As of Saturday Night that was the fastest boat (they ran again Sunday) in Sacramento, Skater had a 146 in cat class,we at Pfaff got beat by 2 mph to a 43 Scarab Poker run edition ( maybe the bathroom sink bed closet couch and 6 people slowed us down) 113 mph for the Scarab. 1 Eliminator 26 Daytona spun out at 86 mph (just getting going) when a power steering belt flew off. Anybody else there???

Yep, we were there. On the water Saturday and on the porch at Rio City Sunday. What a fantastic weekend! Check out the bridge to bridge thread in "hotspots west", that's where we've been talking about it.
We were on the tower bridge Sunday morning when the top fuel hydro made its runs.......we heard 177 on the loudspeaker!!! He was freakin flyin! And damn do I love that thunderous sound or a true drag boat.
Check that thread for some other results....but what a great time! Glad to hear you ran the event without issues. This was a big turnout and next year will be even better with the increasing popularity of big-ticket hot boating.
See ya,
