1/8 mile BS

[V-DRIVE VIDEO]

This is how its done! I know a lot of guys (especially jet guys)think nobody drags a full 1/4 at the river but, I beg to differ....this is a sample from RR2 of "Allupinya" vs " 2 Steppin Lookie Lou".
1/4 Race (http://www.v-drivevideo.com/movie/guruconstantino.wmv)

[SUI-CY-COLE DIMARCO]

looks like that old 750 lb hondo of constantino's?...getting some ass from a new big cubic inch canyon......... :argue:

[You Te]

I just love the sound of birds chirping.

[SUI-CY-COLE DIMARCO]

yep just watched again.......he did get some ass and he didnt even have the jump.... :)

[77charger]

i seem to also make full passes at the river.When the conditions are right of course :p

[Jetboatguru]

He only had 10 boats on me from the start you wanna be.

[Kindsvater Flat]

i seem to also make full passes at the river.When the conditions are right of course :p
Wish I went fast enough to worry about conditions.....

[77charger]

Wish I went fast enough to worry about conditions.....
I only go about 40 mph i think i can cover the 1/4 in about 20+seconds.Just fast enough to beat UT.

[SUI-CY-COLE DIMARCO]

Wish I went fast enough to worry about conditions.....
k-flat...from what i know about where you live...you need to worry about rains and heat..what do you got up there..i have corn fields surrounding me...

[stoker2001]

that was a sick race!!!looks to me that the boat on far side was doing 30mph before he hit it

[Kindsvater Flat]

k-flat...from what i know about where you live...you need to worry about rains and heat..what do you got up there..i have corn fields surrounding me...
Cotton, beans, cantelope, watermelon, onions, and squash. After that you're on someone elses property.

[wsuwrhr]

Cool videos Jerry.
Nice beat Guru, I always likes the looks of that boat.
What heads are on the motor, Big Cheifs? They look wierd.
Brian

[You Te]

I only go about 40 mph i think i can cover the 1/4 in about 20+seconds.Just fast enough to beat UT.
I'm sure you could beat me 77, I think it would take me at least 10 minutes (no fins) to complete the FULL 1/4 mile.

[77charger]

I'm sure you could beat me 77, I think it would take me at least 10 minutes (no fins) to complete the FULL 1/4 mile.
so you sayin i could launch the boat then start it and still beat you? :) Damn just might be able to get it back on the trailer too.

[Sanger D]

very BAD ASS footage jerry!!!!! I hope to get a vid soon!!! can,t wait.

[cyclone]

now that's what i'm talkin about.

[meaniam]

man i love the way that thing just took off

[dmontzsta]

Thats hauling the mail. I cant wait for River Rats.

[BGMAN203]

now that's what i'm talkin about.
Wow, a "jet guy" actually giving compliments about a v-drive video. Whats the matter Mike??? you thinking about converting over to the good side?? j/k :argue:

[ACCEPTENCE]

Nice Footage!!!
Kinda make one miss the river ;)

[Rexone]

He only had 10 boats on me from the start you wanna be.
That's bullshit guru, it's quite clear he only had you by about 7-8.

[Cs19]

Definatly big cheifs on that one, Id wager its a minimum of 14:1 too, sounds bad ass. :) gotta love that sound, Id rather hear that over a blower any day.
Guru was runnin him down big time,and the outcome would probably have been alot worse for TC if he had slowed down and paired up with guru..
I agree that was way over a 1/4, I got a full 10 count in from when TS smacked till he let off.
Trust me, myself and a alot of other jet guys I know would go a full 1/4 or more with NO problems in conditions like that.
So much for going to bed, that video just got me FIRED UP.

[Cs19]

BGman...CBBB?

[sdpm]

I'm sure glad that both you guys had your helmets on! :hammerhea

[Jetboatguru]

Chris, you are right it was 14.8:1 and those were Brodix Pontiac heads. The manifold was a Hughes. Iwhen we ran, it was actually Nick Constantino driving. The old guy can definately hang it out there. That was off the bottle since he does not run it I figured we would run em on the motor. That 540 they run in there was bad ass. Mine was a 509. Both of the motors are running steel rods. Damn, I kinda miss the dragboat thing. :(

[Sanger D]

Its always been fun to watch the tonester run the quarter!!!!!where did that yellow canyon go to?

[Jetboatguru]

It went to a guy named Ryan Heiser who owns RPM Marine in Redding. He just won the IHBA/CDBA race in Oregon 2 weeks ago. He let me drive it last weekend at the Sacramento Bridge to Bridge run.

Dude stop lying about the compression and the lack of Nitrous. Naturally aspirated motors don't hit that hard at hit of throttle like yours did. I heard that PGF 146's boat at Bakersfield and that thing sounded alot more mild than yours. Thats how I know you were using the blue pill. You know that it took all you had to had with that LOOKY LOU boat.

[Jetboatguru]

What boat do you have single barrel?

[ColeTR2]

that's killer!! nice work on the video :D

[hack job]

that was bad ass!!

[fltflyn]

that was a badass weekend tony. thanks for all the rides in the tunnel :cool: :cool: . by the way i think i went faster than you did in yeller :D :D :D

[syndicate]

. Damn, I kinda miss the dragboat thing. :(
Starting to wise up I see.
J/k. :p

[sdpm]

Hey Tony, what do you mean by that? Are you not driving any longer?

