When I was a kid, I had a mini truck with a pretty built Chevy 327 in it. Turbo 350 trans, 4.11 gears, McCreary street slicks...etc. It was the fastest car in my high school (probably ran 11's...which was fast back in the stone age).
That pretty much proved that with enough power...you can make anything fast...
...but do you really want to? After all...it was still a mini truck. :idea:

[Havasu Hangin']

No...the mini-truck was PD (Pre Dawnn). The traction bars, glass-packs, and auto-eject cassette were cutting edge back then! :supp:
HH I dont believe you maybe you should post a pic and a time sheet :p
Sorry...they didn't have cameras back then...and the "hourglass" timing wasn't very accurate. :notam:

[Robbie Racer]

Keep dreaming he did the same speed in Sac at the bridge to bridge :cry: :boxed:
He ran 142 on radar at the Bridge to Bridge last July. The water and air conditions at Havasu are much better than at Sacramento.

I noticed that and they refer to one of the boats as a walk through but it's clearly a cuddy. :rolleyes:

Riverotter you better go look at that shockwave again its a closed bow :D

[Robbie Racer]

Ill have Mark call you to tell you. :idea:
I stand corrected. The official scorecard had Mark's best run marked down at 143 (according to the official radar gun) in Sacramento. (See attached pic). Due to the angle of the radar, he was probably actually going 146. At least that's the difference that I saw between GPS and the radar gun.
I think that boat is one of the nicest boat's in that size range that I have ever seen. The only thing that I would be concerned about if I owned it, would be a possible failure of one of the SC drives at 150 mph. Those drives aren't known for long term reliability with 1150 hp engines and if one let go at that speed I shudder to think how it would affect the handling of the boat. :2purples: I think #6 drives or Wiseman's would have been a better choice of drives from a safety point of view.

[Eliminator 4 Life]

:jawdrop: I guess you got me there you got a picture showing the speeds :D

[Robbie Racer]

143 is still darn impressive on that course with sticky water and hot air quality conditions. :D

[Eliminator 4 Life]

So RR where do you got boating at and do you have smooth as glass do alot of work for you??

[Robbie Racer]

We boat all over the NorCal area at places like Berryessa, Shasta, the delta, Don Pedro, New Malones, Oroville, Nacimiento and San Antonio. Where to you go boating? I'm surprised that I haven't seen your boat before.
I haven't used Smooth as Glass on the Carrera yet but I will be contacting them soon to repair a few dings. They did a great job of fixing the crack in the side of the "Bitch Quick" drag boat that I caused after I went out and over the side last March during a test sesson at Modesto. :2purples:

[RiverOtter]

Riverotter you better go look at that shockwave again its a closed bow :D
Oh yeah.
Westcoast = Closed bow
Eastcoast = Cuddy = Closed Bow
My Bad :hammerhea

Well I from Lake Don Pedro I usually go there or the Delta. What kinda of drag boat do you got? A good friend of the family had one called blown bucks used to run out of Hog Back on the Delta ring any bells. Im suprised I havent seen you before either well if you see me my name is Robbie to so it wont be hard to remember :D

Im curious, how exactly was the radar placed that caused a 3MPH difference, showing a slower speed?

Kilr we cant tell you that you should have been there :p

[Eliminator 4 Life]

:eek: Now I have seen it all. I was looking into the hot boat magazine a little further when have you ever seen a 25 foot shockwave with twins :argue: The Boat they have in there is a 29 how the hell :mad:

I think Havasu hanging was drinking some of the CIg juice when he was proof reading

I don't remember a Blown Bucks drag boat but it could have been running before I got into drag boat racing (in 1997). I owned and drove "Risky Business" a 19' Daytona Pro Gas Jet drag boat in both the NJBA and IHBA from 1998 through 2001. But the boat that I cracked the side when I was thrown out was a 18' CP light weight drag tunnel called "Bitch Quick" owned by Harold Traylor out of Modesto. I will look for you at some of the local boating events this summer and introduce myself.
Kilrtoy, the reason that the radar and GPS numbers are off at the Bridge to Bridge event is because of the way the course is laid out. In order to get the correct speed reading on radar, you need to be heading straight towards or away from the gun. At the Sacramento course that is difficult to do because you have to pass under a bridge with pylons that are fairly close together (at least it looks like they are close at high speed) right after you pass the gun. As soon as you go under that bridge you have to make a fairly hard left hand turn due to the rivers direction. Most drivers aim further left away from the gun in order to better negotiate that turn and that throws the radar readings off a few mph.

[Kilrtoy]

At ten degrees the radar is still acurate, so to lose 3 mph they would have to be off quite a bit. Ill do the math later, the wife is yelling to get ready....

IT was a Shovel nose Sanger blown and injected it ran around 125mph.I will look forward to meeting you RR.

Good point. What's even funnier, If I read it right. The pics show twin Scorpions. The right up shows a 496???

I read it this morning and I was suprised at the amount of blantant mistakes...specifically the Shockwave test where they are saying 25, and the pics are of a 29 with twins...Do they proof read?
