So who was?

[phebus]

So who was the first boat to the first card stop?

[Kilrtoy]

im really curious also

[Magic34]

I'll see if I can get a hold of the Magic group hosting the first stop...

[phebus]

Thanks, there was a lot of hype, now I want to see who delivered.

[HCS]

Wasn't me, I know that. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[phebus]

Talk of the East coast boats coming out, I hope we sent them home empty.

[Magic34]

No answer

[Kilrtoy]

Predator............
Just got the call......

[phebus]

Rumor had it that some "work" was done to Predator. I wonder what speeds were hit.

[phebus]

Oh, and thanks Kilr. :D

[Magic34]

Just talked to the people from card stop #1, Confrim that Predator was first.

[wantacat]

I read over on OSO.com that predator is the new king of havasu.

[Dave4XTC]

I heard that the top speed was 171MPH on GPS

[Jbb]

Props to Predator.......My Buds Nortech had some ....er.... technical issues ...but ran very strong on Friday...He had nothing but nice things to say about the run and the people !!!

[phuggit]

Predator was third or fourth when they passed us southbound on the first leg. We were anchored just south of Steamboat. I dont know the name of the boat which was in first, but it had a good lead and sounded strong. About ten minutes later, Predator passed by northbound haulin ass and in the lead. The next boat by was about three minutes behind Predator.
Talking to some peeps in the channel later. I was told they were flying the RRL flag from their boat while anchored and watching the poker run just south of where we were. The boat in the lead mistaked them and the white RRL flag as a card stop...dohhhhhh. When they figured out their mistake, Predator and the rest of the pack had passed them.

[cola]

Who flipped there Skater in Speed Alley on Friday ?

[djunkie]

As far as I could tell Predator was first by a nice distance. I was a little south of Black Meadows on the Az. side. Predator had a nice lead by this point. Also it looked as if our own 3DO was not doing too bad. Wasn't sure if it was him or not but he was hanging in there. I saw no sign of Bling.

this is true..sucks that he had made the mistake but on the way back I believe that he did reclaim the lead.

[Dusty Times]

At 171 there isn't anymore explaining to do. I'll post a picture of the 171 GPS speedo to proove it.
There were also two cameras on Gary's boat to explain more but I doubt thats needed.
They had to follow the pace boat until Predator was able to jump out as far as he did. :D

[Dusty Times]

There is alot of credit due to all that attended the poker run especially to the ones that drove so far (Mike Fior of Outer Limits and many more). There were many fast boats and great drivers. (No injuries that I knew of)
Thanks very much to Jim, Art, and the whole crew that put it on. And made it safe & fun.

[KACHINA KEN]

Larry Peto Motors, Preadator, Sent Em All Home Wondering W-t-h Just Happened!

[bohica]

When talking with Gary yesterday, he said a few boats jumped the start. He made the turn at BML and hammered the throttles. Smoked them all down. Great job Gary.
Heard about one injury, one of the big Skaters hit one of the tour boat wakes. Launched pretty good and came down hard. Passenger's head and knee met and busted up his head pretty good.
What happend to Bling, didn't see him out.

[WetWillie]

Mr Bling blew a tranny the day before.. Called all over to get a replacment and just couldnet get one in time!! So he didnt run!

[C-2]

Larry Peto Motors, Preadator, Sent Em All Home Wondering W-t-h Just Happened!
That's pretty much the best way to describe it. :eek: :eek:
Down and back in 15 minutes, including the 65mph cruise behind the paceboat until Havasu Palms, and the approach to the card station. Pretty darn quick.
Gary just kicks arse.

[Eliminator 4 Life]

Well can we have some details on the predator what kind of boat motors a pic??? Oh was it a Eliminator ha ha :)

If this was at the start of the PR it was the Skater next to us. He hit a roller an launched. Almost pointed to 12:00 when it tripped the transom and smacked down hard. We hit the same roller at 125 and launched. Smacked down hard and lost a fuel pump.
It was a great start. 5 or 6 boats jumped the start. With all the spray it was hard to see the start flag. One of the lead boats I understand wasn't even registered in the Poker Run which caused some confusion. It was a bitchen day. Great poker run that was well organized. Good job Jim N and team!!!!

