76 Bies,
PE383 will be there racing or the boat will be for sale. You might consider it a nice peace. If you would like to see a picture, go to dragboats.com and pull up the pictures and go to boats by name, click on Liquid Invader. Oh the boat runs ok too.
Manic Mechanic don't panic. I'm sure you can work on a Pro MOd boat. Probably all day and all night.
John and I may be up to something.

Jim! How are you? I have been trying to call you. Get in touch with me. Cole 383 will give you my # if you don't have it. I'd like to try to plan ahead a little this year. Cole 383 doesn't know at this point what his plans are this season. How about you? Any chance of you and Sandy coming to the Lake Anna deal? Beverly and I are planning to go. Let us know something.

Hey 857,
Don't get to excited about us southern boys. We are both broke. All we are up to is a bunch of talk. Thanks for the tour on friday. It is a good winter fix to come up on the hill to visit the BIG BOY.
Hey Guys check this out. I went out in the garage and stood between two blown hydros. One gas, one alky. I stood and rubbed the candy paint one beautiful gas boat. Leaned over and tried to smell the HP out of the zoomies on the big alky motor. Heck that was almost as good as sex. Shoot at my age it may have been better. I think i can make it till spring now. We did some serious bench racing. Funny thing i can't remember 857 ever outrunning me and he can't remember 383 ever outrunning him. Must be oldtimers setting in. We do have a plan for those Schmidt guys and Mr Wahler. They have beat up on us for the last time.

We're ready to go racin' let me know something. And what's this ProMod Stuff? John & Leland- keepin' me in th' dark? Now that's not right! Tim smile_sp

Hey 857 you got Jeff all excited about building a sleeper motor for his new jet. You know the more you talk, the more work your creating for me. As soon as I figure out this new picture posting I will post some Augusta pictures.

Tim: How u doin , man? Sorry to hesr about your truck problem. We're still not sure what our schedule is yet asa far as racing is concerned. Gonna see if we can afford gas to travel this summer.
Shirkey: I didn't say anything to Jeff about building a bigger motor for the new jet, but you know what ever it is you will have to assemble it, so you might as well make it a stormer.
383 and 066: Are you guys planning a heart transplant? Smells like the Invader might be getting a Huffer. Just guessin.
Anyway, racing season is getting closer, and the rumors are getting better.
Looking forward to being on the road with you guys.

76 Bies,
#383 is the boat in the water at the in-ramp. I have some pics of the boat I can send you. Give me a call-I think Leland gave you my number. If not, it's in my profile.
Later,
John

JetboatBrian, like I told Shirkey4750, I am that ugly guy without a shirt that you see behind big Jim in the last picture on this thread. So far it looks like we will be running Jim's P/E boat and if things work out, we (our little group of WV/Florida friends) will also be running a new (to us) PRO MOD boat! Come hang out with us! I'll be the guy with the stethoscope!(they like to tease me and call me DOCTOR DOWNARD, but I make 'em pull 'em RIGHT BEFORE THEY BLOW, never been wrong yet!)We will look forward to meeting you. We'll get you hooked too (like they did me-we're like DOPE dealers devil )so leave the weekend of the Gadsden AL race open, We'll talk you into coming! :D :D Tim wink
