great photo riverratmike, where do i get more to purchase? yes we did stop, we had a throttle linkage issue, luckily it was a quick fix we only lost a minute or so, definately did make the heart flutter at first. division 1 does not allow for many mistake, there is no such thing as making up time on the track. if you lift you stop.
I might have a few more photos of the boat, I'll have to look. I took photos of every boat at least twice that went by.
I had so much fun at the races. We only lasted 24 laps but we looked good for 24 laps!!!!I cannot wait for next year!!
i think the handicaps are pretty close now. i have lap times from every boat that ran and if the fastest boat could have maintained their pace within a 10 percent margin per lap they would have beat the 555 team. the handicap can not be factored to allow for potential breakdowns or unscheduled pit stops. it should continue to be based upon boat potential alone. the 555 boat is 21' and ran a 150hp outboard vs warpath at 1800 hp (awesome) . however, it would not be fair to factor in that 1800hp may blow a drive so we should allow extra time for that? i have to prepare a 2.0 to run 7000 rpm for 4hrs, its not easy, bigger, faster, is always more fun for the viewer but it doesn't mean its better. cost is also a factor, what i did this year could be accomplished by many regular guys that are working on a budget, lots of labor, set up and testing. the classes are fair it just takes lots of prep time and some good luck regardless of what you run. I bet truth be told you could pick a boat from any class take its best lap time and find out it could have won if they could have ran that all day long. thanks again to all the officials, your program is great. joe
