RD it was nice seeing you and I know Scott is looking forward to some testing sessions:champagne:
I was there today, and even by your boat! Where were you?
RD
I was breaking in motors for my kids race cars, how did the fitting go?:drnkfr
No seat in the boat.. Loo
I think that this was a classic SNAFU in timing. I saw the boat with a seat, then I heard that Terry Lankford (K-6 I think) had it.
Now, I get the impression that Terry got it a little ahead of RD and Scotty's scheduled 'fitment'......
Dave, where are all the PIC's from Needles?
Well I watched Jerry grandstand it at 80 mph for a few minutes.. I think Fueller in the blue Spectra woulda got em.. Ole Ritch had a flip cam on the boat though and we watched it.. He went inside to take care of some nature and I snatched the footage right quick.
Upon closer examination and turning up the volume you can hear ole Kerry saying "I was giving her all she had." at the launch ramp.
This leads me to 2 conclusions.. Either 1. He wasn't. Or 2. Some of the v-drive boys put some small gears in the box to keep it pretty side up and Jerry out of the hospital..
Either way, after watching it all.. The question isn't whether I'd pass him.. I'd give odds on taking a full on rivercruiser up there and running harder then that. The question is in a "real" K boat, how many times his ass is gonna get lapped.

48 gears buddy! arty: My mag is on it's way out or I would've hit 150 for shiz!
Is my wheel done yet? arty2:
Jerry, shit talking aside that boat never ran past 80- 85 that I saw..
I got the video though if you'd like to see it.
RD
That's about right. It sounds fast but doesn't go anywhere..... Our race should end in a close finish....
Not if I bring a Schiada up.. LOL
RD
The funny thing is, these k boats are really only fast with a good driver. You would do better in just about anything else.
I'm thinking that goes both ways Jerry.. or shoudl I call you K-85? mph that is..
