Hey Steve, are you going to drive her yourself??
K-Boats put on an outstanding show, despite the weather not being the best, 8 K's were in attendance and they all ran well. Tuttle in K5 dominated most heats, Kenner in K66 had an excellent heat on Saturday finishing far ahead of everyone.
Tony dominated most of the SS/PS heats, except the heat it wouldn't start. Shane Hall finished a strong second in Saturday's final.
GN's had a great 3 way race in the in the Final (369, 711 & 24) Dalhoff spun the 369 while leading and the judges stand got trigger happy with the flare gun. The restart was not the same race, 24 got out front with 711 in pursuit and that's how they finished.
P9 dominated most of the Cracker heats, P96 was running strong also.
Comp Jets put on a fun show, I believe someone spun out in every heat?
Only wrecks all weekend were jetboats, no one was hurt, and Lots of Great racing despite the weather not being the best.
Yes, I was there, had a great time, saw many friends, drank many beers, watched many races and all were won.

I don't have a clue. Let me get it in the water and drive it a couple of times and see what shakes out...:D Hopefully I won't wreck it during testing...:D

The family had a great time, saw lots of great races, The GN final was awesome Joey Cucci had The Body snatcher flying. Skip Tuttle did a great job in The Cone & Crispy Tony was driving Loud & Proud flawless. Other than the wind it was a great weekend. We went out on the water today & it was fantastic. No wind & smooth water.

Hey John, was Plan B there?

Plan B was in attendance. I had the opportunity to meet Maxi in person and it is something I will never forget. I may never recover either.

No Jerry, Gritch was driving. Saturday morning's 10 lapper put a hurt on the motor, Running but low oil pressure so Paul shut it down, flaky thingys under the valve covers, so they loaded it up, done....Ray

I heard something about needing a taller snorkel?:D :) :jawdrop:

He's a light weight.
I dunno Jerry Video Guy. It seems that if you are not able to attend then the rest of the clowns are tight lipped. Do you feel that way? Bunch a bullship if ya ask me....Hey, I don't care, do you Jerry?
Jerry we were there. Looks like its are turn to clubbed like baby seals!:hammer2: The GN's have stepped up a bunch & will be very hard to compete against this year. Joey drove like a man possessed, & Skip's boat ran flawlessly all weekend. Looks like Joey produced a nice plant for that boat. Also Larry was hauling some serious ass in the final as well! GN 7 had a few issues that Bob could probably fill you in on... Not sure on the rest of the class but it looked good...
We will tear it down soon & find out what happened. Had a great weekend & look forward to seeing everybody next year...:)
Congrats to Tony for some really oustanding driving this weekend! Was a real pleasure to see him handle that prostock.;) You might say he was really on fire this weekend!:D
as of now it looks like we took out a piston on the first heat, second motor had major oil pressure problems so we called it a weekend. THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE TOUGH YEAR
Here is a Picture of the K's running on Saturday.

Latest is Lanse will be ready for Bako, Larry swears he'll have FI by then, Heath Hiebert is liking that wheel way too much to not have his own GN rig, and Elvis was sighted at Miami Marine Stadium doing practice laps... This will be a competitive year.
