And P3 is done for the weekend. Gary stated his new props (delivery delay) are needed to reduce the slip number and increase the speed. Awesome first run yesterday for @skater40
Only thing faster there is American Ethanol right?

Hoping the Parvey's can get another run or two in. Maybe Carson can turn the beast up a bit. 👍

Was telling the wife I want to go out for the whole week leading up to Shootout Weekend. Leave Havasu with boat in tow early Friday morning and get there by Sunday afternoon. Boat during the week and hit the spots and then do the tie up on the course for Saturday. Stream it on Sunday and then head home Monday morning.

The 255 should do ok out there?? I see some people out there with smaller boats.

I think you’d be ok, if you cruised and are familiar with bigger water. I don’t know the raft up would work with a boat that small but I suppose ya could try it.

This years rdp run is gonna be a fun relaxed little deal. The sponsors are going to get their moneys worth via the social media and web presence that rdp has (something most the other events don’t have / that’s a whole different conversation).

I am going to do an rdp run in the spring as well. :). If those grow into something bigger overtime organically then It is what it is.

I don’t feel the need to go after someone or try to take them out etc.. I’m just gonna do my own thing and we will balance the work / fun ratio to guide the path into the future.

Key word being “fun”.

I’d like to be at monster storm this year and if scheduling allows we will run it. Our current plan is to be at Desert Storm next year as well.

If it quits being fun or too much of a hassle then we will change directions.

Friday RDP Spring Runs, Sunday RDP Breakfast runs to Topock, lunch runs to Pirates.

Would be cool, but it insurance and coordination / organization is too much delegate. We always run Sunday to Topock for breakfast

Scary situation. Almost looked like a medical issue prior to him getting tossed out. Almost like he passed out.

Don't know. They cut away while it still was going in circles, then hard rain started.
Hopefully RD or someone on the scene will respond.

Speedboat Magazine Instagram showed them hit it with a fire boat water cannon and get it shut down. I don’t know if they just flooded the engines or used the pressure to shut the throttles down. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Bob Teague had some great questions about the concept that I wish the on dock reporter would of gotten answers to. What is the range, batteries required, charge required between usage, solar compatibilit, etc.

the green V that ran with the same power did not look stable, but still put up solid number.

4 minutes @ WOT is range we heard

255 will be fine most of the time if you are patient. Water gets ridiculous just slow down & be safe

Fire Chief said they used the water canon to push the throttles forward and ultimately stop It.

It did look like he went passed out right before. Crazy scene.

Forward? I kinda assumed they got lucky with the hatches open and eventually sent enough water down the intakes to kill it..

Take your selfies with the other hand and they won't be upside down.
