mmm ... do I smell a sponsored hull?
Don't get confused here, I'm just saying that Tom thinks a Placecraft could turn some heads with the NA guys if it were setup correctly, which he could do. I'm...

I would love to race one, maybe later on down the road I will build one.
Chris, you should talk to Tom. He has told me that he'd like to get someone with their act together, with an NA deal, that...

You can still have one made.
I am assuming that was a question???? Yes, mine is a 2007.

Given the power you guys are making with NA motors, why hasn't anyone tried using a Placecraft? The PC is proven in blown alcohol and blown fuel, and if your pushing the envelope with the daytona's...

You guys sure have some nice rides. Looking forward to seeing them in the water.

I had a cover made recently by Custom Canvas and was really disappointed. I know they can do good work, but they sure didn't do it for me. I had Eric at A1 Canvas (909) 946-4127 do my previous boat...

Yeah, that boat raced ubfj and comp jet back in the day in NDBA. I thought a chic drove it? She trailered my dad a few times when they race the bluewater at parker. I tjink she had a place in the...

Okay, this has nothing to do with the spelling of Hull vs Haul, but it reminded me of the old U-Haul boat that raced in the 80's and driven by Chris Answorth (sp?). It was a California Performance...

LOL. Went for $5100 this time. I pity the guy.
Let's see, $5100 for a piece of junk, or $8,500 for a new trick Giroux tr2? Hmmm, I think I know what I'd do....

Boat Anchor, thanks for the invite, I'll definately take you up on it. How long will it be before the tr2 is out of the mold and ready to "show"?

Wow!!!! That is very cool.... I wonder how much additional he gets for the wood deck? Does Pete have a shop, phone #????

I read in a thread in June that Pete Giroux has the mold for the Cole tr2. Does anyone know if he is making boats, and if so how is the quality and performance of them? Any info would be...

I was looking at it, thinking it might make a good project. However, how bad is bad? What would be the major concerns if I were to take on such a project?

It's obvious that we're never going to agree on half track speeds, non-records, etc. So let's assume that the fastest record pass was the one Oldsquirt posted earlier from Oct. 1983 at 176.39 mph by...

Just left the diverter shop read the timeslip myself it said 3.81 seconds at 1/8mile the speed was 183.69 the total et was only a 7.10 @143 tim basically said he couldnt see so he got out of it, ...

So I see it was a 6.69. my mistake. With this information posted
181 mph @ THE 1/8TH
169MPH @ THE QUARTER
I will respectfully call BS on the 181 mph. Just my unedumacated opinion. The math doesn't...

if you think theyre wrong go talk to tim he still has all of there quickest and fastest timeslips in fact we were just looking at them the other day.
It would be great to get Tim, or someone else...

I'm not sure but I think IHBA and NDBA limited the amount of nitro to 50%, at least in the jets. Maybe someone can confirm that? If I'm right, that would bring the horsepower down a lot....

I understand, and agree, that getting a run at the start has to improve ET. But as for speed, a run at the light really doesn't make a difference as the jets are running top speed at half track. In...

I just got off the phone with Scott Hamilton at Placecraft, he said that Going Places ran 181mph at half track, 6.78et, at Puddingstone in 1993. He said almost all of the fuel Placecrafts ran over...

Billy Henderson's Rated X was also a Placecraft wasn't it?

OK, Trivia for you, Bills first southwind tunnel BFJ was named what before it was Going places?
"Northwest Paving Special"????

It was Bill's boat, but who was driving? Bobby Hall?
Yep, you're right! Still, fastest jet...

October 30, 1983, Phoenix, AZ. Bill Place, "Going Places" ran 176.39 mph in a Placecraft....

Mike is right, bad luck was in the air. His boat was on fire, mine shut off at high speed, and I heard Tony ended up pushing out the head gaskets. And I think we were the only hotrods there, not...
