"Mean Streak"

[funnycarmike]

Anybody know what is going on with "Mean Streak", the Cole TR-4 that was sold last year. I know wilderthanyou bought the trailer but have not seen or heard any plans with the boat. Just curious. Also, there is a guy out of Pleasonton,CA who is advertising a TR-2 for sale but he is not returning calls..anybody know this guy? Boat still for sale? I have been looking for a runnerbottom , preferably a Cole or Canyon, for a while now but have not had much luck.

I'm still working on it. Going to be a 500" blown injected deal. It will be at the Camp Far West vacation.

[funnycarmike]

Hey, thanks for the reply "Mean Streak". I was just curious. That is a beautiful boat. I hope to see it at camp far west. :)

[MEAN STREAK]

Hey shane, I don't know if you know who I am, but im the guy that hangs around your pit and used to crew on the SE Deaver hydro HOT & BOTHERED. We used to race with your dad back in the day. I sold all my alky stuff to come give you guy's so more compition in bgf class. But if you guy's go to alky, I can alway's buy it back. Mike

[flattie440]

ya we ended up switching to alky...hurt to many parts this year...were going to run the 8 second class..is that boat ready to go....are going to have todd help you out this year?

[blownfool]

can i watch i am a very good spectator.

[flattie440]

billy are racing this year or what...whats the deal?? :rollside:

[blownfool]

i am done driving boats, well at least for this year. i wil be at the first race helping loyd.

[bigkatboat]

"Mean Streak", is that the Gary Baca (Cole) boat? Also, does "dmontzsta" still have that Kurtis? It's like 'old home week' around here.

[MEAN STREAK]

Shane the boat is almost ready I just need a few more things and some time. Todd will start putting the motor together next week hopefully. He want's me to run alky also. He think's im crazy to wan't a gas motor so will see what I end up with. Yes my TR4 is Gary Baca's old boat. He built one bad ass boat im lucky to have it.

[WILDERTHANU]

Ya, that cole is plain SICK!!! Glad to hear you're making progress Mike. Hope it sees the water soon.
Thanx again for the trailer...it fits perfect.

Wild, that thing looks good!!! Did you paint the trailer? post some more pics from the side.

Yes, like he said. More pics of the side and deck.
Thanks

[HEART ATTACK]

I heard Mean Streak will be paddle powered in 06!

[MEAN STREAK]

Harte Attack, hows your cannon boat doing. I think you have more to think about in getting your boat done before your big day. After it happens she will probaly make you sell it any way. Since my TR4 lake/ski boat will be done long before your race boat, you can always back me into the water. My paddle is custom painted to match the boat, so it wouldn't be that bad.

[HEART ATTACK]

I'm only going to have a litte single carb motor......I can't compete with painted paddles and beach towels with "MEAN STREAK" on them. It better be quick!

[Cs19]

Ive seen this boat at Big river a few times.HBjet raced him a few times.

[Bobbo541]

Funnycarmike I know who is selling the 82 TR2 i will if i can get ahold of him for you. Did you try his cell phone 925-577-0539.That boat is very nice.

[CircleJerk]

The nicest TR2 up here is certainly for sale as its owner 'Beisemeyer34' looks for another b-boat. It is sold with or without the wild roller 421 Pontiac. It formerly was blown with MT goodies galore. This boat has seen water only once that I know of! Its original white gel coat with chrome-polish and black anodizing through out. Looks like a new old stock boat, and I know its priced way below market value.

BWAAAAHAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
My money is on hell freezing over. :rolleyes: :) :) :rolleyes:

[HEART ATTACK]

So true!!!!!!

[funnycarmike]

O.k. I have been away from the'puter for a few days...Thanks guys for the replies, Bobbo541, Paul just called me, thanks for getting a hold of him. Circlejerk, I am also very interested in the boat you mentioned, I can be reached at (916)203-8495 or at michaelirwinracing.com. One last note, the TR-2's that Pete Giroux is building look awesome, however, this being my first flat I am looking for one that is already rigged (preferably at Coles or by Mettler, or somebody who knew what they were doing). THANK YOU guys for all the info.

[funnycarmike]

I screwed up, the e-mail is down at my web site but this one works...funnycarmike@surewest.net. THANKS.

[MEAN STREAK]

I am surely humbled by the presence of the ever popular "GURU", on such a inconsequential thread. I did not think a thread about an old Cole ski boat would ever inspire the the one they call "GURU" to give his positive criticism on. I have admired your driving, along with thousands of other people, for a very long time. Again "GURU" thank you for your kind words, and I will take $100 on the that bet.

[Jetboatguru]

Come on Mike! Where is the love? I figured you had thicker skin than that! I can remember two or three years ago when you were at Joey's shop deciding which motor you were going to put in the Dimarco.
Its all good Mike, you know I will help you out with anything you need.

[MEAN STREAK]

Alright Heart Attack or Harte Attack? First you need to go to your garage and look on the deck of that cannon boat and get the correct spelling. I don't even own that boat and I know more about it than you do. Wait a minute, I just called the DMV and it seem's that I do still own that boat. I guess I could call the "Dog" bounty hunter to get it back for me. Any way, my boat is alot closer to being done than yours is.

[MEAN STREAK]

Tony, you know I have nothing but respect for you and will definitely need all of the help I can get from you. I have very thick skin, so keep it coming.

[HEART ATTACK]

Mean Streaks accomplishments in 4 years.....
1) Completely dismantled 3 flatbottoms
a)Mean Streak...One of the most beautiful flatbottoms in the
country.
b)Harte Attack...One of the quickest "Boats" in the country. I
spelled "HEART ATTACK" that way for a
reasons
c) Dimarco....Needed some TLC.
2) Completely dismantled 4 engines
a) 525ci blown alcohol motor. (Fuel system need a little
adjustment)
b) 427ci dual carburator. (Mean Steak motor)
c) You still haven't put together your go kart motor and you
never did get your high school shop class lawmower motor
back together.

[HEART ATTACK]

I am looking for one that is already rigged (preferably at Coles or by Mettler, or somebody who knew what they were doing). THANK YOU guys for all the info.
