Hope not really like the Eliminator 43'... That would hurt my relations with John Harrah and Bob Leach and striking a deal
Why is the passenger wearing the white helmet.Is it because he rode the short bus in school.
Why is the passenger wearing the white helmet.
It is one of the Executives from General Motors and what the Corporate office wants they get.....
Well looks like S.C.O.P.E. and the Long Beach poker run is going to be in the Register sometime this week. Got a call yesterday and seems they missed it by a week BUT still wanted to do a story... Will let you all know when...
Looks like the Orange County Register will be running a story about the SCOPE run....
Here is the copy I was sent by them in advance
HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGH SEAS FUELED BY ANAHEIM CHEVY
Bragging rights to one very fast powerboat now belong to Anaheim Chevrolet, which sponsored the 42-foot Fountain in the 14th Annual Poker Run of the Southern California Offshore Powerboat Elite (S.C.O.P.E.). In the first leg of the four-part Sept. 29 run, Fountain was the first boat to make it from Long Beach to Santa Catalina Island.
Fountain is powered by two General Motors-based twin 1300 hp motors -- the equivalent of two Monster truck power plants in one boat hull, according to Jay Photoglou, General Sales Manager at Anaheim Chevy, a member of S.C.O.P.E., and driver of the boat. Skimming over the channel at an average speed of 100 mph with top speeds of 122 mph, the boat made it from the Queen Mary in Long Beach to Avalon Harbor at Catalina in about 15 minutes, Photoglou said.
The most challenging part as a driver was to read the water, because it lays out in swells, he said. So you can go for 10 to 15 seconds flat-out, but if you dont eyeball and catch the approach of four- and five-foot swells and ease back on the speed to adjust, you will launch 15 feet out of the water at 120 mph.
Indulging Photoglous need for speed wasnt the reason that Woody Oklejas, owner of Anaheim Chevy, decided to sponsor Fountains run from Long Beach to Avalon, then to Newport Beach, then to Los Alamitos, and back to Long Beach for a total of 100 miles.
Actually, Woody was taking advantage of a great marketing opportunity. Everybody who has powerboats for offshore, lake, and river recreation has to tow those boats to the water, said Photoglou. A lot of us feel that Chevys combination of the Allison transmission and Duramax diesel technology make for one of the best, most powerful towing vehicles available.
The Allison-Duramax combination is featured in the very popular Chevrolet 2500 and 3500 Silverado diesel truck series.
The event wasnt really a race per se it was a friendly get-together of boating enthusiasts, Photoglou explained, adding that lots of details about S.C.O.P.E., including spectacular photos, can be found at www.scopeinfo.com.
