat and then run in the rough and see what boat large or small a one off or a production model/all Velocitys of course I would hate to see Reggie show up with his so called cat killer :D.Charlie and Steet and Rick,what do you guys think. :cool:

Re: Rocketman
 

Raptor, I have to agree with you on that one. I would like to see someone come out of the factory with the 1075's with #6's and see what the boat can do. I know that Ben's new 390 with the new Merc 700's is very impressive with the NXT drives and they are still dialing it in. I would expect to see numbers close to the 39 OL. Should have news within a week or two.

Re: Rocketman
 

Great idea. It would be nice to get the gang together for a good time. When you get all velocitys together, we always have a great time.

that's gotta fly :cool:

Re: Rocketman
 

Sounds like a plan Bill, but as we all know early planning is key. It's hard to get everyone lined up, Before we realize it it's July and weekends are in short supply so lets pick a general region of water, start with an early spring date, get some feedback and adjust from there. Another option would be to select a poker run that we could agree upon and show up w/ a bunch of Velocities!! :D :D :D

Re: Rocketman
 

I am in :D :D :D :cool: Lets set it up.

Re: Rocketman
 

If precedent holds, you can pretty much count on these major events to happen on these weekends next summer so we'll need to either plan around them or expect lesser participation. What dates look good?

June 2 Available, June 9 Jacksonville, June 16 NYC, June 23 Atlantic City, June 30 Available

July 7 Available, July 14 Shore Dreams Special Olympics, July 21 & 28 Available

August 4 Barnegat Bay, August 11 1000 Islands, August 18 Available, August 25 LOTO

I think Richmond is generally in the first couple weeks of July

STEET - Do you have a date for the annual Lake Norman run yet?

Re: Rocketman
 

Rick, We are looking at the 2nd or 3rd week of May prior to Memorial Weekend, but that is tentative at this time. We will definitely have to look at the overall schedule so that we do not plan it on a PRA weekend or some other big Fun or Poker Run. I agree that early planning is important. I will follow up on this.