LARRY PETO MOTORS. I keep tellin ya'll

[unleashed]

I was at the start and a couple of boats took off early including me before they dropped the flag. Im pretty positive it was Gone again and Predator that took off early. The rest of the field waited for the flag to drop which was a good 40 or 50 seconds after predator and gone again took off. After I realized I had left early I felt like an ass and waited for the rest of the field than continued to run. The first boat to the card stop should be from the field that waited for the flag to drop. Not sure whom it was but I think it could have been a Nortech and than bobbit in his skater. It was another great event and no injuries just a few broken boats. I have to give it up to Jim and Art and the rest of the crew.

Thanks to Art & Jim for putting on a great event (although...the pair of threes wasn't what I had hoped for). :idea:
Dusty- good seeing you out there...too bad we were in different groups.

I have some pics to post tonight. Most came out pretty good. Very cool to watch those guys screaming past Black Meadow. Only saw one channel accident some guy in a shockwave backed into the side of a DCB mach26 at a pretty good speed ( have pics of the damage ). Overall great weekend.

We saw the PEGGED F29 swap nose to tail about 3x right in front of us and then pull over(I think to wipe up his seats, they had to be doing100+).

Was it a I/O and was the color yellow/white or red/white?

Did anyone see that single engine cat..it was red.. with a nice paint job on it.. it looked to be about 26-30' it was hauling ass.. and set perfect.. I was really impressed at the water it was going over.. Maybe a really good driver.. who knows ..but still.. very impressive..

[KROOZIN]

Wait ,,, I thought this WASN'T a race. ha,ha,ha,
You're right!!! I wasn't out to proove anything, just streching the legs on my new boat. I had Keith Holmes (driver of Cat Can Do) helping me with the controls, and all 6 people in my boat felt safe and comfortable. Even my wife (big surprise)! We were only 3/4 throttle and had the drives tucked, we didn't get loose or upset the boat, like a few others, off that big tour boat wake!! It was like riding in a big convertible caddy.
Kudos to Pete at Douglas Marine, and Jack at Baker Engineering!!

I should probably be careful saying this, because when Allstate finds out what they've insured I'll probably lose the coverage. I kept the policy open when I sold my Cigarette and my broker somehow replaced the Cig with the Skater...$4500 a year.
The other quote I got was $14K a year and had to take Tres Martin's school. He drives V-bottoms so what good is his school for cat owners? www.Bullockmarine.com
Special thanks to Bruce Bullock for putting this whole enchilada together and sending Keith Holmes (awesome guy and driver) to teach me how to drive her!

Beautiful boat!

[C-2]

The important thing is everybody made it down safe. Teague’s little game at the drivers meeting really put things into perspective.
It was a great show and gotta give it up for the heavy hitters who played by the rules. Powerboat magazine staff said they had never seen a more awesome display of hardware at ANY poker run in the nation (and yes, that includes LOTO, Florida, New Jesrey/NY and the Great Lakes).
Although the start could have been better, serious progress was made with the Coast Guard. CG officials had not only Chief Todd Taylor controlling the run from land at Spectator Point, but he also had CG officers on the water in the IMCO pace boat and on Kachina26’s safety boat. At the end of the day, all CG officials were pleased with run and next year the start should be dialed in.
:)

[Jrocket]

Teague’s little game at the drivers meeting really put things into perspective.
And what was that?

[Flashwave]

And what was that?
He ask all the 100 mph + boat teams to come forward. Then ask all who were less that 110 to step back, then less than 120 then less than 130, then less than 140, then less than 150 then only a handful remained. There seemed to be over 20, 100 mph + boats. 3 or 4 over 150.

