[OkieDave]

Has anybody started showing up for the thursday evening drags at Keystone yet this year? I am going this evening.

Do you have to have a boat to get there or can you watch from the bank somewhere. Wouldn't mind coming out sometime to watch but we keep our boat in storage at Gibson...:confused:

Wow, I've been a member for a year and a half and just hit 200 posts. I'm becoming a regular post *****...:D Gotta get a life.

[OkieDave]

You can if you ride a four wheeler or something. It is pretty far to hike into. There were about a dozen boats this week. About half of them jets, two were blown. One hydro(V-drive) and an outboard. Fastest one was a gull-wing style jet with a single-carbed BBF. lots of driftwood and debris on the beach from the recent high water.

Ok guys, I need he info, I am just finishing up my drag, can you give me all the details or someone to contact? Is weekday evenings the only time they have them? Long haul from Fort Smith to make it after work. Thanks

Thurs evening = no lake patrol or weekend lakers to complain.
Weekends are not a good time for drag boats on Keystone.
Ft. Gibson "The Island" is drag boat friendly on the weekends.
PM me if you need any more info.

We were out there (Keystone) last saturday. Lots of crap still floating in the water and its up 3-4 ft from normal I think. And I haven't heard if they ever found that guy that drowned over near Salt Creek. We saw a few rescue boats but didn't know what was going on at the time.

[Infomaniac]

anyone going tonite?
I think Josh will bring his Fountain. We need to fine tune his engines. He has not run them wide open yet.
Randy may bring the quad rotor boat.

[OkieDave]

I'll be there with last years new boat. still puttin this years new one together.

[Infomaniac]

Randy just called and said he took his out last night and the alternator is not charging. He will pass on tonite.

Where is Keystone?Where do race and launch at?I would be coming from FTW.Kill the terroist then ask questions-Maybe!

[Seadog]

Keystone is west of Tulsa. You have to take 412 (Cimmaron Trpk) across the lake and then its the first recreation area on the south side(Appalacia Bay), if I remember right.

[OkieDave]

It looks like the weather will be favorable this evening. Anybody going? I am. There were about 16 boats last week.

[STROKER ACE]

when are the drags a chotobend or how the hell you spell that

[ONAROLL]

I understood the guy that oversees Chouteau Bend State Park demanded more than a reasonable amount to host the races last year, I really like that park I would like to see guy take better care of it, I use it alot and it seems kinda ratty most of the time.
Dave, it was a busted valve spring and bent push rod, I'm up for thursday.........

[OkieDave]

anybody on here goin this eve? I am.
I heard last nite that James broke the carbed blown alcohal motor in his new cheyenne so he put his injected blown alcohal motor out of his hydro in it.

[Infomaniac]

He did. He had it out at the island Monday. I do not think it runs any better, maybe worse. Sounds nasty.

[DUECE'SDAD]

IM HEADIN OUT THERE THIS THURSDAY WITH A FEW BUDDIES AND THEIR LAKE JETS THEY NEED SOME HELP WITH TUNING ANY ONE ELSE GOING TO BE THERE, I WAS GOING TO BRING THE HYDRO BUT WILL PROBABLY WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK I FINALLY GOT SOME 22% GEARS AND IT CAME ALIVE, I HIT 98 ON GPS WITH ONLY ME AND 94 WITH A PASSENGER THE GEARS SURE MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE STEPPING DOWN FROM 37% WHO ALL IS GOING TO BE THERE

[Infomaniac]

HOW MUCH $$$$ FOR A HIGH SPEED RIDE IN YOUR BOAT THE COUGAR

[Infomaniac]

It's broke right now. Has a small hole in the sponson where the driveshaft smacked it.
Steel seems to a bit tougher than fiberglass. Torque seems to be a bit tougher than "U" joint yokes.

[OkieDave]

I will bring out my new Cheyenne only without the seats. my seat guy isn't done yet. i have an old seat out of my pink boat in it for temp. The white boat has a broke piston. got new ones yesterday but not in time to put it together.
