C'MON CHIEF what were the #'S ???????.
8.70's @ 120 mph :D Had a great time and the boat ran well. I took it a little easy being my first time and all ;) so I'm sure that the boat has another 2 or 3 tenths in it and I'm sure the driver with a little more seat time has another couple of tenths so I'm hoping with this package low 8's in the upper 120's. As eraser said a big thanks to all who were so helpful. Biggest rookie mistake- forgetting to put the lanyard and kill switch cap onto the new chute jacket and realizing it while in the launch line ( thanks to eraser's public servant physical training -jogging back to the pit to retrieve it and not passing out on the way back.) Second knucklehead move- trying to put the jacket on upside down-- just couldn't figure out where those leg straps were going to go........... All in all a great time, looking forward to the next meet.
8.70 @ 120 !!! Holly Crap.
"first time out" "Took it easy"
You are even cooler than the dentist Steve Martin played in little shop of horrors. :idea:

Was your boat the blue flatty with a painted scoop to match running in the RR class? If so, that is one beautiful boat and congrats on the numbers!
HBjet
I know the boat HB is talking about, yes it is beautiful.. DJDplacecraft ran him first round I believe.. I watched from the rope, that was one of my favorite runs from the weekend.
Although watching Ace of Spades leave the line right next to me was cool too.

No I ran him in the 2nd round and he beat me but redlighted. Mine is the red boat with white and yellow flames on the front.

That is great Sangerboy!!! You must be thrilled, I know I would be.
Well we were going to stick with the small blower on the new motor, but you ruined any chance of that :cry: . I guess we're going to have to step up to a 12 or 14 to keep up with the Jones. :) Congrats again!!

Do you have a photo? I remember every boat I see... and I'm sure I saw it because that does sound familiar.

I dont think that i ran that fltty i paired up with two of them and beat them both but only due to cutting a decent light.Both ran more mph and faster et than me.

Nice numbers Greg. Leave a little in the bottle for my appt. next week. Tks.
We are still looking for a female driver to drive the #737 HIGH MAINTENANCE hydro. Both #030 and #737 had some pretty " OFF " reaction times. Just kidding? :) Mike T. did a great job as always. Well maybe not so great for " BIG RED". Sorry hammer! :cry: See you at the next race. Neil

Mike said I had to bring my own helmet so I let him know I will have it with me in November.
Do they still let you guys practice Thursday am before the race?
Nice meeting you Saturday.

The bakersfield race is just a fri-sat deal. No test and tune. The phoenix race is a 4 day race. Im quite sure thurs will be a test and tune. It looks like they might even start eliminations on sat. Are you going to phoenix? We never got to meet luvnlife! :cry: Maybe next time. Have fun and try to stay dry? Neil

No Phoenix for us. But I think the Luvnlife's will be there. I will tell them to look you up. I am working on getting them back here in November though so you guys can hook up then if they come. :D
I was hoping for my ride on Thursday. Darn. ;) :supp:
See you guys soon.

Yes if everything go's as planned and if we can slow the boat down at the next bakersfield race we will be there. Talk to you soon. Neil

Thanks Mike, at least your good for something. Did you see the pic's on drag boats? Great shots. Those were the ones I was trying to get here. I think the clocks were off. Your reaction times were way off and so were all of the other guys that always cut great lights. O well.

10-20-2004, 06:22 PM
how about 159?? and that was on a bad pass I didn't hit third gear until the mph lights at the finish line so actually you should be preparing for 160 plus, you better familiarize yourself with where the chute lever is.

I don't know if we need too know about anymore bars in bakersfield although that one does sound interesting
No, I think this is one that we DO need to know about. Not that I go to bars or anything? You did look a little rough on sat. A.M. . Did you feel as bad as you looked?

Can't help you on the bar. Sorry never heard of it. But, I will ask around.
You need to ask unforgiven he would be the expert on that I think. :D

It was something with IRISH in it's name I think? Like Irish Pub or Irish Inn . Don't remember.

WOW!!!!
And I got all excitited last race when I saw 165 mph and he had to pull the chute. :) :rollside:
My husband just informed me we met you and your family on the 2nd Dam Run. It was at the first stop and he pulled up next to you and asked if your boat was the one that did 141 mph and you told him your boat would not do more than 127 mph but you said you had the family at the time. :)
Ok I am ready for the next race Helmet is in the car. :wink:

Murphy's Tavern? Tam O'Shanter? Riley's? Dugan's? Just a guess.
Why do I scare?
Don't worry I scare my husband too.
Ask him sometime about me racing Auto Cross!?!? :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :D
