Congrats to K80

[Jetboatguru]

Just got word from Clyde Morgan that during testing at Irvine this week the boat ran 153mph. That will be a tough number to beat. Congrats Team Rankin!

[dmontzsta]

[dmontzsta]

I heard he is going to run Comp Jet this year. :D

[Rattle Can Lou]

I call Horseshit on the whole thing. Let's see some GPS photos or somebody else that was there. I talked to Sammons and he said there is no fricken way. I can't get ahold of Billy but Sammons says that Billy won't believe it either. I talked to Guru and he said he personally knows that without the Joey Grose power that those kinda numbers are not attainable. I called Dufff and he said this was Horseshit. He says he knows that Gordy can't build that kinda power. Leave it to Gordy to boost the numbers just like his heighth.

[Flat Hall'N]

oh my!! That's fast!
That's puckering speed!!

[BILLY.B]

Wow...Who was drivng it on Tuesday??????. Dave was stuck at the airport in Phoenix and we know Gorgy couldn't get off work, not to mention he wouldn't be able to see over the wheel....Must of been Julian....:D

[biesemeyer]

This can't be true. Tony didn't throw in any gay chit!::eek:

[dossangers]

What's a K-80?? top secret weapon ? Oh i get it now!

[dave n]

Yes, the K-80 was radared at 153.9. Gordy was driving, however, trying to keep it quiet so Katie wouldn't find out.

[Rattle Can Lou]

Somebody made the mistake of telling Billy...end of secret.

[Rexone]

Lou you sound like you have some level of animosity towards Billy lately. :confused:

[FlatStupid]

Somebody made the mistake of telling Billy...end of secret.Really??? He kept the last one pretty good. Congrats Gordy and Dave, we will try and have something to at least keep it interesting:D

[Jetboatguru]

I just spoke to a buddy that was at the Lake and he said Gorgy drove it. Evidently, Rankin brought with him 2 of the largest phonebooks you have ever seen,( you know the ones from China) and two 2x6 pieces of wood for the pedals. Congrats on the phenominal numbers guys!

[JakeC.]

those are some impresive numbers. that will make for one good show if there are a coulpe of other k's out there doing around the same speed.

[VDRIVERACING]

Looks like the K's are back to absolutley frightening speeds. Was thinking about skipping Ming. Now I wouldn't miss it. Oh, uh, anyone interested in paying my way??? Didn't think so...

Umm Gilligan,

[Rattle Can Lou]

Gordy, If you were to read my post a couple a times do ya think you could here Billy anywhere in there???? But as Winston Churchill told Lady Chatterly when she said, "your nothing but a loathsome drunk!" He in turn says "Yes Lady Chatterly I am drunk, but in the morning I will be sober my love, and you will still be ugly". I say to you Gordy,"yes I am fat, but a good diet and some exercise could make me slim again. You in turn are short, and that will still be true tomorrow and the next day and the day after that......"

[Roaddogg 4040]

Ouch!!! :D

[Hud]

[Jetboatguru]

Gorgy,
"hi" would mean you are saying hello to somebody.
"high" would be the word you are looking for Junior. :confused:

[Monkey Bung]

those are some impresive numbers. that will make for one good show if there are a coulpe of other k's out there doing around the same speed.
Jake,

[JakeC.]

Jake,

[downunder race fan]

Shame that boat never made the trip Downunder ! 153mph would be right on the money to catch the leading Aussie boat !:) :)

[MAXIMUS]

Yea but the problem here is that once they remove the circus monkey from the drivers seat & stick that other dude in the they scrub off 35 mph...:notam:

[gn7]

[FlatStupid]

This time i'm innocent. You are always going after Gordy. So leave me out of it!!!!!

[Rattle Can Lou]

Man are you touchy!!!!! Settle down big fella. I think you know the truth. You don't honestly think I'm that stupid do ya? I would never go after one of my childhood idol's like that. Gordy's the man...I hope they turn 158 tomorrow. You know I got your back.
