The red Elminator won his class, he ran 125mph. He claims after the nos it's around 1600hp. We got a chance to talk to him when we were going home yesterday, he flung one blade off of his prop and the rest were all twisted. (but there wasn't a scratch on it)

So who was the big dog? Was there a new record set and if so by whom?

So who was the big dog? Was there a new record set and if so by whom?Miss Bud was the big dog at 192. I disagree with them on letting her in the compation. A sponson boat will bet a cat boat ever time with the same motor and water conditions. You don't see sponson boats racing in the off shore races. All they wanted was there picture on the cover of Powerboat. Bad deal

First of all this is just speculation so nobody can hold me to this but who is David Scott's sponsor? Exactly, Bacardy Silver (spelling??? who cares it's a foo foo drink) which is a Budweiser product. The Callan cat was faster than David Scott meaning if Miss Budweiser didn't run than Callan got the cover of Powerboat. And I agree that she souldn't have been allowed to run. All in all one of the most impressive runs was from a 25ft Elminator (red) from Texas that ran 125mph even thought the boat was out of the water most of the time!! THAT GUY WAS NUTS!!!!!!!!!

David Scotts sponsor is Bicardi Silver (owned by Budweiser-which he ran last year as a sponsor). The Miss Bud be referred too is actually the unlimited hydro. It looks like the fastest offshore type boat would have been the Callan cat at 168. David Scot ran 165.

Your right catnaround, bud did what ever it took to get on that cover. The rumor around Shooters was Scots boat was actually faster than he ran but his props were slipping too much. I don't know if you guys were there and if you were then I'm sure you noticed that the Callan crew wasn't happy, they didn't even hang around after the races like everyone else! The 55ft v-bottom Callan stuck around and he wasn't too happy either!! It's sad the bud crew had to stoop to that level just to win but I'll bet next year Callan comes back with allot more!!

125mph is pretty fast for a 25ft Daytona, but not impressive with 1600hp. A few years ago a 25 went something like 133mph and I don't think it had that much HP, and the latest 25ft Daytona went 144 with 1300HP, with a experimental drive too.
Cool Photos though, would like to attend one of these sometime.

After living in Califorina for 35 years, I love to watch any kind of race. Kilo races aren't that exciting but it is still a race. So next year you will find that there will be more Gold cup boats and less big Cats. Why should they inter with no hope of wining the race. The offshore boats need more distance to get there boats up to speed. Don't get me wrong I'm not an Offshore man eather, I like smaller boats 18 to 22 feet with lots of HP like the K-boats now these guys have big Balls. If you have never seen a K-boat race you don't know what your missing. (Buy the way I think Powerboat magazine Sucks)
