Yeah, I took my boat to Lost Lake for the saturday night races, and there where two flatties there, but I never paired up with them... especially after seeing they basically had a pit crew with all of there tools, parts, etc. and those motor's where pure race motors! Very nice looking boats. When idling, I gave one of the guys a thumbs up, and he just looked at me like his shit didn't stink!
What MissHBjet is talking about was when I paired up with 2 Ultra pickle fork tunnels both running nitrous.
Here are the screen captures off of our video camera.
And me airing out the hull when comming back down river to race again.

I sure can! It will be cool to watch on the big screen. There isn't a lot of video though, be we can also watch the races from the 4th where Cyclone was the star of the night, and I have some footage of JohnwithJM running is drag boat there.

Yeah, that was fun for sure, but next year I'll be one of those guys. When building this motor, the idea was to build it for nitrous the following year. With all of the parts I'm using, Dave says I can run a 225hp cheater system and the motor will be fine. That will bring the motor to making about 950hp. With that, and all of the other work I have done, it should bush that boat right at the 110 mark, and that's about the fastest I would ever want to go in this hull. Anything faster then that I'll be running on a line to thin for my standards. My hull is very stable still, but at those speeds the slightest thing can change all of that. Then what 110mph isn't enough.... Time for a gullwing!
