LOTO Shoot Out and Supercat Fest 2022!!

[DWC]

AJ Just ran Scott’s Doug Wright 119! That’s damn good.

Scott didn’t have time to get fuel this morning.. there’s like 20 gallons in the boat. Lol. They were praying it didn’t run out of gas on the run.

Guessing 119 is leading the DW battle?

 

[CSmith]

Not sure what happened to Victory but Dale is building 26 RPMs now, he had a white one with no center pod and 450s at the Islander last weekend.

Any pics? Love those 26 RPM'S.

He had 2 different ones out last weekend. White one and blue one

I saw that as well, that boat was laid up by Lavey, not sure who laid the white one.

Sorry no pics, I love them as well. Curious to see how it runs as a true tunnel.

 

[Singleton]

he did 182

Any idea what class he is in. Can’t find his run

Shootout All Scores by Class

 

[DWC]

Hoping to see the Eticket run.. Looks like a decent run but he should have some more in it even on the 3/4mi track.

184 — Patty driving with Gary on throttles I think.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Got a shootout here! Cory is running the Fatal Attraction 33 Daytona.

Also looks like the DW's are in 2 different classes.

Classes get confusing.
The 33 Elim that running under 140 shows me his DS runs were BS and that boat should of never been king

Yeah I remember all the controversy with that. They just interviewed Mark on the docks and he said he will be back out tomorrow morning to try and break the tie.

That was the guy saying he could best P3? Yet he is almost 50mph slower today?

Same boat. Not sure on driver

 

[FreeBird236]

Same boat. Not sure on driver

How about the engines? Certainly not the 192MPH LOTO engines.

 

[Singleton]

Correct - When that boat won LOTO it had different power and that was 2 or 3 owners ago

 

[AEA]

There’s hundreds of marinas.. which one?

Which ever one you or your video guys are at during that time.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Looks like 36 DW with 450's is fastest twin OB so far. Just ran 123.

 

[RiverDave]

well I think it’s pretty clear who the actual winner of last years desert Storm was.. lol.

A minus 50 mph swing between shoot outs isn’t normal..

I often wonder if I should get my kids into this.. I’m half toying with getting into RZR 170 racing this winter.. my friend has last years winning car and he will sell it to me for ten.

I was pretty crippled during the formative years.. still crippled but ready to do something and I got friends that want to go have fun as well.

That said my oldest daughter @ 11 years old will run my toon through the channel on a holiday weekend with no input from me and put it in a slip.

Just on all the kids I haven’t really pushed anything “competitive”. We don’t really do sports so maybe this would be a better option for me..

 

[Skinny Tire AH]

@RiverDave

Are “LOTO” the event and SCF different events?

Or more specifically, different promoters

Boats offroad, whatever

I had that thought, but then remember the commitment JW had when his sons were doing the trucks. Tons of time and $$.

My kid has waterpolo and volleyball, to learn how to lead in a team. With practices T, W, Th, F 530 to 730 then tournaments on the weekends, we have zero free weekends until Thanksgiving.

 

[OLDRAAT]

Stopped early due to rain.

 

[Singleton]

Stopped early due to rain.

It was scheduled to end at 4pm CST, so not much was lost. Only 4-6 boats were pending to run before it closed.
over 135 runs today.

sure wish DS could copy part of this event, but not going to occur.

 

[JFMFG]

Anyone know if frankoo ran his m44 today? I missed everything except the last 30 before the stopped it for the rain.

Yeah he did 3 times. Best was 148 mph.

Went 1 hour longer this year, only 6 hours of racing in 2021. Got 7 hours today. Conditions couldn't have been better but Bob was right about needing a little wind as water looked sticky.

 

[JFMFG]

Did he have people in the bow?

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Did he have people in the bow?

Heck no. That wouldn't be allowed in the Shootout.

 

[JFMFG]

Heck no. That wouldn't be allowed in the Shootout.

That was a joke.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Surprised at the lack of representation from Eliminator with some of the new models and didn't see any Tuff's running either.

 

[H20 Toie]

What was the fastest DCB ?

 

[OLDRAAT]

So many spectator boats, the passes are delayed since race boats have to go almost to the bridge before exit this year. Three-quarter course adds a bit of time to end.

I'm kinda bored with the toons, anybody else?
I acknowledge the big $$ units are incredible, but I ain't going 100+ on metal tubes with a garage door on top.

This is why Tuff wasn’t there unfortunately.

It was Mauricio in the M41 I think (148mph)

I acknowledge the big $$ units are incredible, but I ain't going 100+ on two metal tubes with a garage door on top.

The 450 toons that porpoise the whole course to run in the 70s are lame, at least one of the single 400r toons was running good though.

Yea, when I heard American Ethanol was done for the day, I figured Predator 3 would also be done. I didn’t care to watch pontoon boats going 70mph for the next few hours. It’s exciting to see the big boys running flat out or some of the smaller boats really pushing past the limits. Toons are just boring.

 

[Dog]

Bored with the pontoons as well. I have been enjoying watching the different hull styles at different speeds and Teagues commentary about the different boat designs.

That’s Kory Perog, and his dad Joe is my best friend. Joe throttled, and has been tutoring Kory on running cats since he’s been out of diapers.

Joe is a former SuperStock Outboard racer, and knows a thing or two. He owns this Wright Performance 360, and has a 32 and a 38 being laid up right now.

Kory has an STV ProComp that ran 85 with a 115XS Opti, recently converted to Merc V6 4-stroke that runs well over the century mark.

Gotta get them involved in order to carry the sport.

Oh, and I helped do setup on this last week

Yes but they work together. People get along out here

Which is my point. Maybe Christine would listen to you?

SCFW and DS starts the season, SCF and LOTO Shootout ends the season.
Awesome bookend events IMO and would be great for all events.
BUT…….

$$ clouding judgements IMO.
LOTO is forecasting over 500k in charitable allocations this year alone (last year they gave out over 350k). The bridge to bridge event alone is going to donate over 75k. Both these numbers were reported on the live feed today by the coordinators. The LOTO Exec committee that runs the shootout does it to support the local community, zero salary from the event. They run it like a board with elections etc, so you don’t have 1 group controlling everything. Takes years to get to that position and IMO works very well.

DS is not setup the same. You have 1 person trying to do it all with final say over everything. DS needs an Exec committee and heads that lead each event (Wednesday rides, street party, poker run, shootout, etc). The event head has final call on decisions that drive that event.