He ask all the 100 mph + boat teams to come forward. Then ask all who were less that 110 to step back, then less than 120 then less than 130, then less than 140, then less than 150 then only a handful remained. There seemed to be over 20, 100 mph + boats. 3 or 4 over 150.
And afterward, he said that now we all know how fast each other's boats are...
...there's no reason to race. :notam:

Didn't the CRC boat come in right behind the Predator? I heard he came in right behind him. Pretty good seeing as how the Predator has twin 1300hp Larry Peto motors.. and the CRC Boat has twin 750 Mercs.

Sorry I wasn't clear, ChumpChange. Bob has a unique way of making things look bigger than life. It's not often you see this many, or this caliber of true 100 mph + fast boats in one place. These were they guys that can stay on it for miles ... not 1/4 miles. He for sure wanted everyone to know it. The "no reason to race" thing is just wishful thinking. :)

Kroozin, just wanted to say what a incredible boat you have. Very nice!

[KROOZIN]

Thanks River Rat!

[Huckleberry]

I was checking ut RiverRatMike's storm photos and thought it would be cool to see Kroozin's Skater photochopped into one of those pics.

[KROOZIN]

I've got an awesome video of the Poker Run start from inside my boat.... it's on a newer video camera but not digital...8mm (I think)
Is it possible to convert it to digital???

[KROOZIN]

You guys (& gals) have got to see this video! It's the 36 Skater(Pammy) then 40' Skater (Blow Out) then me, then Predator, then Bobbitt's 40' Skater, then In-Mocean 36' Skater, all side by side shootin roosts to the sky....then hammer down (or knuckles to the dash!)
I can play it on my TV ....could I record it on a DVD recorder??? HELP...

[KROOZIN]

Call me a Jack-Ass....this camera is digital, but it has a little tape inside....I guess I need to break down and get the intructions out... :devil:

Kroozin,
Beautiful boat. Amazing paint.
Here's a phone number to call re: dvd-- 714-3450666. His name is Justin and he is a big boat fan and very computer savy. He works with Carbon Fiber, boat sound systems, computers and converts home movies, stills, slides, etc to DVD and adds sound(music, narration, etc.) Talented guy. Give him a call. (Sorry if this sounds like a commercial).

If you wanna send me the video, I can edit it and get it on the site...no worries.

[Dave C]

that is some incredible detail in that paint job. Especially around the scoop where they made the scoops look like they are breaking out of the boat! :sqeyes:
No wonder they charge so much for the paint job.. Such nice results! :devil:
Here ya go! :wink:

GREAT...I've recorded it on to a VHS tape...is that what you want or do I down load it first then email it to you? I'm thumbs still when it comes to computers....gettin better every day... :hammer2:

[KROOZIN]

The camera is likely a MiniDV. It should have a firewire flug on it somewhere. If you have a computer with firewire input, just plug the camera into the computer and some software will start automatically that will allow you to record/edit the video to your computer. Save it as an .avi or .wmv file and then you can post it. It's really pretty easy if you can work a computer.
I'm going to go ahead and embarrass myself here and say what's a firewire? I know the tool box, not the keyboard.
Not USB....right?

[Magic34]

Didn't the CRC boat come in right behind the Predator? I heard he came in right behind him. Pretty good seeing as how the Predator has twin 1300hp Larry Peto motors.. and the CRC Boat has twin 750 Mercs.
That is bad a$$ that you are into boating that much. :cool:

I have a mini-DV recorder...if you can't get it off the tape and onto your computer (to e-mail it to me), you can just drop it in the mail.
It's gonna be a big file.

That would have been Jerry Sorrentino!! I think it was before the start when everyone was getting pinned down in that narrow section.

I don't think so....my buddy the novice filmer, was panning aound from side to side.....not to mention I had Predator's rooster to look through :D
Lance got hosed down by me and Pammy...I didn't even know it till later....he says, "screw you guys, next time I'm trading paint!"
Bobbitt says he got hosed down too!

When I talked to him I thought he said he was running the throttles,but I could be wrong.I think Mike was driving.
