They were caught pretty off guard, but for all the trouble we had finishing it, it ran pretty hard for first time out. We actually finished it at the river about 3 hours before he raced Mike. It had 4 test passes at Harris' house 1 hardware change and off to the races. Breaking it off sideways:eek: might be a little harsh, but funny.:D We will be putting the bottle on it and getting after the set up for Labor Day so I think it will be a Player in the GOLD CUP stable.:) :)

Wow that thing sure looks alot like ? Well as to off guard I can honestly say we had no idea. That was a true suprise. I will tell you this that I would have treated him differently had I known that he was coming after ME. I invited the lieing traitor in the dino room while we where making pulls on my motor (Thanks Steve). I told him every thing and so did Shoe. He has been officially cut of from the river shop, I hope he has an express pass to lost lake where he can hang with his new race team and work on his $hit there. Harris sold his sole to the devil on this one. What I can`t believe is how many people knew of this and helped him.
AS for me calling him a (has been) well he is a (has non) money that is, now I am sure I cost him more money than he ever Imagined in spending :idea: I guess I won there. Atleast I DRUMMED up another player.
I am not one for giving excuses so here it is. He beat me 2 out if 3 time motor to motor. The Boat runs good. Had I known he was coming I would have done some different things but that might not have worked either. I guess I could tell you guys that my pump was eating itself and I was sinking:D (just for you cyclone)
I am looking forward to the on going rivaulery he has created.
THANK YOU Harris I no longer have to feel sorry for the things I did and the things I am going to do now.
AS for the rest of you guys Damn I am starting to think that there are only 2 members of blue cup and I can see it is going to be very lonley for a while.
I can see that if it where not for Good old gold cup harris would still be on the couch

Rule one never take your pants off. Give Harris his due his boat runs hard. If he needs any part or help from me while at Lost lake I would give him what ever he needs same as you Mike D. To ban the guy because he sawed you off is kinda bull. Well I guess when we race on Labor day and if I were to beat you not that my little 470 has a chance but will I get baned also. See you guys Labor day.

Nice...
There are no free agents in mafia john...blood in blood out, its more then boating its a lifestyle. There is a 12 step program to get in, and a (2) 30 pack program to get out. Nutzzzzzzzzzz
This whole deal is hilarious, Im shocked the word didnt get out, nice work gettin it done and making the races guys, boat looks nice too! I wanted to come watch but I was testing out in Needles.
Re-match Labor Day should be entertaining.

First, congrats to Harris and the boys for building a very nice looking and fast boat! I didn't think a secret could be kept in this industry. Good job!:D
As for Mike D. being a little upset with the way thier "data" was gathered, I completely understand. :devil:
We all work hard and spend a ton of cash to make our boat slighlty faster than the next guy. We also share information with our friends to a certain extent. To use your unknowing buddy as a bench mark only to make sure that you "one up him" kinda takes the fun out of it.
However, it did throw lots of fuel on the fire for Labor day!
See ya!

As far as how we got our data, all of the motor data came from me and only me. This motor and actually the whole project has been in the works for about a year, we knew what we were going to do long before Mikes boat was finished. The boat set up and hardware came mostly from me and what I have been running in my Daytona and other boats I have set up. Don"t forget Harris used to do this pretty successfully in the 80's and didn't forget very much. He came up with some of the hardware are using right now, and if you take a look the hardware couldn't more different between the two boats.

Its funny. Harris builds a boat and it runs fast. Now people are upset because someone built a faster boat than someone else. Come on ladies. While this is competitive, in the end its for fun. Its about drinking beers and talking $hit. Racing is meant to be competitive. Everyone here spends money to make their boat a little faster than their buddies. If Mike D. had one of the fastest boats prior to Harris launching his, than Mike D. should be kissing Harris's bean bag. Because now he has a goal. There is someone else to beat. Something to work towards. But kicking him off of the team. Oh boo hoo.
Winning all the time is boring. What makes racing fun is that there is a chance someone is faster than you. So you prep, spending countless hours shaving weight, tuning your motor to be faster and when you beat that person that moment of exhilaration, knowing you just kicked their a$$. Feeling the rush of adrenaline and tasting victory. Thats what racing is about. When its over you go back to the beach or to that guys house and you crack a cold beet and start talking $hit.
If you want to win all the time without any challenge. Then buy yourself a PS3, save 20large and sit on the couch and play video games. Make sure the level is on easy.
