where was PIRATE ? we need more info !:cheers2:

Pirate was third, about 1/4 mile back. They had some new parts they needed to put on but did ot have time. Dave said the best spped they saw was barely 90. Hopefully with the new parts on it will be better tomorrow.

Randy is out testing a different prop setup now. Up wind the Fountain pulled him. In the corners it was whoever had the best line. Really close finish.

Simmons was heading back out to see if he got his Gremlins fixed.

I believe the 4 SVL boats ran as pro-am today and will run as SVL tomorrow.

That sounds more like it.

It was really cool when it had boats with matching paint jobs.

It was good to see Lisa back out there. I had a little time to chat with her, this is her first race back since the Michigan City flip.

Maybe one of these days she'll fill all of you in on the entire incident. She did say the dunk test for this race made her somewhat apprehensive.

Good luck out there.

Some great racing between Watch Your Back and Typhoon. Randy and Colby really went at Doc and Brian hard. They damn near went over by 6. The rescue bost was unhooking to go get them, but they got it back on the bottom. Actually damaged the hatch and the mirror on Randy's side.

Then they finished second, but on the rev check of the boats at the end, Randy had a legal box and Doc had one with no limiter.....

DQ'd

Typhoon gets a little up in the air. I should have some pics of him almost going over. Talking with Randy, Colby, and the rescue diver after, they all thought they were goners.....

Simmons and Purrrfect put on a tight race in the first heat. It was almost this close throughout

Talbot running against Lisa and Ryan. Both boats ran well both races. Lisa ran strong for her first race back....