[dossangers]

I guess once a drag fag always a drag fag NAH!!!Chris, you are right it was 14.8:1 and those were Brodix Pontiac heads. The manifold was a Hughes.

[sdpm]

Tony, forget that circle crap!! If you want to go in circles, go ride a merry-go-round. You know the fastest way to get anywhere is by going in a straight line!! :wink:

[FLYTE RISK]

Chris, you are right it was 17.8:1 and those were Brodix Pontiac heads. The manifold was a Hughes custom built to my specification's. Iwhen we ran, it was actually Nick Constantino driving. The old guy can definately hang it out there I saw only the transom. That was all the bottle, since he does not need it I figured I would run em on the NOS. That 540 they run in there was bad ass. Mine was a 632. Both of the motors are running steel rods. Damn, I think the circle thing is played out, especially the ss which I cannott seem to place first!! :(
Wow guru this does not sound like you... :idea: :)

[sdpm]

Way to funny!! Great job Risk. :)

[Jetboatguru]

Wow guru I cant understand how even after I copied your motor to the T I was still sucking hind tit. I still sucked ass and couldn't beat Sangster. Oh well, I will be Sangsters bitch for another year. :)
Flyte, I tried to tell you that it wasn't about the motor. I told you that you needed to have SOME skills. You're still a cool guy and all but leave the racing to the fast guys.
:wink:

[Snowboat]

Wow guru this does not sound like you... :idea: :)
Do you really need spark plugs at 17.8 to 1?

Wow. Gained 3 points of compression just talking about it. :2purples:

[You Te]

Dude stop lying about the lack of Nitrous.
Well, I did see Mr. Scarlatta do a reach around be before he took off? Bottle perhaps?

[FLYTE RISK]

We dont spark plugs Ken.No with guru's compression , glow plugs would be in order.. :smile:

[FLYTE RISK]

Ya know you are right, you are still a cool guy and all but leave the circle's to TY Newton!! LOL HA HA :eat: :D And I will leave Sangster's boat uhh uhh on the trailer where it likes!!! :D

No, CBBB this year dude, we will have to punch off some other time. Sounds like everyone is going to get some T.V. time too. Have fun.

[BGMAN203]

Is there any video of Guru, or the Lookie Lou at Lost Lake??

[Jetboatguru]

Brian I ran the Cole Cash there a few years back

[*BN*]

Did I hear Cole Cash?
http://www.***boat.com/hbcove/38/4/

[Kindsvater Flat]

Awesome quote.....
"What’s the most fun about this boat?” Tony Scarlata laughs, pointing to his sweet, vintage ’78 Cole TR-2 flatbottom, Cole Cash. “Whipping upon all those weak-ass jet boats.”

[BGMAN203]

Isn't Cole Cash for sale again?? Just though I would help out with a little spam if it was.

[Kindsvater Flat]

I believe so!

Juru.......Which boat was the quickest!

[Jetboatguru]

The one that is in your garage hands down! That thing was lighter than light.

[SUICYCOLE DIMARCO]

The one that is in your garage hands down! That thing was lighter than light.
i personally liked the way the hart attack boat hit out of the hole.

[Sleek468]

Wow, a "jet guy" actually giving compliments about a v-drive video. Whats the matter Mike??? you thinking about converting over to the good side?? j/k :argue:
I'm a jetboat guy that thinks he needs to call the paper tomarrow. I got a 100 mph ride in a v-drive before I bought my jetboat and I said then that I wanted a v-drive. My buddy had my boat for sale with a blown motor for reel cheap, so I bought it. I just saw the videos on that sight for the first time tonight. I keep trying to tell myself that my boat is fast enough, and it works till I click on anouther video. The bad part is I just built the motor up for my jet and just got it tweeked in perfect. It go's about 80 mph, but that ain't enough........ You'll see me in a v-drive soon!!!!!!!

[bondsman]

I've heard harte atttack weights about 440 with strut,fin, and plates.

It's a potato chip, but you can see how quick it is out of the hole.

I remember that "race". That was some jacked up water! :crossx:
Looks like less than an 1/8th mile too. :rollside:

[MandDPerformance]

Well, I did see Mr. Scarlatta do a reach around be before he took off? Bottle perhaps?
For Sure!!!!!! Turn the Volume up and listen at the end of the run to Guru's engine cleaning out for a couple of seconds after he lets off of the gas. The NOs in the manifold takes while to burn out. :) :)

[SCRINC]

For Sure!!!!!! Turn the Volume up and listen at the end of the run to Guru's engine cleaning out for a couple of seconds after he lets off of the gas. The NOs in the manifold takes while to burn out. :) :)
In the vid it looks like the Nos boat left on you guys also... Is that the case or is it just the angle ?

[Jetboatguru]

Lets get something PERFECTLY CLEAR~~
I did reach around and turn the bottle on.
I did NOT use it!! I was trying to line up with Nick but he was moving along at a pretty good clip and I was about 6 or 7 boats behind him when I hit the NON NOS assisted throttle. I was just trying to catch up to him when I hit it and he nailed the throttle before I caught up to him. I could not pull him nor could I catch him. The Lookie Lou was a bad ass ride. Had we started together it would have been a great race. But, Had I run him on the bottle it would not have been such a good race.
Let the flaming begin!!! :rollside: :rollside:

[Moneypitt]

Hey, if Tony says it, it's gotta be true beacuse ............ ........... ........... Well, just cause he's Tony and he said it.........................MP
