Great Job! I am doing some maintenance on my rig this weekend too.

That is a fantastic story!!

Blythe was 5.99 a few weeks ago when we did the river run, and people were LINED UP! Crazy

The racing guys lose transmissions from re entry, that’s why a good throttle man is so important, also why most race boats run crash boxes. Guys like Gary slip do to the power. His shootout tune is well past your land speed car hp wise. I would assume setting up sensors and such would be...

Yeah, on a roll

Congrats to Gary Smith in Predator for winning the 2022 Texas Shootout Challenge. Gary posted a speed of 175, which was over 10mph faster than second place, and a new all time Texas Shootout speed record.

Yep, and tractor pipes!

No matter what it was cool as shit. I follow the guys who have it now. Made some changes I don't like, and the driver sits above the canopies, lol, but it's a runner now with Merc 1100's it looks like.

I don't think they run again. It sounds like it is a close one between Predator and Team Yahoo. Team Yahoo with the old school PSI blowers topped with Dominators! Totally different power plants in the two boats but the same result!

I mean........that shifting is the coolest. Awesome.

I think it’s still one of my favorites to this day. Al really went all in with that boat, and was ONE of the first to run turbos. Dutweiler built the turbo motors, but back then it lacked a computer to adjust parameters to really make it work. It took them 2 years to get the boat on plane...

Couple things.... @Tank - Gary used air assisted crash boxes in P2. They are bad ass but tough, @ChrisV - Number 6's are not like Bravo, etc, the rely on a transmission inside the boat. Plates slip, etc. @Thunderhead1 - I am well aware of Mercury's failures, I just don't hear too many...

He hit the tach recall after the run because he felt the boat sliding sideways. Kept in it and ran 175. The Team Yahoo boat and Gary are the two fastest boats it sounds like.

Gary text me.

Our very own Gary Smith and Predator are there making some runs. 175 so far with a slipping transmission. You wanna talk about hp, I have never heard of a new Merc tranny slipping…ever. Hopefully he can get it handled and bring it home.

Let's do Apache instead..=) Roosevelt is big enough to run her out with the new pumps.

The article is written in favor of the captain, but the documentary was very different. One thing for sure, that ship was in horrible condition and should have been retired.

I thought you only posted in the Speed Car thread? Robby let you go? Bastards? No. Worthless in high stress, high casualty situations, most definitely. Don't act like you are when you are not.

Yes, they write traffic tickets and play dress up. You know what they don't do? Save children.

Ok, ok, ok, 99.6? Just like I can't back up 99.6% are worthless fucks, YOU can't back up they aren't!!!!! Problem is, I bet we can read way more stories about LEO failures like this, instead of them being heros. Case in point......on IG there was a video showing a police officer show up to a...
