All that and you ar'nt even going to show up to hand out the spankings. Also you forgot to mention the 300hp squeeeze bottle you run.

It sucks not being able to go to the BBSP. Would have loved to have gone but we are racing that weekend. The 130mph was without the bottle but I don't think it will run any faster with it. Looks like the whackas will dominate again once again. Maybe someone could mail me a rubber chicken?

is salt water slower or what? because it's more dense? jus' curious

[STV_Keith]

Salt water has more bouyancy, so it's faster...and you're usually at "sea level".
Hey 77, do you think that thing would stay together for a mile of WOT?

96 Rapid Crap Riot, a heavy LAKE BOAT, with a 2.5 and tons of notrous, it runs a good solid 80 MPH with a top end prop. It's some what slower with a drag prop 68 MPH but much quicker.
