i went 2 the gadsden race and had a great time. i ran in the m/e class. there were 18 boats in the class. qualified poorly at the no. 14 spot. got 2 chances to qualify and the first was a 9.977. moved the timing back a little and the next was a 10.220. needless to say, i put the timing back where it was. in my first round i cut a .058 light and ran a 10.001. got buy that round and the competition for round two was a good running clamp-on. i turned the red light on with a .010 so the remainder of the day i was a spectator. the weather was great except for a rain shower about 7:30 p.m. sat nite which did`nt affect the race at all. the dragonator fuel boat won the race because the other fuel boat red lighted with a 244 mph, 4,80something time. now i`m looking forward to next years race in gadsden. my next race will be in evansville il. in about two weeks. gotta work on that reaction time.
Yea we went, it was a great race, lucked up and dodged the rain. The Hot Licks Bullet tried out some new props on Saturday and made a u turn on the start around the timing clock. The folks over at DragBoatRacing.com (http://dragboatracing.com/default_f_...bbc_default.ht ml)did a great job as all races and posted live round by round results too!

Hey Richard, don't worry about working that reaction time for Evansville! Actually there's a good possibility I'll be running T/E, so you might have a chance.See you in Evansville!
I believe it was milten tolens boat.
You are absolutely correct Robert!

I mistook Gadsden for Augusta pics. I stand corrected.
So sorry.
Adam, i found my picture on the 89-96 page. you need to look at it to real well. it does`nt show the back end of the boat but do`nt worry about that. you`ll get a good at it if you dont run off to another class and are unlucky enough to be paired up with me.
Hey TAF I finally posted a few pics in the Kodak thread...
